How to choose a submersible pump?

When choosing a submersible pump, it is worth considering the following:

• voltage - drainage models can operate from a single- and three-phase network;
• appointment - for hot water, special equipment is required, for water temperatures up to + 35 ... 40 degrees, a standard one will be enough;
• performance - the volume that will have to be removed is taken into account;
• pollution level - not all drainage pumps are able to handle large solids or thick masses;
• pump type - if it is supposed to take clean water, it is worth giving preference to drainage or borehole pumps, and when creating an irrigation system in summer cottages - special garden ones.
