We use water in our homes daily and yet when asked how a water pump works, most people
will not be able to give a pleasing answer. When you live in a city or town, you don't have to worry
about how water gets to your house. In most cases, you don't even know the difference between the
sump pump and the sewage pump.
But that isn't the case when you're traveling a few miles away from the town. People living in
these areas often have a completely different water system to that of their neighbor next door. Now the
pump which is most usually either a submersible pump or a jet pump is at the heart of the entire water
network. It is important to fully understand how a water pump works when living in such areas, and the
several important components that make up it.
Water pumps can be divided into two broad categories; gas pumps and electric pumps. Electric-
powered well pumps only push the water a short distance downstream, and are not as efficient as the
gas pumps. The methods used by gas-powered water pumps to transfer water are also very different
from those used by the water pumps with electric power. Since they emit carbon monoxide, gas-
powered water pumps are not ideal for household use. Like irrigation, they are ideally suited for
outdoor use. Electric water pumps are favored for indoor use as they can be conveniently connected to
a power outlet. Submersible well pump, sump pump, and jet pump are among the most widely used
electric-powered water pumps.
So how does different water pump works? We will start with the most common water pump,
the jet pump, that is used in different homes. It is normally placed above the well and draws up water
from the well through a suction pipe. This means most of the work is done by atmospheric pressure,
with suction involved. The jet pump sucks the air from the pipe producing a vacuum that causes the pipe
to rise and fill it with water. The jet pump sucks the air from the pipe producing a vacuum that causes
the pipe to rise and fill it with water. For wells more than 25 ft deep, jet pumps are not ideal because
they are generally unable to support the weight of the water up the pipe.
Jet pumps are electric-powered, meaning that the centrifugal pump or impeller is driven by an
electric motor. The impeller typically works like a merry-go-round in the same way. It spins quickly thus
generating a strong centrifugal force that compresses all of the water tightly against the blade 's
exterior. The impeller moves at a rapid rate thus forcing water to move from the inside out. The faster
an impeller spins, of course, the more water it can pump, and vice-versa. It only moves in one direction
with an impeller and thus the water can be pushed in one way only.
If water leaves the jet, a partial vacuum is created which draws in even more water. Just behind
the jet is what's referred to as a Venture tube. It increases in diameter, which is used to increase the
pressure which slow the water down. It can be said that jet pumps use water to draw fuel, and thus
need to undergo priming. This process can be done easily, and is important after the first installation
particularly.
For submersible pump, it functions almost exactly like the jet pump but is fully submerged in the
well. Contrary to how the jet pump raises the water, the water pump, which is submersible, forces the
water out instead. It is long and cylindrical with the bottom half being a pump motor connected via
wires to a power source above ground. The top half is made of a collection of impellers, each stacked
separately using a diffuser. The pump motor transforms direct current from the ground power source
above into mechanical energy. The motor starts running when the electric current is switched on and
creates a magnetic field which in turn causes the rotor to spin. The rotor then spins the impellers so the
entire pumping system begins to work. The series of impellers drive water through a pipe to the
plumbing system that is installed beneath the ground and runs down to the basement. The well pipe
and the horizontal pipe that runs into the home are joined by a pitiless adapter.
The submersible water pumps are considered more efficient than the jet pumps and last
without servicing for longer. They supply more water, and can last for up to 25 years without any
problems. Nevertheless, servicing them after they encounter failures can be rather task and you will
need a professional 's help.
Then the sump pump. In homes the sump pump is used to pump water out of the basement. It
is normally a small pump mounted in a tank, which is installed at the basement's lowest level where
water first accumulates. It also includes a motor and impeller, and works just as the jet pump does. The
sump pump in the basement is connected to a socket which means it is also electrically powered. One
unique feature of the sump pump is however that it is automated. This means that once the water
reaches a certain level it automatically starts pumping, and it will stop as soon as the water reaches the
minimum. There is also an inspection valve for the sump pump that ensures that water only goes one
way, and that is out. The main function of this pump is to keep your basement dry and to help avoid
damage to your property by any kind of water. Therefore, it is critical that the water moves only one
way and never the other, because it can just flood your basement completely.
Last is the sewage pump, the sewage pump buys waste solids and liquids from point A to point B
and is moved. This is normally installed at the lowest possible drainage basin level and the waste is
moved to a septic tank or sewer system. Sewage pumps come in different sizes, and can either be
manual, automatic or dual. However, most people refer to them as submersible sewage pumps, since
they are submerged. Like the jet pumps, they are known as centrifugal pumps but with a special design
to ensure that solids can pass through without causing any clogs. They typically work similarly to all
other pumps with the motor rotating the impeller, pushing the water into the discharge pipe
afterwards.
The sewage pump is used in the same way as a sump pump to ensure that it prevents damage to
the basement from flooding. The advantage over the sump pump that the sewage pump has is that it
can pump solids up without clogging.
There are lot of water pump existing but these are some of the water pump commonly use in
our society, it is good thing to some knowledge on things that are not easily seen or on the things that
were not aware of because knowledge is power.
