If you have a suitable water source, you can run the Stainless Steel Submersible Pump continuously as needed. Having said that, it is imperative not to let the submersible pump run idly. Dry operation of most submersible pumps may cause major damage to internal motors and components. Therefore, we recommend that you buy an automatic pump with a float switch.

There are many different types of submersible pumps. The two most common types are 1. Drainage submersible pumps and 2. Wastewater/sewage submersible pumps. Ultimately, the only difference between the two is the type of water or waste they can pump.

Drain submersible pump

The most common use of this type of pump is to drain water. They can be used for many different purposes. Most commonly, they are used to remove excess water in cellars or basements that are prone to flooding. If you buy this type of pump, please note that you need to pump the water to a safe and suitable location. You can also purchase a "lifting station" that can safely drain water from the property and store the water in a water tank.

Wastewater/sewage submersible

When you plan to pump wastewater or sewage, you will need to consider purchasing some heavier loads. Stainless Steel Submersible Sewage Pump is the ideal choice. This type of pump is suitable for applications with particles in the water, such as when emptying septic tanks or removing wastewater from industrial processes.
