A submersible pump, also called an electric submersible pump, is a pump that can be fully submerged in water. The motor is hermetically sealed and close-coupled to the body of the pump. A submersible pump pushes water to the surface by converting rotary energy into kinetic energy into pressure energy, It is a centrifugal water pump, meaning it has a motor that powers an impeller designed to rotate and push water outwards

• USES - Submersible pumps are fitted within chambers spaces holding water that require lifting to another location, foul or surface water to be moved between points of discharge.

An End Suction Pump is a type of Centrifugal Pump where the suction is axial and the discharge is at 90 degrees to the suction. Many designs have a centre line discharge to comply with worldwide or regional standards

• USES - Centrifugal pumps are commonly used for pumping heating or chilled water. In fact, there is a design of centrifugal pump suitable for virtually any application involving low viscosity fluids.

Multistage pumps are defined as pumps in which the fluid flows through several impellers fitted in series. The head of a single-stage centrifugal pump is largely governed by the type of impeller and the circumferential speed

• USES - Multistage centrifugal pumps are used for a wide variety of industrial applications thanks to their increased efficiency and ability to pump fluids at higher pressures. Most commercial and domestic high rise buildings will use multistage to boost water feed to the building, in firefighting Used to pressurize water to help extinguish fires sprinkler systems

In-line pumps are centrifugal pumps, whose pump discharge and pump suction nozzles lie in a straight line of piping.

• USES - It is often used in building services applications (e.g. heating and air conditioning)

A progressing cavity pump is a positive displacement pump employing a rotor and stator assembly to create temporary chambers to draw fluid into, which 'progress' through the pump resulting in the fluid being expelled through the discharge port

• USES - Progressive cavity pumps are ideal for pumping fluids that have higher viscosities. With a centrifugal pump, the flow rate goes down as the fluid viscosity goes up. This is far less efficient, as the pump must then increase its energy consumption in order to keep up.

A diaphragm pump is a specific type of displacement pump that uses two flexible membranes. The membranes are connected by a central shaft and create a separation between the compressed air and the fluid. A centrally located air valve alternately pushes one of the membranes to the side

• USES - Because diaphragm pumps are so versatile, they are used in virtually every industry that requires fluid transfer. They are often used for dewatering or water removal across many different industries. They are used for filling, dispensing, and metering due to their efficiency and accuracy
