Turbine pumps have a high head and high discharge pressure for their size and speed. They are typically used for water or fluid extraction in well applications. Turbine pumps are used for agricultural applications such as irrigation, for pumping water in fire suppression systems, for groundwater remediation or for wastewater treatment. Some types of turbine pumps are used in residential applications, such as a liquid pump used to pump water from a drilled or dug well.

Turbine pumps are constructed of a bowl assembly, impellers, a motor adapter, a pump shaft and can be used in an above-ground or below-ground setting, depending on the application. A below-ground turbine pump or submersible pump is used for deep well pumping such as those used in mining applications. Vertical turbine pumps are also frequently used for raw water intake from deep wells or open pits and are typically used in municipal or commercial applications such as supplying water to public utilities. A vertical turbine pump is designed to fit in a line shaft and can provide above-ground discharge of water. Other vertical pumps may also be used for submersible applications.

Turbine pumps for residential applications include pumps for moving water from a well to the house or a sump pump which pumps water out of a basement in case of flooding. A well pump is differentiated by the volume of water it needs to pump or how deep the well is. Deep well turbine pumps are used in agricultural or industrial applications where the water level is too low to be handled by a centrifugal pump. A sump pump is designed to handle sewage and wastewater, and in industrial applications is frequently used to pump liquids that contain solids, such as slurries, liquid chemicals, or wastes from manufacturing processes. Sump pumps are fitted with special no-clog impellers with wide passages to allow for the movement of viscous liquids.
