Submersible pumps are a type of pump that can be fully submerged in water. The motor is enclosed in an airtight seal and is close-coupled to the body of the pump. Submersible pumps, also known as submersible water pumps, push water to the surface by converting mechanical energy into kinetic energy, then into pressure energy. This is done by the water being pulled into the pump: first in the intake and past the intake screen, where the rotation of the impeller pushes the water through the diffuser. From there, it goes to the surface and the outlet pipe.
