TYPES OF PUMPS – Centrifugal Pump

utilizes an IMPELLER to pull water into the suction side of the pump;
impeller spins and scoops the water up and pushes it out the pressure
side of the pump. The action and angle of the impeller is typically
engineered for the suction side to be horizontal and the pressure side of
the pump to be vertical.
TYPES OF PUMPS – Piston Pump

utilize valves and a mechanical piston to move fluid. As the piston

moves outwards, the valves move toward the chamber of the pump,
opening the incoming valve (bottom) and closing the outgoing valve
(top), drawing in fluid from the incoming valve into the chamber. As the
piston compresses, the valves move outwards, closing the incoming
valve and opening the outgoing valve, forcing fluid from the chamber
through the output
TYPES OF PUMPS – Reciprocating Pump

 mechanically quite simple; The pump utilizes a piston that is driven

forward inside the cylinder by the motor the action of retracting the
piston pulls liquid in the inlet and the contraction of the piston pushes
the liquid out the outlet port. The lack of complex parts allows the
reciprocating pump to be utilized for many corrosive liquids
TYPES OF PUMPS – Rotary Pump

 rotary vane pump is like most positive displacement pumps in that it

positively displaces the water. Unlike a Reciprocating pump, which
utilizes a piston, a rotary pump utilizes vanes that trap the water
between the two vanes and move the water from the inlet side of the
pump to the outlet side of the pump. These pumps are often utilized in
situations that require a pump to handle highly viscous fluids that do not
high pressure and flow requirements.
TYPES OF PUMPS – Submersible Pump

The water that is forced in a diffuser produces a pressure that will keep the
pump working. To accurately determine the capacity of a submersible
pump, the width of the impeller is taken into consideration while the
pressure that the pump can provide is determined by the number of built-in
impellers of the pump.
TYPES OF PUMPS – Jet Pump

used frequently for domestic water supply. It is a typical centrifugal pump

with the difference that the suction is augmented by a venturi which creates
a vacuum allowing water to be lifted from a deep well. It is an ingenious use
of the pump own discharge pressure and flow to provide pressure water at
the inlet of a venturi which is located in the pump suction.
TYPES OF PUMPS – Sump Pump

used to remove water that has accumulated in a water collecting sump basin,
commonly found in the basement of homes. The water may enter via the
perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system, funneling into the basin
or because of rain or natural ground water, if the basement is below the water
table level.
