5 Parts of the OKAYPARTS Water Pump and Their Functions

Getting to know the parts of the water pump and its functions is an important thing for you to know, in order that you can understand how it works.，so that you can understand how it works and handle sales, after-sales, and maintenance with ease in the future. The water pump machine functions as a suction device and pushes water from the source.

The way it works is centered on the rotating impeller component. The impeller will suck in water at a certain depth and push it out to be forwarded to the water faucet. The process of forming the water pumping cycle is produced from the parts of the water pumping machine. Then, what are the components of the water pump engine? Come on, let's check them out below.

Water Pump Parts and Their Functions

In general, the water pump component consists of a propulsion engine and a pump tube component. Both components have parts that have their respective functions. The following are the parts of the water pump.

1. Water Pump House

The water pump house is where the water pumping cycle occurs. This component is in the form of a narrow chamber which is equipped with a suction line and a water outlet. So, the water that will come out through the hose will pass through the water pump house first.

2. Impellers

The impeller is a water pump component in the form of a round disc with fan blades. This component then produces suction and thrust for the water pump. The water pumping cycle will occur when this component is working properly. In the after-sales problems of water pumps, the breakage or fracture of impellers are relatively easy to encounter, so the quality of impellers is related to the overall service life of water pumps.

3. Mechanical Seals

This component has a spring and is responsible for applying pressure. In water pump machines, this mechanical seal functions as a cover for the impeller shaft line with the water pump housing. So, when the impeller shaft rotates, water cannot flow out. The problem of water leakage is the biggest pain point of water pumps, and the water seal is the key to whether there is water leakage or not. A good water seal will greatly reduce the probability of water leakage. Under normal circumstances, we will find that the same specification of water seal performs differently on different pumps and in different regions. So our technical department made adjustments to specific models based on market feedback over the years, categorizing and adjusting ideas to achieve the best results.

4. Check Valve In

Check valve in is part of the water pump which functions to close the suction channel. Water will not come out with this check valve in component, especially when the water pump engine is not running.

The check valve in position is in the compression chamber and the end of the pipe. The purpose of the valve in component is placed in that area so that the water pump room is always filled with water and to prevent air from entering the room.

In addition, this component will control the pressure of the water pump to avoid the risk of damage to the engine.

5. Inlets and Outlets

There is also a water pump section in the pump housing component called the inlet and outlet. The inlet component is the part where water enters the pump house. While the outlet functions to remove water that has been sucked by the impeller to the water reservoir.
