Submersible Pumps for Bores, Tanks, Drainage and Water Transfer

Submersible Pumps are designed to operate while fully or partly submerged, making them useful for moving water from bores, wells, tanks, sumps, pits and drainage areas. They are commonly used for groundwater supply, irrigation, household water, stormwater, drainage and wastewater applications where the pump needs to work directly within the water source.

Choosing the Right Submersible Pump

The right submersible pump depends on the water source, required flow, total head, water quality and how the system will be used. Bore pumps are designed for deeper groundwater applications, while drainage and sump pumps suit pits, stormwater and general dewatering. Wastewater models are built for more demanding conditions where solids or dirty water may be present.

Common Submersible Pump Types and Components

This category can include bore pumps, drainage pumps, sump pumps, wastewater pumps and related control equipment. Depending on the installation, the system may also need float switches, pump controllers, starter boxes, check valves, cables, pipework and suitable fittings. Different submersible pump types are designed around different water depths, solids handling and pressure requirements.

Compatibility with Your Water System

Compatibility is important across the whole Submersible Pump setup. The pump needs to suit the available power supply, discharge pipe size, operating depth and required flow and head. Control equipment, floats, cables and protection devices should also match the pump and application. For bore systems, pump diameter and bore size are particularly important.

Avoid Poor Flow, Blockages and Pump Damage

Choosing the wrong pump can lead to low flow, frequent cycling, blockages, overheating or premature wear. A drainage pump used in the wrong water conditions may struggle with solids, while an undersized bore pump may not provide enough pressure for irrigation or household use.

Frequently asked questions

Submersible Pumps are designed to operate in water, making them suitable for bores, wells, tanks, sumps, drainage and wastewater applications. The right type depends on the water source, required lift, flow and whether the pump is handling clean or dirty water.

The current range includes submersible options from brands such as Grundfos, Lowara, Franklin, Davey and Onga.

A Submersible Pump operates below the water level, while a surface pump sits outside the water source and draws water through a suction line.

Submersible pumps are often a better fit for deeper water sources such as bores or for pits and sumps where the pump needs to sit directly in the water. Surface pumps may suit tanks and shallower applications where suction conditions are manageable.

Yes. Bore pumps are one of the main types of Submersible Pumps. They are designed to operate down inside a bore and lift groundwater to irrigation systems, tanks or other supply points.

The Irrigation Hub’s bore range includes Grundfos SP, SQ and SQE models, Lowara EGS pumps and Franklin submersible bore pumps, so bore diameter, depth, flow and required head all need to be checked before choosing.

Start with the water source, operating depth, required flow, total head and water quality. A bore pump needs different specifications from a sump or wastewater pump, even though both operate underwater.

You should also check the power supply, discharge pipe size and whether the installation needs a controller, starter box or float switch.

Some do. The control equipment depends on the pump model, motor and application. Certain pumps may use a pressure controller, starter box, control panel or other protection equipment to manage starting, stopping and motor protection.

The Irrigation Hub stocks pump controllers and starter boxes from brands including Grundfos, Franklin, Lowara, DAB and Bianco.
