Water pumps are found in almost every home and they are very useful devices. In today’s market, there is quite a variety of water pumps that Worthing stores offer covering different shapes and sizes, meant to suit everybody’s needs.
Purpose of the Water Pumps
* A water pump’s main task is to move water from one particular place to another for different motives. Depending on your home or building (size, age, plumbing equipment, location) you may require a different type of water pump.
Types of Water Pumps
* The most commonly used water pumps in Worthing region are sump pumps, well pumps and pressure tanks. There are certain buildings which do require even two types of water pumps in order to maintain a constant supply of running water.
Well Pumps
* Well pumps have the task of moving water from the underground to the surface towards the plumbing system, and then inside the house. The moment the consumers decide on buying a well pump they should consider how many sinks and bathrooms that supply of water will use. If the distance between the house itself and the well pump is too big then the well pump has to be endowed with high horsepower. Inside the well pump, there is a motor which spins a blade and creates a suction movement, thus drawing water into the piping that will take it towards a building’s pressure tank, and from there to the house itself.
Pressure Tanks
* Pressure tanks are usually placed inside of the house. Their main purpose is to regulate the pressure of the water the moment it is drawn inside a building. The changing of the seasons is known to affect the pressure of the water. Therefore, it is the tank’s duty to regulate water flow and to maintain a normal yet steady pressure of the water no matter whether it is raining, snowing or it is draught outside.
Sump Pumps
* Sump pumps are found in many buildings. Their main role is to gather all the water from basements. Usually, a bucket will be put below the floor level in the underground room and, when water starts to collect, the sump pump will start running and will take the water out of the building. There are also submersible sump pumps, placed under the water line and able to handle larger volumes of water than the sump pumps working at the floor-level. The only difference between the sump pumps and the submersible pumps is that the latter are placed outside the bucket where the water is collected.
