Surface pumps during operation are not immersed in the pumped liquid medium - they are located on the surface of the earth, in the immediate vicinity of the water supply source. Most often, pumping devices of this type are used to pump out water from well sources, since the depth from which they can effectively pump out a liquid medium is no more than 10 meters.
A surface pump is also used for pumping water from a basement or cellar of a house, as well as for pumping a liquid medium from wells located on quicksands. Surface water pumps are easy to operate. To carry out maintenance of such devices, it is not necessary to remove them from the pumped medium. They are also distinguished by their versatility: they are equally successfully equipped with water supply and sewerage systems, as well as drainage systems and systems with which watering of green spaces is carried out on a personal plot.
