A submersible pump is designed to be immersed in water, with the pump designed to push the water to the surface. Submersible pumps are involved in flooding and incidents such as rising groundwater in cellars or basements, flooded boats, or flooded areas. The pumps can also be used for draining water, e.g. pumping groundwater to be used as drinking or firefighter water, pumping dirty water, and draining wastewater.
Benefits of Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps have many benefits, they are convenient to use as they are usually small, light, and portable. Most of the pumps we supply here at SLD Pumps have a handle attached which means you have the ability to carry them to your desired location.
A benefit with submersible pumps is that when they are submerged in the liquid it is pumping, as it is already “primed” and therefore does not need to be primed. As the pump is already primed, this will save you time and money, and less maintenance is involved.
The electric motor used in submersible pumps means that the system works using direct pressure which is more effective than the suction method used with other pumps.
Negatives of Submersible Pumps
Unfortunately, there are a few negatives attached with submersible pumps and is mostly to do with seal. The seal on the submersible pump can corrode with time. When this happens, the water seeps into the motor, rendering it useless until it is repaired. Also, the seal makes the submersible pump a bit hard to get into for repairs.

The importance of Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps are one of the most efficient ways to pump liquid from a large body of water. The pump moves the liquid from either level to high level or moves fluid from the low-pressure area to a high pressure area.
