What advantage do multistage pumps provide?

Multistage pumps are designed to handle applications requiring higher pressures than single-stage pumps can provide. The main advantage of multistage pumps is their ability to increase pressure at each stage of the pump. Each impeller in a multistage setup adds to the total pressure developed, which allows the pump to move fluids effectively through systems that require lifting water from deep sources or delivering it over long distances.

This increased pressure capability is particularly valuable in water supply, irrigation, and industrial applications, where maintaining adequate pressure is critical for operational success. Each stage contributes to the total output pressure, making them suitable for high-pressure requirements without the need for excessively large power systems.

While other options present valuable characteristics often associated with pumps, they do not specifically highlight the core mechanism of multistage pumps, which is primarily their ability to increase pressure.
