Pumps are mechanical devices that move fluids by mechanical action. There are two main types of pumps: positive displacement pumps which use mechanical means to move a fixed volume of fluid with each cycle, and dynamic head pumps which use centrifugal force to move fluid and can move large volumes at lower pressures. Positive displacement pumps are better for low flow, high pressure applications while dynamic head pumps are better suited for high flow, lower pressure uses.
