Electric Water Pump An electric water pump, Photo Credits: MotorTrendThe electric water pump is an elegant piece of machinery that allows water to be transferred from one place to another in the most efficient way possible. Among other applications, the pump's primary function is to boost water pressure from a head source at an elevation below it or aid in transferring water from surface water sources that would not be able to deliver sufficient water pressure as needed. Other features of the electric water pump:? More powerful motor? Highly engineered to minimize noise and vibration. Streamlined passages that reduce flow restrictions by 16% over mechanical pumps.? Multi-layer bearings designed to last more than 10 years/150,000 miles without servicing. Sealed housing helps protect electronics from contaminants for even longer life.More materials are used too. These pumps can be found in residential and commercial applications to industrial processes and agricultural irrigation. Their ubiquity is making them integral to contemporary water management.
