Centrifugal Pumps

Uses a rotating impeller to move fluid by converting rotational energy into kinetic energy.

Applications:

Water supply systems

Irrigation

Industrial processing

HVAC systems

Firefighting

Advantages:

• • Simple design and easy maintenance

  • High efficiency for large flow rates

  • Handles a variety of liquids, including thin and clean fluids

Disadvantages:

• • Not suitable for highly viscous fluids

  • Requires priming before operation (unless self-priming).

Booster Pumps

Designed to increase water pressure in systems with low pressure. Often used with other pumps.

Applications:

• • Domestic water supply

  • Commercial buildings

  • Municipal water distribution

  • Irrigation

Advantages:

• • Increases water pressure effectively

  • Can be used with existing pump systems

  • Compact and easy to install

Disadvantages:

• • Requires additional power source

  • Limited to increasing pressure, not meant for bulk water transfer.

Submersible Pumps

Fully submerged in the liquid they pump, with a hermetically sealed motor to prevent water damage.

Applications:

• • Borehole water supply

  • Sewage and wastewater treatment

  • Drainage and dewatering

  • Oil wells

Advantages:

• • Highly efficient as they push water rather than pulling it

  • Can operate in deep wells or submerged conditions

  • No priming required

Disadvantages:

• • Difficult to access for maintenance

  • Higher initial cost compared to standard centrifugal pumps.

Fuel Engine Pumps

Powered by a fuel-driven engine (diesel, petrol, or gas) instead of electricity, making them useful in remote or emergency situations.

Applications:

• • Agriculture and irrigation

  • Construction and dewatering

  • Firefighting

  • Emergency backup water supply

Advantages:

• • Operates independently of electricity

  • Portable and easy to move

  • High power output for heavy-duty applications

Disadvantages:

• • Requires fuel refilling and maintenance

  • Noisy operation compared to electric pumps.

Solar Pumps

Uses energy from solar panels to operate, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective water pumping solution.

Applications:

• • Rural and off-grid water supply

  • Agricultural irrigation

  • Livestock watering

  • Pond aeration

Advantages:

• • Zero running cost after installation

  • Environmentally friendly

  • Ideal for remote areas without electricity

Disadvantages:

• • High initial installation cost

  • Performance depends on sunlight availability.
