| Submersible pumps are
centrifugal pumps whose hydraulic components (pump casing, impeller,
diffuser element) are flooded by the fluid handled. Usually, this type
of pump is not fitted with a suction line. Pumps whose motor is flooded
in addition to the hydraulic components are referred to as submersible
motor pumps. |

What are submersible
pumps used for?
Pumps that are designed to be submersible are placed within the
reservoir of water that needs pumping out. As such, they are often used
for drainage in floods, sewerage pumping, emptying ponds, boreholes or
even as pond filters. |
