A water well pump is a pump that is used in extracting water from a water well.
Deep well pumps extract groundwater from subterranean aquifers, offering a reliable source of water independent of municipal networks. These pumps, often submersible and powered by electricity, can access water reserves located much deeper than shallow wells, ensuring a consistent supply even during periods of drought.
They include different kinds of pumps, most of them submersible pumps:
Hand pump, manually operated
Injector, a jet-driven pump
Mechanical or rotary lobe pump requiring mechanical parts to pump water
Solar-powered water pump
Pump driven by air as used by the Amish
Pump driven by air as used in the Australian outback
Manual pumpless or hand pump wells requiring a human operator
The pump replaces the use of a bucket and pulley system to extract water.
