No, pumps water only.
A submersible pump can only pump what it is submerged in and since there is no air under water......

What pumps water from wells?
A well pump.
What is a trash pump used for?
Trash pumps are meant to pump water as well as other debris and solids. There are several types of trash pumps including diaphragm and semi-trash pumps.
What is a submersible well pump used for?
A submersible well pump is a pump that is used for pumping water from wells. There are websites that offer submersible well pumps for sale if you need one.
Why does a water pump fail?
Water pumps in cars usually fail because the main bearing wears out. Well water pumps usually fail because the impeller wears out.
What are the steps in converting deep well water pump to shallow well water pump?
A deep well submersible pump can be simply placed into a shallow well and it will work. These pumps actually pump water directly and do not rely on suction. Simply cut your tube to desired length and place the deep pump in the shallow well. -NOTE- this does NOT work the other way - a shallow or jet pump is just that and can never work in a deep well.
Should your water storage tank be located close to your well which is one half mile from field to be irrigated or close to the field which has a twenty five foot lower elevation than well site?
What kind of pump are you using, are re pumping water, how many pumps and what size pump or pumps are you using?
How converb 120 to 230 volts well water pumps?
Use a transformer, although a new pump may be cheaper.
How do you use a water pressure pump?
There are many different ways to use a 'water pressure pump' . Any water pump will build up pressure, this is the basic principle of well pumps, and similar. Most are 'used' by a pressure switch which turns the pump on when pressure decreases to a certain point.
Can you replace a two pipe jet pump with a single pipe jet pump?
Yes you can if the water level from the inlet of the pump is less than 25 feet. That's the limit of a shallow well jet pump. It can lift water physically 25 feet vertically, no more. If the well casing diameter is three inch or larger you could also install a submersible pump.[url="http://www.pumpsandtanks.com/Pumps/jet_pumps.htm"]Jet Pumps[/url]
What causes well water to stop running?
On well water, there is sometimes a reservoir that needs to refill. So if water stopped coming out of your tap, normally you just have to wait till it refills. IF YOUR PUMP IS RUNNING & NO WATER YOU COULD HAVE A LEAK IN LINE FROM WELL TO PUMP.THE PUMP SHOULD PUMP UP PRESSURE & THEN LEAK BACK DOWN IN PRESSURE. I HAD THE VALVE GO BAD AT THE END OF LINE IN WELL & INSTEAD OF PULLING LINE FROM WELL, I INSTALLED A VALVE AT PUMP THAT LEAVES WATER FLOW FROM THE WELL, BUT DOES NOT ALLOW WATER TO LEAK BACK TO WELL. A SIMPLE FIX. FIRST, DID YOU TRY PRIMING THE PUMP BY FILLING WATER PUMP THROUGH THE PLUG ON THE PUMP & 2ND. ARE YOU SURE THE WELL IS NOT DRY. IF YOU PRIME THE PUMP WITH WATER & IT PUMPS NOW THE WELL WATER IS OK,BUT IF IT LEAKS DOWN & LOSES THE PRIME, THE FIX ABOVE WILL REMEDY THE PROBLEM.
Why are pumps placed at the bottom of water wells?
Pumps CAN suck water, but there is a limit to the height of the column of water they can draw up from the bottom of a well. This limit is based on the fact that water will boil at room temperature if you reduce the air pressure. In other words, the greater the height that pump has to draw water, the more likely it is to cavitate. The simple way around this is to locate the pump at the bottom of the well. A good example is a Condensate Extraction Pump in a Power Station. It has a long vertical shaft, and pumps the condensate from several metres below the Hotwell underneath the Condenser. Because the Condenser operates at a vacuum, the long shaft improves the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) of the Pump. For pumps located above the water level, a priming procedure is required to charge the pipe between the suction point and the pump. Such pumps are normally fitted with a foot valve to prevent the leg draining and thus losing prime.
How does a well work?
A well is basically a hole drilled deep into the ground until it reaches an aquifer, which is a body of rock that transmits water. Wells with electric pumps pump the water through pipes to it's destination.
