A submersible pump is a popular type of centrifugal pump used to pump water from deep below the ground’s surface. This mechanical device converts rotary motion into kinetic energy and has diffuser blades to convert the kinetic energy into pressure energy to push water to the surface. The hermetically sealed motor connected closely to the pump body works to move the water toward the surface instead of pulling it during the pumping process.

Submersible pumps are multi-level centrifugal pumps that should be fully immersed in water to function correctly. They are available in different strengths and models, and choosing the right submersible pump is essential to gain maximum benefits. Deep well pumps, bottom suction pumps, oil-filled pumps, bladder pumps, grinder pumps, booster pumps, and dry-fit submersible pumps are the most commonly used submersible pumps available.

The advantages of using a submersible pump

Submersible pumps offer many unique advantages, making them preferable over other pump varieties. They are best for property owners looking for a time and cost-saving pump solution. The top advantages of using a submersible pump include:

High energy efficiency:

Submersible pumps do not require much energy to pump water as they work directly at the source. Because their energy use is low, submersible pumps do not have to work hard, which helps them last longer.

Safe:

The internal components of a submersible pump are sealed tightly to protect them from water and electrical damage. These devices are made from corrosion-resistant materials to save money on costly repairs. The sealing process prevents the internal components from being exposed to corrosive materials.

Quiet:

Surface pumps are notorious for causing considerable noise. Since the submersible pump remains underwater, its sound softens, and the pump creates little to no noise.

Self-priming:

A submersible pump does not require priming as it works below the level of the medium (water) it pumps. Its self-priming capability saves time, money, and hassle, eliminating the likelihood of overworking the pump.

Portable:

Submersible pumps are lightweight and compact. They do not take up extra space and can be easily carried from one place to another based on the pumping requirements.

Low maintenance cost:

Due to their design and location, submersible pumps require minimal maintenance. Submersible pumps do not require priming, and the hermetic sealing protects their internal components from damage caused by foreign elements.

Repair vs. Replacing: Submersible Pump

A submersible pump is a mechanical device that will malfunction at some point and fail to operate correctly. When a submersible pump acts up, well owners have two options—repair or replace it. Here are some ways to tell whether a submersible pump needs repair or should be replaced with a new pump:

REPAIR

  • The pump motor fails to start. It can happen due to a tripped circuit breaker or irregular voltage due to corrosion or debris.

  • There is air in the pipes connected to the pump due to cracks.

  • The pump runs constantly due to a leak in the suction pipe, faulty pressure switch, or blocked pump screen.

  • The well water is dirty. Dirty water is often the result of minerals in the water, broken water pipes, leaks in the nearby septic system, and surface water washing into the well after heavy rains.

REPLACE

  • If the submersible pump is old and approaching the end of its service life.

  • The cost of pump repairs is more than 50% of the cost of the new pump.

  • The pump experiences a catastrophic issue, and the technician determines it is beyond repair.

  • The pump is faulty or was installed incorrectly.

  • The pump breaks down frequently.

Contact a well pump repair expert if the submersible pump is experiencing issues. Professional technicians often diagnose the problem quickly to determine whether the submersible pump needs repair or replacement.
