If your home has a conventional private well, it is likely that you will experience instances of low water pressure. The worst part is that this inadequate water pressure will likely occur at the most inconvenient time. Imagine getting up for work in the morning, hopping in the shower, and the water pressure is so weak you can’t get the shampoo out of your hair. Not the best way to start your morning, right? There are a few causes behind low well water pressure but all your problems can be solved with a constant pressure system.
Conventional Systems Can’t Hack It
The biggest drawback with conventional private well systems is that they run at a fixed speed. The standard pump operates on a 40-60 PSI pressure switch. It will not turn on until it reaches 40 PSI and will shut off once it reaches 60 PSI. Because of this, you can experience fluctuations in your well water pressure, especially if multiple water sources are being used. So if your dishwasher is running, your sprinklers are on and you’re trying to take a shower all at the same time, the water pressure will be disappointing, to say the least.
Constant Pressure Systems Make Life Easier
With a constant pressure system, you will never have to worry about your well water pressure again. The constant pressure system supports high volume needs so that you can operate multiple water sources at the same time without losing quality pressure. With its variable speed monitor, the pump can adjust to an increase or decrease in water demand. This allows you to save on energy consumption and costs because your pump will only be running when it is needed.
You have two options when it comes to the installation of your constant pressure system. You can have the system installed on your existing water tank you can have new, smaller constant pressure tank installed to save some space around the house. Either way, your system can easily be expanded to meet future needs. After installation is complete, you’ll be left with a low noise system that gives you high-quality well water pressure
Types of Constant Pressure Systems
There are two types of constant pressure systems that you can go with. The first is a pressure regulated system. This consists of a standard pump, motor and pressure switch in conjunction with a pressure regulating valve equipped with a bypass. This ensures that no more water pressure is given than what is needed at any time. The other type of constant pressure system is the variable speed system. This system consists of a three phase motor with pressure feedback. The pump speed will vary to maintain the pressure that is demanded.
Quality Well Water Pressure
With easy installation and a long list of benefits, there is no reason not to get a constant pressure system to maintain your well water pressure. Whether there is one or multiple water sources being operated, your well water pressure will remain consistently strong for all your needs.
