Water pumps are used to move water from a lower area to a higher area. Pumping involves transferring energy from one place to another. We can do this in many ways including using electricity, mechanical energy, or chemicals. A water pump may cost $50 – $250 in Namibia.

The cost of water pumps can vary depending on the type of pump and the amount of flow they create. We usually measure water pumping costs in units like horsepower per hour (HP/h), horsepower per minute (HP/min), or horsepower per cubic meter (HP/m³).

What Are the Different Water Pumps, and When Should You Use Them?

There are many types of water pumps, but the most common ones are submersible pumps and electric submersible pumps.

The type of pump you should use depends on the type of water source you have. For example, if you have a well, then a submersible pump is recommended. But if your water source is from a river or lake, then an electric submersible pump is best.

The main difference between these two types of pumps is that the electric one needs to be plugged into an outlet for power and has to be submerged in order for it to work. The other one can be used in any type of water source because it does not need power and can also be installed on land.

When Should You Replace Your Old Water Pump with a New One?

Replacing a pump can be a costly investment, so it is important to make sure you do it at the right time.

The best time to replace an old water pump or other appliance is when the manufacturer recommends replacing it. Manufacturers typically recommend replacement after 5-10 years of use.
