Conventional pumps are a type of water pump that use electrical energy or fuels such as gasoline or diesel as a power source to operate. This pump is designed for general needs, such as lifting water from specific sources (wells, rivers, or reservoirs) for various applications, such as households, irrigation, or industry.

Main Components of a Conventional Pump:

- Drive Motor: Generates power 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: Taking water from its source.
- Discharge Pipe: Channels water to the distribution point.

Advantages of Conventional Pumps:

- Wide Availability: Easily found in the market with various models and capacities.
- Low Initial Cost: More affordable compared to renewable energy-based pumps.
- Stable Performance: Provides a consistent water flow if the energy supply is stable.
- Diverse Applications: Suitable for households, agriculture, and industrial needs.

Conventional pumps are still the primary choice in many areas due to their efficiency, availability, and ease of use, especially in locations with easy access to electricity or fuel. However, with the development of renewable energy-based technology, its use is beginning to compete with more environmentally friendly pumps such as solar-powered pumps.
