How it works:

They use various mechanisms to create pressure and move water, such as:

• Centrifugal force: This is the most common type, where a rotating impeller throws water outwards, creating pressure.
• Positive displacement: These pumps use mechanical means to trap and displace a fixed volume of water, such as piston pumps or diaphragm pumps.

Types :

• Submersible pumps: These are placed underwater and are commonly used for drawing water from wells or deep tanks.
