Iphampu yephayiphi ngokuvamile iqukethe izingxenye ezimbalwa: injini, isinciphisi, iphampu eyi-centrifugal, namapayipi. Lezi zingxenye zingenziwa ngezinto ezihlukahlukene ukuze zivumelane nemidiya ehlukene kanye nezindawo zokusebenza.
Injini, amandla okushayela ephampu yephayiphi, ngokuvamile yakhiwa ngezinsimbi ezifana nensimbi nethusi. Isinciphisi senziwe ngezinto eziphakeme-ezinamandla njengensimbi ye-alloy ukuze imelane nemithwalo emikhulu ye-axial. Amaphampu ase-Centrifugal ngokuvamile akhiwa ngensimbi engagqwali, amapulasitiki obunjiniyela, nezinto ezikwazi ukumelana nokugqwala{3}}. Amapayipi nawo angenziwa ngezinto ezahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi i-PVC, insimbi ekhonjiwe, nensimbi.
