If you plan to drill a well on your property, you’ll need a pumping unit to deliver water from the well into the pressurized storage tank, where it is held until needed. Although different pumping mechanisms are available, the well repair and drilling experts at Evergreen Well Drilling in Shelton, WA, recommend using submersible pumps for well water systems. Below, the technicians share a few facts about the equipment and how it will add to the quality and efficiency of your well.    

How Does a Submersible Pump Work?

Whereas above-ground pumps pull liquid out of the earth to deliver it to your property, submersible pumps are installed below ground to force water to the surface. Completely submerged in water, a 2- to 4-foot-long cylinder with a sealed motor is attached to the body of the water pump. The motor operates an impeller, which draws water into the pump. Once in the pump, the liquid is pushed above ground to a pipe, where it is delivered to the storage tank. Submersible pumps are designed for both shallow and deep wells and can be sized to meet the demands of your household. 

Why Does Your Well Need a Submersible Pump?

Submersible pumps are installed deep underground, which means they aren’t susceptible to the same problems as above-ground pumping systems. You won’t have to worry about mechanical malfunctions from exposure to the elements or motor failure due to prime deterioration. Without as many breakdowns as other pumping units, you could save money over the lifespan of the system, as you won’t have to invest as much in well repair and maintenance services.
