Shallow water pumps are a type of water pump specifically designed to lift water from sources at relatively shallow depths, usually no more than 7-9 meters. This pump is often used for household needs, small-scale agriculture, or irrigation purposes with water sources such as shallow wells, ponds, or small rivers.
Main Components of a Shallow Well Pump:
- Motor or Drive Engine: Generates mechanical energy to drive the impeller.
- Impeller: A component that creates pressure to draw and push water.
- Pump Casing: Protects internal components and directs water flow.
- Suction Pipe: Connecting the pump to the water source.
- Outlet Pipe: Channels water to the distribution point.
Advantages of Shallow Well Pumps:
- Efficient: Using relatively little energy for operation.
- Affordable Cost: The purchase and maintenance costs are cheaper compared to deep well pumps.
- Easy to Operate: Simple installation and operation, suitable for household use.
- Versatile: Can be used for various needs such as household, fish ponds, or small irrigation.
Shallow water pumps are a practical choice for daily water needs that do not require lifting from deep water sources.
