Differences between sewage pumps and clean water pumps: What are the differences between sewage pumps and clean water pumps? To find out answers to such questions, it’s best to read the articles written by the editors at Nanjing Youfu Pump Industry. Believe that by reading these articles, you will be able to understand the differences between the two types of pumps. The difference between sewage pumps and fresh water pumps can be understood roughly from their names, but a detailed technical distinction requires specialized knowledge; the following points provide a detailed explanation of the differences between the two. 　　　 1. To prevent clogging, sewage pumps are designed with large flow channels, which naturally results in relatively low efficiency; as a result, their head pressure is generally not high. The flow channel of a clean water pump is smaller, and the clearance is also smaller, resulting in a relatively higher head. 　　　 2. To prevent entanglement, the impeller of a sewage pump is designed to be simpler than that of a clean water pump; it lacks a retaining ring but is equipped with serrated blades that can crush debris such as fabric scraps before pumping them out. The impeller of a clean water pump is more complex, but its efficiency is significantly higher than that of the sewage pump. 　　　 3. The common faults that can occur in sewage pumps are similar to those of ordinary centrifugal pumps; since they are used for pumping sewage, the impellers wear out more quickly. To prevent wear and corrosion, sewage pumps generally use mechanical seals with good wear resistance and strong corrosion resistance, along with O-rings, as sealing elements; such considerations are not necessary for clean water pumps. 　　　 In summary, we can easily understand why clean water pumps cannot be used for sewage disposal. Therefore, when choosing a water pump, it is necessary to pay special attention to the application scenario and field; different water pumps are suitable for different situations. Making the wrong choice will only result in losses for the company and also indicate a lack of professionalism. Nanjing Youfu Pump Industry specializes in the field of water pumps and water systems.
