Dear All
What are the possible mechanical damages for a centrifugal submersible pump operating in a condition with lesser than the minimum water level, daily 2 hours approximately possibly for two-three months continuously

Bearing failure
motor over heating
Why?

I am in a situation now where i have to run 2-3 submersible pump in such a situation. i plan to install a float switch to solve this issue .
RE: Submersible pump
But it really isn't a good idea if they weren't designed for it.

RE: Submersible pump
Vortexing due to low water level, so it will start to suck air and could stop pumping
Motor overheating. Most submersibles are designed so that the water keeps the motor cool. Some are designed with internal recirculation systems so that the pumped water cools the motor, many are not.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

15-meter head and approximately 27 LPS flow
RE: Submersible pump
What says the manual? Did you check with vendor?
Probably not the best idea!
My 2 cents
