To push water uphill it will require pressure and if water goes downhill then you will gain pressure. An easy calculation to know is that for every 10 feet of rise you lose -4.33 psi. For every 10 feet of … Continue reading →

If your foot valve is leaking your pump may lose its prime between starts.Debris blocking the suction strainer or foot valve is the most common cause. A blockage in the intake line can cause the water in the pump casing … Continue reading →

The sleeve bucket is the simplest and cheapest way to get water from your well without electricity. Also known as torpedo or cylinder buckets, the modern-day “well bucket is simply a long, skinny bucket that can be lowered into the … Continue reading →

A submersible pump pushes water to the surface by converting rotary energy into kinetic energy into pressure energy. This is done by the water being pulled into the pump: first in the intake, where the rotation of the impeller pushes … Continue reading →

Priming well pumps is the process of manually creating a pressure vacuum through which water can be pulled from the well and directed through your water lines. Most often, priming a well pump will only need to be done when … Continue reading →

How do you unblock an airlock? The first way to clear an airlock, involves attaching a hose pipe to the hot and cold taps at a sink. Then, turn the cold tap on so that the water flows through the … Continue reading →

The four most common flow control methods of pumps are throttling, bypassing, on-off control and variable speed drive (VSD) control. These are illustrated in Figure 1. The relative power consumption of the different control methods can be estimated from the … Continue reading →

A REVERSE rotation pump rotates the opposite direction of the crankshaft. Water pump pulleys running on the INSIDE surface of the belt indicate a STANDARD ROTATION water pump. Water pump pulleys running on the OUTSIDE surface of the belt indicate … Continue reading →

The Dangers of Letting Centrifugal Pump Dry: Pump gland & bearing damage due to overheating. Shaft misalignment. Seal ring damage. Wear ring damage. Impeller damage. What is the disadvantages of centrifugal pump compared with reciprocating pump? Centrifugal pump which is … Continue reading →

Centrifugal pump The key difference between such compressors and pumps is that the compressor working fluid is a gas (compressible) and the pump working fluid is liquid (incompressible). Again, the engineering methods used to design a centrifugal pump are the … Continue reading →
