Profile of Vertical Turbine Pumps
Vertical turbine pumps are specially designed to move water from an underground well or reservoir. Water enters the pump through a bell-shaped part called the suction bell. From there it moves into the first stage impeller, which raises the water's velocity. Vertical turbine pumps are typically used in applications where a flooded suction cannot be maintained. These include applications with underground water sources or below-ground tanks with an above-ground pump room.
