What is a submersible engine?

The submarine motor is an electric motor that can work when immersed in the water. This sealed engine usually occurs in use on pumps. The pumps in the sump and water wells use a submersible motor to power the pumping mechanism used in the system. Due to the immersion in water, it is important that all electrical connections to prevent engine damage and anyone who works on the unit. The engine is attached to the pump and lowered down through the well cover. Many contractual suppliers connect a small cable to the unity of the pump to reduce it, while many simply reduce the pump unit down with an electric cord. In both cases, the pump and the submersible engine rest on the bottom of the case suspended in the water. The hose mounted on the nipple on the pump sends water up and out of the well when the submersible engine turns on.

A typical pit pump found in the basement works similar to the toilet valve. The pump attached to the submersible engine is located in a small pit in the lowest part of the basementéna. When the water fills the pit, the plastic float very similar to the toilet tank moves with the deepening water and burns the switch to the pump. The pump sends water to the building plumbing and out to the sewer using the hose connected to the pump. There may be several pumps in the larger building.

This design is critical with the electric pump due to the advantage of pushing rather than pulling liquid. The pump is capable of pushing a much larger amount of liquid than capable of pulling out and therefore requires that the submersible engine place the pump on the liquid source. In this way, the pump that is used is able to work efficiently with a much smaller engine. This results in a less used electricity, the pump and pump engine, which is able to move a large amount of liquid in a short time.

The typical submersible engine is included in the rubber sock that maintains the dryness of the pump. The sock is removed when service or enginey is replaced. This allows the pump to work for a greater time without damaging water. Many submersible engines offer years of continuous use.
