Question

What is the primary advantage of using a submersible pump over a jet pump in deep well applications?

• A. Higher efficiency due to direct water contact
• B. Reduced risk of cavitation
• C. Better suitability for shallow wells
• D. Lower initial cost

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Higher efficiency due to direct water contact

The primary advantage of using a submersible pump over a jet pump in deep well applications is higher efficiency due to direct water contact. Submersible pumps are placed directly in the water, which allows them to push water to the surface more efficiently than jet pumps, which have to pull water up, leading to energy losses and reduced efficiency.
