Before you buy a submersible pump, make sure you know the facts about them first. Some are more powerful than others, some are more durable, and some are more energy efficient.
Submersible pumps can be used in a variety of situations. However, the most common use is to transfer water from one location to another. This may be at ground level or underneath the ground. Depending on how deep the water is, you can choose between a shallow well pump or a deep well pump.
Shallow and deep well pumps
Shallow well pumps are used to extract water from shallow aquifers where the water table is close to the surface and typically pump from a depth of about 12 metres. Deep well pumps are used to extract water from a depth of 30 to 90 metres.
Water is pulled through a submersible pump at a rate of about 230 litres per minute to move briny water to a deeper well.
Uses of submersible pumps
Submersible pumps are great to circulate water in a pond, adding oxygen to the water and preventing algae from forming. They can also be used to create a waterfall in your pond.
A submersible pump is a pump that can be fully submerged in water. A submersible pump pushes water to the surface by pulling water into the pump, where the rotation of the impeller pushes the water through the diffuser to the surface. The motor is hermetically sealed and close-coupled to the body of the pump.
The primary advantage of a submersible pump is that it never has to be primed, as it is already submerged in the fluid. Submersible pumps are exceptionally efficient because they don’t have to spend much energy moving water into the pump because water pressure pushes the water into a submersible pump.
Some submersible pumps can easily handle solids, while some are better for liquids only.
However, there are a few disadvantages of submersible pumps. For example, the seals can become corroded with time, allowing water to seep into the motor, requiring extensive repairs. Another disadvantage is that one pump does not fit all uses.
Single-stage pumps are ideal for most home and light industrial pumping.
Multiple stage pumps are used for anything underground, such as water wells or oil wells.
Submersible pumps must be fully submerged to prevent the pump from overheating.
How submersible pumps work
Submersible pumps are often used to pump water from a well. They are also used in ponds and waterfalls, as well as in agriculture and construction. The two significant types of submersible pumps are the centrifugal pump and the non-clog pump. A centrifugal pump is a type of pump whose primary purpose is to move water from one location to another. A non-clog pump moves water in the opposite direction.
Submersible pumps can be both horizontal and vertical pumps because they can technically move either water in the direction of flow or the opposite direction.

Suppose you need to choose the best multi crusher for your pump operated system. In that case, it’s vital to review all considerations to ensure your pump operated system remains effective at crushing your waste.
What is a multicrusher?
A multicrusher is a macerating unit based on the design of a rotary lobe pump. However, instead of rotating lobes, there are blade and cutter arrangements installed with two central screws to hold them in place. The relative rotation speed of the two shafts ensures an optimised crushing effect that prevents any material from wrapping around the blades and cutters.
Most multicrushers can be accessed for maintenance in place (MIP) that allows for quick and convenient repair and replacement of fluid wetted parts without the need to remove any pipes, drives or other pump components.
Multicrushers are the perfect fluid handling solution for customised applications. In standard applications, a fluid/solids mixture flow through the multicrusher. Multicrushers can also be installed on the discharge side of various pump devices since it’s equipped with lobe pump seals. Heavy fluids enter through a hopper into a side-mounted multicrusher, where single or twin shaft augers feed solids into the multicrusher.
Multicrusher applications
Multicrushers are effective at macerating solids contained in liquid and are used in various applications.
- For mixtures of heavy viscous waste oil, water, and solid waste, a combination of multicrusher and submersible rotary lobe pump make light work of the job.
- There are often rags and stringy materials found in wastewater treatment plants that pose a problem for pumps, valves, instruments, controls, and other downstream equipment. Multicrushers can handle these issues with ease.
- Raw sewage sometimes contains foreign objects that can cause blockage downstream without the help of a multicrusher.
- Plastic recycling requires the simultaneous washing and macerating of products. A multicrusher and rotary lobe pump combination ensure particle size reduction and reliable plastic/water transfer.
- Solid fruit and vegetable waste can be crushed into a pumpable solution.
- Slaughterhouse waste needs to be macerated and transferred.
Different rotation speeds of the shafts and blades of a multicrusher ensure optimum cutting and self-cleaning results.

With South Africans struggling to deal with frequent water shortages, many homes, businesses, and farms have started to install boreholes. A borehole is a narrow, drilled hole filled with a casing. The casings have inlet holes at the level from where the water is to be pulled, and a pump supplies suction to draw the water from the ground. However, the limited width of boreholes requires specialised pumps that can easily fit inside. These pumps are either line shaft turbine pumps or submersible electric pumps.
Did you know? A borehole pump can extract about 20 000 litres of water per day.
Groundwater accumulates from rainfall and underground springs. Apart from the drilling costs, and the little electricity used to power your borehole pump, using your own water supply will provide enormous savings every month. Borehole pumps use less energy to extract water than it does to get drinking water from your tap, and the water is a lot healthier.
Borehole pumps are an important economic and environmental choice to offer homes, businesses, and farms unlimited access to thousands of litres of clean water a day, helping to alleviate water shortages.
Boreholes for farmers
A water borehole on agricultural lands can bring several benefits to farmers and offer the perfect solution as an alternative water source.
Following the initial cost of drilling and installing pipes and borehole pumps, the long-term benefits of a borehole far outweigh these expenses.
Drilling a borehole offers many benefits for farmers, including:
- Cost savings, as water from a borehole costs less than municipal water.
- Underground water is of high quality, which is crucial when municipal water may not be safe.
- Using underground water helps to save valuable resources.
- It is a drought alternative, serving as a backup source of water.
Drilling a borehole
Before you can drill a borehole, you’ll need to check whether there are other boreholes in the area and whether there’s enough underground water to use. Then, a borehole company will drill the borehole and supply quality borehole pumps and pipes. This company can provide a complete solution that considers local laws and existing infrastructure.

Submersible sewage pumps are an excellent solution for homes and businesses with septic tanks. However, they can be used in a wide variety of scenarios, which is why it’s essential to have as much information in hand before you choose one.
What are submersible sewage pumps?
A submersible sewage pump is a device that is used to pump sewage from one place to another. There are two types of submersible sewage pumps: a jet pump and a propeller pump. The jet pump is a submersible sewage pump that works by using a high-velocity jet of water at the end of a rotating shaft. Propeller pumps can pump larger volumes of wastewater.
Both types of submersible sewage pumps work by pumping wastewater from a source, usually a septic tank, to a treatment site.
Jet pumps are best suited for centralised wastewater treatment systems, such as municipal wastewater treatment plants. Turbulence pumps are the smaller and more affordable counterparts to jet pumps.
Which pump is suitable for your septic system?
When you have a septic system, it can be hard to know which submersible sewage pump you should get. Naturally, you don’t want to spend money on a pump you don’t need, but you also want one that’s going to be powerful enough to handle your needs. Your pump should be able to handle at least 3 700 litres per minute.
If you live in an urban area, you may want to look for a water-driven pump if you’re trying to avoid plumbing and are concerned about leaks. These pumps can be used to discharge waste from wastewater treatment plants automatically and can be designed to work with your septic tank.
How do I choose the right pump for my septic tank?
The most important thing to look for when choosing a submersible sewage pump is its head height. The head height is the distance from the water level in the septic tank to the top of the pump.
In addition to height, another factor to consider is how fast the water level increases and decreases. Pumping systems should keep the water level within a maximum and minimum range. A pump with a slower water speed may be necessary for installations where the maximum and minimum water level are variable.
Installing a submersible sewage pump in an existing septic system is a relatively easy DIY project.
To maintain a submersible sewage pump, you will need to take the time to clean it regularly. Cleaning will ensure that the pump can be used for a long time. Cleaning a submersible sewage pump is much easier than it sounds and is especially important when it comes to your household pumps.

Living in an area with hard water can be an expensive problem. When groundwater flows through the pipes of your home, the dissolved minerals combine with heat, leaving a build-up that damages your pipes, appliances, and fixtures.
As rainwater flows through the ground, it collects minerals like calcium and magnesium along the way. Water with a large number of minerals is classified as hard water. Hard water is not harmful to your health but can cause damage to your home.
A water softener treats hard water by removing it through a process called ion exchange. Mineral ions that cause hardness are trapped by resin within the system and exchanged for sodium and potassium ions. While water softeners may remove mineral ions, they do not remove contaminants such as bacteria or heavy metals like lead, mercury, or even iron.
Signs of hard water
If you’ve noticed any of these signs when washing dishes, doing laundry, or showering, you may have hard water.
- Faucets with watermarks
- Excessive lime and chalk build-up on the walls of sinks and showers
- The colours of your clothing fade unusually fast
- Water tastes or smells wrong
- Your skin and hair feel dry or itchy after a shower
- Low water pressure
- Appliances using water break quicker than they should
- Dishes have watermarks and residue when dry
Water treated with a water softener versus untreated hard water has many benefits:
- Cleaner and shinier silverware, glassware, mirrors, tiles, cars, or any plumbing fixtures
- Softer skin and clean, smooth hair
- Less soap and shampoo used
- Fabrics last longer, and whites stay whiter
- Longevity of water appliances such as coffee machines, ice makers, dishwashers, and washing machines

If your facility or site is reliant on the use of water pumping equipment, you are likely aware of the effort and cost involved with keeping them working optimally for extended periods of time. Like any mechanical equipment, pumps will take damage from a range of sources overtime, many of which are unavoidable. When that time comes, you would be glad to have partnered with a supplier who also offers aftermarket services such as installations, maintenance, repairs and replacements.
Here’s why:
MINIMISING DOWNTIME
Downtime is never optimal for facilities, but when equipment fails, the only thing you can really do about it is try to get equipment up and running again. But time is money, so you wouldn’t want to be excessive with taking your time to do so.
Sourcing parts and replacements and repairing equipment takes time and effort that could be placed in other areas of your business. However, if you have a supplier who can assist with these efforts when they are needed, downtime will be a minimal problem for your facility.
A STEADY SUPPLY OF PARTS
Sourcing reliable spares and parts for systems such as
submersible water pumps
can be tricky and expensive if you are not part of a supplier’s network, which presents a challenge to facilities since their efforts and attention are generally more spread out than simply sourcing spare parts.
By partnering with a supplier that handles all areas of your aftermarket needs, however, you won’t need to worry about where to get those spares, and when they will arrive.
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
Besides the need for parts, there is a certain amount of skill and training involved with maintenance and installation of pumping systems, and mistakes can lead to additional costs and inefficiencies.
Because of this, it is best to let the pump supplier handle installation and maintenance, to ensure that you get the most out of optimal performance, lowered operational costs, and an extended lifespan for your equipment.

In an earlier article we discussed some of the benefits that come with owning your own submersible Drainage Systems.
With an abundance of benefits to choose from the unit is perfect for half or full submersion in re-trieving and removing
liquids. Moreover, you can transport water more effectively and even get rid of some solid materials.
Electric Units
Submersible Drainage Systems are electric. What this does is ensure that you have a constant source of power when doing
your task.
Likewise, having access to an electric outlet will guarantee you maximise the power of the system. You can also access
power in an efficient way which means the system is using only what it needs.
Enhancement Of Space
Space is crucial in almost all pump related tasks. However, the size of the system allows for less use of space which
makes transportation and work easier.
Furthermore, the submersible Drainage Systems are small and lightweight and can be stored sim-pler than other kinds of
pumps.
Safer
It is true that these types of pumps are safer to use. The primed unit has been sealed so that it can be used
underwater. As such, it poses a lower risk to safety than other types of pumps.
All moveable parts are found inside the system which assures that there is fewer chances of risk to children or adults
during the process.
Increased Flow and Lower Noise
With a higher degree of flow and much less noise tasks will be completed in a shorter amount of time with more
efficiency.
The pump is usually fully submerged under the liquid which makes noise pollution limited or alto-gether eliminated.
Less Maintenance
The submersible Drainage Systems offer a great benefit in the fact that they do not contain as much maintenance. When
you compare it to other pumps your new system decreases repair and service maintenance due to its durability.

This is dangerous as it can cause major issues including mould growth as well as damages to exposed electric wires.
Convenient
These submersible Drainage Systems ensure that you can get the work done in both small and large areas. This is down to the size of the system which is light and easy to transport.
Thanks to the size of the unit you are guarantee that you can use it in almost any area you require it.
Submersible pumps are extremely convenient because they are usually small, light and portable. Most have a handle so they are easily carried anyplace they are needed.
Primed and Ready
All submersible pumps are primed and ready to remove liquid as they have to be submerged in the substance. Drainage Systems allow for a decrease in maintenance costs due to this and lower the hassle it takes to replace or service a system.
Efficiency
The higher level of efficiency in these Drainage Systems comes from the design. It has been spe-cifically created in order to deal with submersions and removal of liquids at a highly effective rate.
Moreover, the benefit of kinetic energy ensures that fluids move through the outlet easier.
Utilised With Pressure Pumps
When you combine both the submersible Drainage Systems and pressure pumps you have more durability. In fact, you will have the option to submerge your system in a lake or even a well.
Moreover, you can now use the water as a pressure cleaner for your convenience.
High Resistance
As a submersible pump being hermetically sealed you will have a higher resistance to corrosion. The process of sealing ensures that the internal components are not exposed to oxidation and other corrosive materials.
Versatility
Last, but not least, the submersible pumps offer many used than simply a basement pump. They can operate being fully or even half submerged in the liquid.
Moreover, they can handle sewage as well as other solid materials.
