How To Choose A Water Pump For Your Home

How To Choose A Water Pump For Your Home In many
areas, a residential water pump is necessary at
home to have a steady flow of water for domestic
purposes. Whether you need a good pressure for a
shower, getting water from a borewell, or even
watering a lawn, a home water pump can make it
happen. But with so many types of domestic water
pumps available, it can be difficult to decide
which will be the best water pump for your
needs. Lets discuss how you can choose domestic
pumps and what factors you might need to
consider. Decide the Type of Pump You Need The
type of pump you go with depends on where the
water supply will be coming from and what kind
of output you need. These are the main types of
water pumps Submersible Pumps These can be
completely submerged in the water of a borewell
or an open well. Compressor Pumps These are
used to move the water where water yield is less
and can be used even in loose soil
areas. Self-Priming Regenerative Pumps Similar
to centrifugal pumps, these are also used to lift
the water but do not require priming. They can
be used for lifting water from a ground tank to
an overhead tank. Centrifugal Jet Pumps These
provide a steady and strong flow of water with
the water coming from underground. Depending on
the depth, you can get a centrifugal deep well
jet or a shallow well jet pump. These pumps can
lift water from gt 25 Feet depth. Inline
Circulation Pumps These pumps are used to
circulate hot or cold water within the
household. They are generally installed with a
water heater to deliver hot water to different
parts of the house. Booster Pumps When a
pressurised flow of water is required, for
example in lawns or bathrooms, this type of pump
is used. You can read about the types of pumps in
more detail here. Check the Specifications Once
you have decided the type of pump you want to
buy, you will have to look at the
specifications. This is an equally important part
as your home water pump should be capable of
getting a sufficient amount of water with the
pressure that you require. Here are some of the
specifications you should look at and what they
mean Discharge Rate Also known as the flow
rate, this is measured in litres per minute
(LPM). This will be the amount of water that is
pumped within a specific time. The higher it is,
the quicker it pumps. A range of 100-200 LPM is
usually sufficient for a household. Head Range
Head here refers to the discharge head the
vertical distance that you will be pumping the
water. The head range should fall within this
distance for the water pump to pump water
effectively. This is measured in meters
(m). Power This is the amount of electrical
power that will be consumed by the pump when in
use and it can be measured in kilowatt (kW) and
horsepower (HP). This ranges for 0.5-1.5 HP for
most pumps with some like inline circulation pump
requiring as little as 0.16 HP. This will vary
2
depending on the other specifications of the pump
but generally as the amount of water pumped and
head range increased, so does the power. Check
the Pump Warranty You should also check the
warranty available when you buy a domestic water
pump. Since they have a motor and their
construction can be complex, if something goes
wrong with your water pump, you should be able
to get in touch with a professional who can help
you. All Crompton domestic pumps come with a
