Submersible pumps are installed completely underwater, motor and all. They tend to operate with greater efficiency as they are constructed with either dry motors, where water cannot get into it, or with wet motors where the motor functions normally despite water running through. Ideal for backyard ponds, our submersible pumps are designed for residential applications with a streamlined, space-saving design.

Key Features of Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps are commonly used in irrigation systems to lift water from wells, reservoirs, or other underground water bodies. The attached sprinkler system can then distribute the water through the irrigation network and to the plants above. Agriculturalists sometimes choose a submersible pump because of their efficient water delivery from deep wells and long-term reliability. Just keep in mind that power requirements depend on depth and water volume demand.
Submersible Pump FAQs
What is a submersible pump used for?
A submersible pump is a water pump designed to operate underwater, typically in wells, reservoirs, or tanks. It works by pushing water to the surface using an electric motor sealed in a waterproof housing.
Can a submersible pump handle dirty or sandy water?
Yes, but it depends on the pump’s design. Look for pumps with features like sand-proof bearings or corrosion-resistant materials if you expect sandy or slightly contaminated water. Over time, you may need to clean the intake screens to prevent blockages.
Where can I use a submersible pump?
Submersible pumps are suitable for deep wells, bore holes, reservoirs, water tanks, ponds and lakes. Depending on how well filtered the water source is, your submersible irrigation pump may require proper installation from a pro and regular cleanings to avoid clogging from debris.
