6 Benefits of using Submersible Pumps

Submersible pump, as the name suggests, can be completely submerged in the liquid that needs to be pumped. The ability to be immersed in water differentiates a submersible pump from a standard pump. Basically a centrifugal pump, submersible pumps push water to the surface due to the rotation of impeller. Depending on their application, submersible pumps can further be categorized into grinder submersible pumps, sewage pumps, waste water pumps and more. Darling Pumps is a pioneer in of submersible pumps industry in India. Through their innovative pumping solutions and quality product line, Darling Pumps has set a benchmark in the market.

 

 If you are considering whether to invest in a submersible pump or not, here are few advantages of submersible pumps that you should know –

 1. Priming – Submersible pumps are self-primed; you do not have to do priming separately before use. Thus, you do not have to spend time or money in preparing the equipment and get more time for completing your project.

 2. Repair Costs – As submersible pumps contain a water tight unit that keeps water out of the pump housing. This eliminates chances of leakage or electric shorts due to live wire. Thus, repair time and costs are reduced considerably. 

 3. Efficiency – Submersible pumps are placed at the point where fluid meets the pump so efforts required for pumping the liquid are less.  

 4. Convenience – Submersible pumps are light in weight compared to other types of pumps. They are portable, easy to move around and install.

 5. Variety – There is a wide variety of submersible pumps available in the market. From pressure sewage pumps to septic tank pumps, you can easily find a submersible pump that suits your application. 

 6. Insulated Power Cords – Submersible pumps are usually placed under water or fluid. So they come with long and insulated power cords. 

Submersible pumps make an ideal choice for applications like slurry pumping, waste water pumping, dewatering and more.

How to Choose a Sewage Pump

Sewage Pumps form the backbone of sewage systems in residential and commercial structures. These are automatic pumps used to pump waste from a bathroom to a sewer, or septic line, one of their most common applications. Submersible effluent and sewage pumps are designed to push wastewater to destinations in which gravity flow is not possible. High head effluent pumps are used primarily after aerobic septic systems for spray irrigation and drip systems. Effluent pumps are used to deliver discharge from a septic tank or aerobic system to a drain field or discharge point.

There is a wide array of sewage submersible pumps available in the market. To choose the right sewage pump to fit your application, here are few points you need to consider –

• Capacity and power - Capacity of a pump is how much fluid the pump can move and it’s measured in gallons per minute or gallons per hour. Power is measured in horsepower.

• Materials - Pumps are made of a variety of sturdy materials, including sheet metal, cast iron, stainless steel and other materials.

• Head - Head pressure describes how powerful a pump is. Vertical discharge head pressure describes the vertical lift in height at which the pump can no longer exert enough pressure.

• Warranty – What is the warranty period for the pump? What are the problems and damages covered under warranty?

• Water Quality – Water quality is an important factor that affects the performance of submersible pumps. Get an idea of the level of contaminants and particles present in the water that needs to be pumped and then choose a pump accordingly.

Dewatering Solutions for Construction Sites

One of the primary tasks involved in any construction site is dewatering. The site needs to be dewatered and dried before laying foundation. Groundwater level needs to be lowered before beginning any kind of excavation on the site. So, dewatering solutions are crucial on construction sites and submersible pumps play a vital role in controlling the water level. Not just groundwater, even rain water can cause problems on a construction site. Whether the construction site needs dewatering or not is never a question; the question is what kind of dewatering solution the site needs.

Construction dewatering is the removal or draining groundwater or surface water from a riverbed, construction site, mine shaft and other areas.

Dewatering solutions are required during – 

• Foundation work for construction of building
• Road construction
• Control of Ground water level
• Sedimentations tanks at construction sites
• Tunnel construction

Type of dewatering solution ideal for construction site depends on water quality & various solids/impurities present in water. The concentration and type of solids influence the choice of pump & MOC of pump which can be used to dewater the site. Basically, different types of pumps used for dewatering construction sites include –

• One of the most commonly used pumps, a drainage pump is used for pumping water with less abrasive solids, like clay. Sand, not in a concentrated form, and solids in suspension can also be pumped using drainage pumps.
• Sludge pumps are suitable for pumping water with solids as well as for pumping sludge.
• Slurry pumps are designed to handle abrasive solids in suspension, like sand, gravel and others in high concentration.
