Submersible drainage pumps are used around the world both residentially and industrially for draining water and sewage. However, these pumps are prone to wear and clogging when the flows inward contain particles and air bubbles, and the combined effects of cavitation and erosion directly affect the performance of such pumps and degrade their efficiency. Therefore, it is essential to design a submersible pump that mitigates the adverse effects of cavitation and erosion. Reported here is an energy-efficient submersible drainage pump for use in emergency response. The combined cavitation–erosion effects are established in order to reduce their adverse impact on the pump, and how erosion wear affects the cavitation characteristics of the water in the pump is investigated. An experiment was conducted to verify the numerical results pump, and then, the influences of particle concentration and size on two-stage existing and altered model submersible pumps were analyzed using computational fluid dynamics. The results show that the performance of the altered model pump increased by 4.34%, with the cavitation–erosion effects reduced significantly. In addition, higher particle concentration induced higher erosion rates at both the leading and trailing edges of the impeller blades. Furthermore, the altered model significantly reduced the cavitation–erosion impact on the pump impeller blades compared to the existing model.
