Constant Pressure Systems
Water pressure problems are a thing of the past! With our constant-pressure systems and constant pressure well pump, you can change speed to meet demand without worrying about low water levels in your area.
The variable frequency drive controller automatically monitors your household demand for water, accelerating or slowing down the constant well pump depending on what you need. This means that wherever there is a faucet in sight – whether it be at home or work-you’ll always have reliable constant pressure with just one press of a button!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a constant pressure system?
To ensure steady water pressure throughout the home, a constant pressure system is installed. It is an advanced solution that is unlike the traditional system- cycle on and off, but it uses the variable frequency drive technology. This advanced solution provides consistent water pressure and ensures there are no fluctuations. It helps to have a constant water flow at all fixtures- taps and appliances in the home.
How does a constant pressure well pump work?
Using a variable frequency drive technology controller, which is effective in continuously monitoring the water pressure, the constant pressure well pump effectively meets the household demand. With the installation of a constant-pressure pump, the tap gets water at a preset level as the pump adjusts the speed. When there is a decrease in demand, the pump slows down and does not shut off completely. This is an effective solution in eliminating both pressure drops and surges compared to a traditional cycling system.
What are the benefits of constant pressure systems?
The benefits of the constant pressure system are that it provides steady water pressure throughout the house and eliminates fluctuations when there is simultaneous water usage happening in the house. Benefits include a reduction in energy consumption by almost 20 to 30%. This extends the pump’s lifespan because there is reduced cycling. The homes experience consistent performance even when you are running multiple appliances or when there is peak household water usage.
Do constant pressure systems save energy?
The constant pressure system is modern technology that helps to reduce energy consumption by 20-30% compared to traditional well pump systems. Because of variable speed operation, it is about using the energy that is needed to meet the current water demand, rather than running at full capacity every time it starts. This results in a lowering of the electricity bill and improved and efficient operation.
Can I upgrade my existing well to a constant pressure well pump?
Most of the wells could be upgraded to have a constant-pressure well pump technology, but they need to meet certain criteria. It needs to provide adequate water flow as well as your electrical system, which needs to support the technology of the variable frequency drive controller. A professional assessment can help to determine the compatibility and if there are necessary upgrades required for accommodating the new constant-pressure well pump system tech.
What maintenance do constant pressure systems require?
As compared to the traditional setups, the constant pressure systems require minimal maintenance, which makes them economical in the long run. Annual maintenance needs yearly inspections of electrical connections, verifies the pressure sensors and ensures the right calibrations, and confirms all controller settings. Reduced cycling in constant-pressure well pump systems means there will be less wear on the system’s components and fewer maintenance requirements.
How long do constant pressure well pump systems last?
With proper maintenance, the constant-pressure well pump systems typically last 15-20 years, and often they last longer than any of the traditional cycling systems. There is reduced mechanical stress because of the variable speed operation system, which enables extending equipment lifespan and provides excellent long-term value for all homeowners.
Are constant pressure systems suitable for Canadian homes?
Yes. Constant pressure systems are well-suited for Canadian homes and are reliably made to suit climate conditions. The continuous operations help in the reduction of freezing risks during winters, and ensure adequate water flow for all home water needs. It works effectively with well water conditions and integrates with other water treatment components that are essentially used in Canadian homes.
