A submersible water pump operates beneath the earth's surface. Submersible Water Pump pushes water to the surface. Most submersible pumps are long cylinders that are about 3 to 5 inches' diameter and 2 to 4 feet long. Submersible Water Pumps have a hermetically sealed motor that is close-coupled to the body of the water pump. Having a hermetically sealed motor prevents the water from getting inside the pump's motor and causing a short circuit. Other components of a submersible water pump are the cable, which is connected to the motor and a pipe that transports the water to the surface. Water is then stored in water storage tanks constructed nearby Submersible water pump tube well.

Submersible Water Pump projects are best suitable to run systems for water pumping in remote areas or where electricity has frequent outage.

The Afridev Pump is a conventional lever action hand pump. It is designed for heavy-duty use, serving communities of up to 300 persons. The Afridev Pump is fully corrosion resistant, easy to install and has excellent potential for community-based maintenance. The configuration includes an “open top” cylinder: the piston can be removed from the cylinder without dismantling the rising main. The foot valve is retractable with a fishing tool.

This pump is also known as the Deep-well piston hand pump. Community hand pumps are ideal for villages and households in which surface sources are common, so only a basic pump suffices for communities trying to meet their water requirements. Suction hand pumps are economical, easy to install and maintain. Maintenance is done at the village level without the need for specialist parts. The pumps are made from cast iron.
