9 Benefits of Using Submersible Pumps

1. 9 Benefits of Using Submersible Pumps Convenient and Portable 1 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. Self-Priming 2 3 Since a submersible pump is submerged in the liquid it is pumping, it is already “primed” and needs no priming. This saves a lot of hassle and cost, not to mention the maintenance involved if a pump that needs priming is run while dry. Extremely Resistant to Corrosion Because a submersible pump has to be hermetically sealed, they have to be made out of materials that are extremely corrosion-resistant, such as stainless steel. Also, the sealing process means that the inside isn’t exposed to oxidation or corrosive materials. 4 Can be Used With Pressure Pumps A pressure pump needs a supply of water to work and a submersible pump can be submerged into a lake or a well to provide water for a pressure cleaner. 5 Versatile As we mentioned earlier, there are a lot more uses for submersible pumps than as a basement sump pump. There are also some that operate while only half- submerged and some are designed for handling sewage and other solids. 6 Electric Submersible pumps are electric; all you need to run one is access to an electrical outlet. Most come with long power cords, as long as 16 metres, ensuring that you always have access to power. 7 8 Less Maintenance, More Durability The factors we have mentioned here combine to produce a pump that needs almost no maintenance and is going to last a lot longer than other kinds of pumps. Maximum Flow, Minimum Noise Since the pump is submerged, there isn’t nearly as much noise as with a pump that is operating out in the open. The water “dampens” or absorbs most of the sound. In addition, the parts are contained within a sealed unit, creating another barrier against noise. 9 Safety The fact that the sump pump is sealed and submerged makes it much less of a safety risk to children than other pumps. A pump with moveable parts sitting outside of your sump pit or basement presents a risk to children and even to adults. You can also put a board over your sump pump to conceal it even further.
