well pumps

Groundwater lifting devices

Well pumps are mechanical devices that draw water from underground wells to the surface.

Submersible pumps sit deep in the well itself, while jet pumps remain above ground and use suction.

The choice depends on well depth and water table levels.

The well pump runs every time we turn on a faucet.
