Submersible pump systems have certain limits in terms of underwater operating depth and pressure endurance. These limits may vary depending on the design of the pump, the material it is made of and operating conditions. But in general the following factors are taken into account:
Underwater Operating Depth: Most submersible pumps can be used underwater up to a certain operating depth. This depth depends on the design of the pump, the density of the water and its pressure resistance. Standard submersible pumps can generally operate up to 20 meters underwater. However, pumps specially designed or made for deep water applications can go deeper.
Pressure Resistance: The pressure that submersible pumps encounter when operating under water varies depending on the design of the pump and the material it is made of. The motor and other components inside the pump must be resistant to the pressure of the water. Pressure resistance is determined depending on the depth of the pump and the density of the water. Generally, submersible pumps are designed and manufactured to operate under a certain pressure.
