Factors to choose domestic pump
A pump is required for any kind of residential building that has groundwater aquifers or bore-wells. Choosing a pump for your everyday needs is never an easy choice, there are several factors to consider before choosing a pump that is just right for you. You would need a pump that is both efficient and ergonomic to use. Some of the factors to consider are:
Inlet size : The inlet size varies from 1-6 inches, the bigger the size of the inlet valve, the more force and speed is produced at the output valve. Water received at the inlet valve is discharged at the outlet.
Flow rate : The flow rate determines the speed at which water flows through a pump. It is measured in litres per minute, one that churns out 100-200 litres per minute is ideal for most home or domestic use.
Maximum Head and pressure : This refers to the maximum height to which a pump can pump water vertically. A pump should usually be able to pump some meters higher than the maximum height required to pump the water.
Maximum load of the pump : When your house has multiple floors or is an apartment complex with multiple houses, you will need a bigger capacity pump.
Quality of water : The degree and extent of impurities must be factored while choosing the right kind of pump for your house or apartment complex.
The cost of labor : The cost of operation and workforce expended on operating the pump should be minimal, to justify the investment.
Maintenance : The pump should be maintenance-free so as ensure an efficient and hassle-free life of the pump.
