-
The City of Ottawa Water Department (then Corporation of Ottawa Water Department) used the pump for urban water pumping; possibly waste water. - Function
-
Used to pump water by means of an electric motor. - Technical
-
The centrifugal pump works by taking advantage of the centrifugal forces created by rotating a liquid, in this case water, in an enclosed space. This action has a dual consequence allowing the pump to function properly. The centrifugal force causes the liquid to gain velocity as well as creates a vacuum in the centre of the pump, thus drawing more liquid in and feeding the system. - Area Notes
