1 hp submersible pump for domestic and agricultural use
Submersible pumps are motors that are fully submerged in the water bodies with a sealed motor. As they are already submerged in water and thus not require priming, it makes them a more efficient thus a better choice. There are two types of submersible water pumps available:
Submersible pumps for open well
Submersible pumps for tubewell or borewell
Submersible water pump for open well:
Open submersible well pumps are ideal for use where the water level changes are frequent. These submersible pumps can be fitted at the base of an open well or sump. Usually made of cast iron making them durable and long lasting, and in addition top coating helps prevent corrosion and rust.
In addition to domestic usage, submersible well pumps can be used for agriculture like for drinking water supply and drip or sprinkler irrigation.
There are various options of submersible pumps online to choose from. They vary in terms of different specifications of delivery range, power, suction and head range.
How do openwell pumps operate?
The pumps are either single stage or multistage. Single phase submersible well water pump is like a monoblock centrifugal pump, but as it is submerged in water the work is not limited by suction lift. In a multiphase openwell submersible pump the water flows through multiple phases or stages.
The range of power of motors available for domestic use are:
0.25 hp submersible water pump
0.5 hp submersible water pump
0.75 hp submersible pump
1 hp submersible well pump
Some of the best submersible pumps - openwell available in India are from Crompton, CRI, Kirloskar and Havells.
Submersible pump for borewell:
Borewell pumps are used to extract underground water. A cylindrical hole is dug into the ground to install the borewell pump.
Choosing the borewell pump:
While choosing the best submersible well pump one must consider factors like energy efficiency, inlet capacity, warrant and durability. The size of the pump is dependent upon the household - how big the family is, dimensions of the house, pump installation space and the height to which the pump will need to lift the water.
The material used for manufacturing the pump should be stainless steel and should have epoxy coating for protection to make it durable and long lasting.
When you buy a submersible pump for a bigger household the discharge rate should be higher so that the time taken to pump water is lower.
Cooling system of the electric submersible pump should also be considered while buying. Options for cooling systems are either water filled or oil filled based.
Power consumption of the borewell pumps are mentioned by the manufacturers. One should always take a look at that before buying a submersible pump. Higher the power, higher would be the electricity consumption. A 1 hp submersible bore pump will consume more electricity when compared to a 0.5 hp borewell submersible pump.
