The submersible pump generally has a hermetically sealed motor which is then close-coupled to a pump body.  When the entire device is submerged, then water can be pumped.  Unlike other high elevation pumps which are often prone to pump cavitation, the submersible utility pump does not fall victim to this due to the fact there is no difference between the pump and fluid surface.  The work of a submersible pump is to push the liquid to the surface which differs from the jet pumps which have to pull the water up.

There are many different uses for submersible pumps such as drainage, sewage as well as general industrial pumping and slurry pumping.  They are also used in your home aquariums and are also typically used to pump borehole water and water from wells.  Electrical submersible pumps are used extensively in the oil industry.  They are able to work at different flow rates and depths which make them extremely versatile and have both surface components as well as sub-surface components.

Features of submersible utility pumps include being manufactured from corrosion resistant thermoplastic or having an epoxy coated cast aluminum housing in order to protect the motor whilst submerged.  The power of the generator start from 1/4 horsepower and have varying lengths of hose.  Also take note of whether the models you are looking for have a removable inlet screen for easy of cleaning and if they are manual or automatic.  Finally, ensure that the device has adequate gallons per head evacuation abilities prior to making your purchase.
