Submersible Water Pumps – Efficient Water Transfer Solutions

What Is a Submersible Water Pump?

A submersible water pump is a pump designed to operate while fully submerged in water. Unlike surface pumps, these units push water upwards from below, making them more efficient for aquaculture, farming, marine, and household applications.


Types of Submersible Water Pumps at MFT

MFT stocks a wide selection of submersible pumps, available in different wattages depending on the application:

  • 45W Pumps: Compact and ideal for aquariums, bait tanks, and small ponds.

  • 60W Pumps: Mid-sized, suitable for hatcheries, fountains, and hydroponic setups.

  • 85W Pumps: Perfect for medium aquaculture ponds, bilge pumping, and irrigation.

  • 105W Pumps: Heavy-duty performance for commercial ponds, fish storage tanks, and marine circulation systems.

Each pump is built with durability, energy efficiency, and long service life in mind.
