Water
Supply from a well, borehole or tank
With
the advent of water meters, many people are looking at the possibilities
of using water from a well on their property, as a way of saving
money. For others who may live a long way from the nearest water
main, extracting water from a borehole or filling a tank from
a stream or well is the only way to supply water for their house
or farm. For all of these applications, a pump is required.
In
order to correctly size a pump for you, you will need to gather
some information for us – it is important that your measurements
are accurate (please don’t guess!)
Please tell us the following:
Are you replacing an existing worn out pump? If yes please provide
make, model, voltage, flow-rate & head (these are all usually
found on the nameplate on the top or side of the motor.)
If you have a borehole or a well, what is its diameter and depth?
Is there any existing pipe-work? What size is the internal diameter
of the pipe?
How far is it from the well/tank/borehole to the house?
Is the ground flat or does it rise between the water source and
the house? If the ground rises, what is the difference in height
between the water source and the house?
What do you want the pump to do? Eg fill a tank, irrigate a garden,
pressurise a whole house etc
Do you have an electrical supply near to where the pump will be
?
Do you know anything about the water quality?
It
is much easier for us to best help you if we can talk things through
on the phone, so please call us on 0845 130 3300.
With all of this information, we should then be able to suggest
a suitable pump.
