How to Make Water Pump

It’s been a long time I’m thinking about making a solar-powered water pump for my farm. I already have a 100 w solar panel, which I bought for making my off-grid system. Let’s make a water pump {solar powered)

It’s the perfect time to make a solar-powered water pump. Which type of water pump am I’m gonna make? I thought for a moment. Watched a few YouTube videos, referred to some blogs, and decided to make a Centrifugal pump. 

1. How to Make Centrifugal Water Pump

How do Centrifugal pumps work? Centrifugal pumps are hydraulically operated machines characterized by their ability to transmit energy to fluids (in particular to liquids) through the work of a field of centrifugal forces. Their main purpose is to transfer fluids through an increase in pressure.

Centrifugal pumps have different structures, but their operating principle and fluid dynamic characteristics are always the same.

2. How to Make Reciprocating Pump

Previously we made a centrifugal water pump. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to make a reciprocating pump. This can be used to pump any type of fluid to get positive displacement. First, watch the below video and get all the PVC fittings we need.

There are four components in a reciprocating pump. Piston, cylinder, valve and the crank-motor assembly.
