Today's homeowners expect to be able to instantly access water whenever they turn on a tap or shower, with good levels of pressure, and a consistent hot temperature. In order to achieve this, a domestic water pump is sometimes necessary. Using a water pump means that whether it's time to turn on the garden hose, run a bath, or simply wash the dishes, there will be a reliable source of water flowing from any and all outlets throughout the property.

Today's homeowners expect to be able to instantly access water whenever they turn on a tap or shower, with good levels of pressure, and a consistent hot temperature. In order to achieve this, a domestic water pump is sometimes necessary. Using a water pump means that whether it's time to turn on the garden hose, run a bath, or simply wash the dishes, there will be a reliable source of water flowing from any and all outlets throughout the property.
An Introduction To Domestic Water Pumps
Whilst the earliest water pumping devices were operated by hand, modern domestic water pumps are powered by electricity. Most domestic water pumps use a motor that works at 2900rpm, although different models of water pumps may have different power requirements. A typical domestic water pump will feature a motor that powers an "impeller" and works to push the water out of a discharge port. Along with diffuser pathways, the impeller element is essential for ensuring that water is moved along at a sufficiently high speed, so that it can reach all of the property's water outlets. This vital component comprises blades (similar to those seen on electrical fans), and the number and size of the pump's impellers also have a role to play in determining the rate of flow and overall water pressure achieved.
Many domestic water pumps will also feature an automatic pressure controller, which allows the pump to operate only when there is a demand for water, thereby helping to save energy. And, in order to avoid the risk of damage or burnout to the pump motor should the water supply fail or run out, most modern domestic water pumps also incorporate "run dry" functionality that will automatically shut off the pump if no water supply is present.
