First, what’s a water pump? It’s a device used to transport liquid, pressurize the liquid, and make the liquid from the first liquid position to the high liquid position. The first water pump constructed by the Chinese is called” water windmill”. latterly, around 300 BC, the emergence of the” Archimedes screw pump” is more analogous to ultramodern pumps. In addition, the following introductory knowledge points are what you must understand.
1. Centrifugal pump

Centrifugal pump is the most common type of pump. In simple terms, the working principle of centrifugal pump is to rotate the impeller to drive the liquid under the action of centrifugal force. The liquid leaves the impeller and enters the volute. As the inflow passage of the volute gradationally expands, the fluid haste slows down, and the pressure rises continuously, and eventually it’s discharged through the conduit.
2. Impeller
The impeller is one of the main factors in the water pump, and it’s the core element that transmits mechanical energy to the liquid. The impeller is substantially divided into three types open type,semi-open type and closed type. The material conditions for the impeller are high, wear resistance is needed, and the manufacturing process is good.

3. Cavitation

Cavitation is the conformation of numerous bitsy recesses when the liquid connections the liquid under high- speed inflow and pressure, and gradationally expands into grottoes when serious, and cavitation frequently occurs in the impeller and pump covering.

2, the pump can’t normal water into the same can’t be water, check whether the water bay or check stopcock is blocked or stuck, pumping pipe if there’s a leak will also affect the water into the water.
3, the pump internal corridor of the wear and tear or connection out, check the pump and motor coupling wear and tear, loose and impeller is worn.

Problem two ：
1 、 Check the power force as described over, including connectors, switches, fuses,etc.
2. Check whether the impeller in the pump is jammed by foreign objects
3. A burnt motor will also affect the launch of the pump.

Problem three the water affair is big for a while and small for a while
1. still, the lack of depth down the well may beget this problem, If the pump is a submersible pump.
2. The inflow rate of the pump is too high and needs to be replaced with a suitable pump.

Power surges or electrical disturbances can impact the operation of electric fire pumps. Proper surge protection measures, such as surge suppressors and lightning protection, should be in place to safeguard the electrical components of the fire pump system.

A typical firefighting pump system consists of the pump itself, intake and discharge hoses, nozzles, strainers or filters to prevent debris from entering the pump, and sometimes additional accessories like foam injection systems for enhanced fire suppression capabilities.
