What is the Right Kind of Pump for You? Our Mississauga Plumbers Tell You Below.
Find the best pump for your home. When you’re in Mississauga or a town, you won’t need to worry about finding your own water source. Most cities and towns have their own water system and supply water directly to your home. However, if you live in a remote area or on a slightly isolated property, you need to draw water from a well and direct it towards your home. For this, you will need a well. At John The Plumber, we’ve put together a small guide on buying the right pumps that will help you out.
Types of Pumps
There are three types of pumps you can use for drawing water from wells. You need to choose a pump depending on the size of the well. Here are you choices:
- Shallow Well Pump – If you live in an area with a high water table, like Mississauga, you probably have a shallow well. The shallow well pump is a good option for wells that are no deeper than 25ft. These pumps are not submersible and are usually placed outside the well. This pump is effective for small wells, but you might require a booster to increase the PSI, which would ensure that you get great water pressure in your house.
- Deep Well Pumps – These pumps are often used in areas with low water tables. The wells are usually deep, from anywhere between 90ft to 300ft. You need a lot of power to draw water from such depth. This pump is submersible and is placed inside the well.
- Convertible Jet Well Pumps – This particular pump is good for areas where the water table frequently fluctuates. They can operate between 0 and 25ft with a shallow jet pump and between 25 and 90ft with an ejector assembly. The ejector or the jet portion of the pump is used to draw water from deeper portions of the well when the water table is low. The power of the motor increases during this time as the pump uses vacuum to draw water from the well.
