Compressor Pumpsets

What is a Compressor Pumpsets & How does it work?

Compressor pumps are pumps which utilizes air to push water from the borewell to the surface. The Compressor Pump consists of the pump connected to a air hose which goes down to the bottom connecting to a air distributor. The air distributor is connected to a perforated delivery pipe which allows water to come in. It works on the idea that when compressed air pumped into the bore and distributed into the perforated delivery pipe, the very fine air bubbles mix with the water thus lowering their density and lifting the air water mixture through the delivery pipe to the surface. (Caution: Compressor Pumpsets should not be connected to horizontal pipes as it may create large air pockets resulting water hammering.)
