electric pumps

Powered fluid transporters

Electric pumps are devices that use electric motors to move liquids or gases through pipes or systems.

They range from small aquarium pumps to industrial units handling thousands of gallons.

Common types include sump pumps for removing water from basements, well pumps for drawing groundwater, and fuel pumps in vehicles: The electric pump kicks on automatically when the water level rises.
