Submersible borehole pumps are a type of submersible pump. They are centrifugal pumps driven by a submersible motor. As they usually draw in the fluid directly without a suction line, they must constantly be submerged in the fluid handled.

Submersible borehole pumps are designed as single-stage or multistage pumps which are rigidly coupled to the submersible motor. The motor can be arranged on top or underneath the pump, depending on the application.

They are employed as submersible borehole pumps for use in tank farms and cavern pumps, for example. Their most common application is that of a borehole pump Borehole pumps are more cost-efficient than deep-well turbine pumps, especially for large installation depths, as their rising mains have a simpler design.
