Centrifugal pump
Jet pumps
Impeller rotates inside boosting water pressure • Needs electricity • Pump casing must be full of water to operate
Reciprocating pump
Centrifugal pump
Jet pump
Also uses and impeller • Pump is connected to long pipes underground • The impeller rotates creating vacuum pressure
Reciprocating pumps
Centrifugal pumps
Jet pumps
Simplest form • A shallow piston moves up and down creating suction • Locally called as ‘Poso’
Lift pump
Plunger pumps
Deep well pumps
Can convey any liquid • A “plunger” is driven backwards and forwards • Industrial applications with high-pressure system
