潛水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵是一種專用(yong)于(yu)從地下(xia)(xia)深處提取(qu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)源(yuan)的設備。使用(yong)過程中整個設備都(dou)沉入水(shui)(shui)(shui)底進(jin)行工(gong)作，然后把地下(xia)(xia)的水(shui)(shui)(shui)源(yuan)向地表進(jin)行提取(qu)。潛水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵的用(yong)途非常廣泛，用(yong)于(yu)溫(wen)泉洗浴，還可(ke)適(shi)用(yong)于(yu)從深井中提取(qu)地下(xia)(xia)水(shui)(shui)(shui)，也可(ke)用(yong)于(yu)河流、水(shui)(shui)(shui)庫(ku)、水(shui)(shui)(shui)渠等(deng)提水(shui)(shui)(shui)工(gong)程。主(zhu)要用(yong)于(yu)農田灌溉(gai)及高山區人畜(chu)用(yong)水(shui)(shui)(shui)，亦可(ke)供中央空(kong)調冷卻、熱泵機組、冷泵機組、城市、工(gong)廠、鐵(tie)路、礦山、工(gong)地排水(shui)(shui)(shui)使用(yong)。

根據需求(qiu)不同，潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)也有很多(duo)分類(lei)，有深(shen)(shen)井潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)、潛(qian)(qian)污(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)、潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)軸(zhou)流(liu)泵(beng)、大型(xing)潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)電泵(beng)、熱(re)水(shui)(shui)(shui)潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)、不銹(xiu)鋼潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)、潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)螺旋離心泵(beng)等(deng)等(deng)。有一些潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)只能抽(chou)送水(shui)(shui)(shui)質(zhi)(zhi)清澈(che)的(de)(de)水(shui)(shui)(shui)，不可含有雜(za)物(wu)，或者雜(za)物(wu)顆粒很小，如深(shen)(shen)井潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)、熱(re)水(shui)(shui)(shui)潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)等(deng)。有一些潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)就可以(yi)(yi)抽(chou)送泥水(shui)(shui)(shui)、雨(yu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)之類(lei)的(de)(de)，如潛(qian)(qian)污(wu)水(shui)(shui)(shui)泵(beng)，但是對顆粒物(wu)大小要求(qiu)比較嚴格，太(tai)大的(de)(de)抽(chou)不了。潛(qian)(qian)水(shui)(shui)(shui)螺旋離心泵(beng)因為其特(te)有的(de)(de)結構(gou)特(te)質(zhi)(zhi)，可以(yi)(yi)抽(chou)送的(de)(de)物(wu)質(zhi)(zhi)就比較大，可以(yi)(yi)抽(chou)送活魚(yu)、土豆、蘋果(guo)等(deng)等(deng)。
