How Does A Submersible Well Pump Work?

When it comes to accessing clean, reliable water from your private well, the submersible well pump stands out as an efficient, durable, and trusted solution. At GeoWater Services, we understand the importance of having a well water system that performs seamlessly, ensuring your home, business, or community has uninterrupted water supply.

Here’s an expert guide to understanding how a submersible well pump works and why it’s a preferred choice for many Colorado water well owners.

What Is a Submersible Well Pump?

A submersible well pump is an electrically powered pump designed to operate entirely underwater inside a well. Unlike surface pumps that sit above ground and pull water up, submersible pumps are installed deep within the well, usually several hundred feet below the surface. This setup allows them to push water to the surface efficiently, utilizing the natural pressure of the water column.

At GeoWater Services, we specialize in selecting, installing, and servicing submersible pumps tailored to the specific needs of your well and water demand, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

How Does the Submersible Well Pump Function?

The working principle of a submersible well pump is straightforward yet highly effective:

• Electric Motor: 
  Housed below the water level inside the pump, the electric motor powers the pump. This motor is sealed to prevent water intrusion, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh conditions.
  
• Impellers: 
  Connected to the motor shaft, a series of impellers push water upward. As the motor rotates the impellers, they impart kinetic energy to the water, moving it through stages until it reaches the surface.
  
• Water Intake: 
  The water enters the pump through intake holes near the bottom, ensuring fresh flow from the well.
  
• Discharge Pipe: 
  The pressurized water is then sent upward through a discharge pipe connected to your plumbing system, delivering water directly to your home or irrigation system.

This submersible design means the pump can overcome deep water levels and maintain steady flow rates without the noise or mechanical issues associated with above-ground pumps.

Advantages of Choosing a Submersible Well Pump

There are many reasons why homeowners and communities across Colorado trust submersible well pumps and rely on GeoWater Services for their installation and maintenance:

• Energy Efficiency: 
  Submersible pumps use less electricity because they push water rather than pull it, reducing mechanical strain.
  
• Quiet Operation:
  Installed underwater, these pumps operate silently, eliminating noise concerns.
  
• Durability: 
  Built to withstand harsh underwater environments, submersible pumps typically last longer and require less frequent repairs.
  
• Consistent Water Pressure: 
  They maintain steady water pressure even in wells with changing water depths.
