Surface pumps come in various types, each suited to specific applications and fluid handling requirements. The more common types include:

Centrifugal pumps are widely used in surface pumping applications due to their simple design and efficiency. These pumps operate by converting rotational kinetic energy into hydrodynamic energy. A rotating impeller inside the pump casing generates centrifugal force, which draws water into the center of the impeller and then forces it outward through the discharge pipe. Centrifugal pumps are ideal for applications requiring high flow rates, such as irrigation and municipal water supply.

Jet pumps are a type of surface pump that uses a combination of suction and pressure to move water. They are often used in situations where the water source is located at a significant depth, typically up to 25 feet. Jet pumps operate by creating a vacuum that draws water into the pump. A portion of the water is then recirculated back through a nozzle, increasing the pressure and lifting the water to the surface. Jet pumps are commonly used in residential water systems, especially in homes with shallow wells.
