SUBMERSIBLE PUMP VS SURFACE PUMP: BEST ONE FOR YOUR BOREHOLE
SUBMERSIBLE PUMP VS SURFACE PUMP The problem of knowing the best pump to install in your bore hole is not a common in most areas. However, when the wrong choice is made in another area it becomes a big problem. There are two types of pumps you can use in your borehole, it is either you install a surface pump mounted just above the bore or you install a submersible pump known as sumo. A combination of the two may be necessary for building with heights or large sizes of water tanks that need to be filled with water within a short time. Understanding the working principle of each pump, the advantages and disadvantages of each pump, and overall knowledge of the both pumps will assist you in making any purchasing decision. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF A SUMO (submersible pump) Submersible pumps use in borehole application have little difference from the normal submersible pumps use in industrial applications and other purpose. A submersible pump is a pump that can be submerged inside the water. The pump usually have stainless steel case and is well sealed against water penetration into its interior parts. The cable supplying current to it is usually insulated with layers of thick and flexible polymer products. When submerged inside water, the pump sucks water directly from its head and discharges the water through the outlet port at the back or side of the pump. The submersible pump can either be a single stage, double stage, or multiple stage submersible pump. Read the full article
