2. Hand pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

   The depth from which a hand pump will suck is limited by atmospheric pressure to an operating depth of less than 7 meters. [5] The height to which a hand pump will lift is governed by the ability of the pump and the operator to lift the weight in the delivery pipe.

3. Float switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_switch

   A pedestal sump pump with a float switch. A float switch is a type of level sensor, a device used to detect the level of liquid within a tank. The switch may be used to control a pump, as an indicator, an alarm, or to control other devices. One type of float switch uses a mercury switch inside a hinged float.

4. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   For such pumps, the position of the pump and intake tubing should be lower than the suction point so it is primed by gravity; otherwise the pump should be manually filled with liquid or a secondary pump should be used until all air is removed from the suction line and the pump casing. Liquid ring pumps have a dedicated intake for the priming ...

5. Water pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

   The spiral pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. Based on the same principle as the Archimedean screw, it consists of a rotating tube or plane (screw) to move a liquid. Unlike the Archimedean screw, it can pump while horizontal. The Archimedean screw must be tilted at an angle.

6. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

   Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...

7. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   A hydraulic ram pump, ram pump, or hydram is a cyclic water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at one " hydraulic head " (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate.
