Water Supply Pumping System

These pump stations may be a part of these other structures.

Water supply pumping system. Main pumping stations which supply water to the distribution system will be located near the water treatment facility or a potable water storage facility and will pump directly into the piping system. Frustrated by the options on the market at the time and the lack of customer support available to cottagers shopping for water pumps he perfected his own winter water system which he then patented and turned into a. Pumps that lift surface water and move it to a nearby treatment plant are called low lift pumps. At the station the water is pumped into the system and the pressure is modulated based on the slope.

These move large volumes of water at relatively low discharge pressures. This is shown in figure 1 for the two alternative suction arrangements. The total static head therefore depends on the site conditions between the suction and delivery. Pumping systems design nyangasi 03 14 12 page 3 of 15 a total static head the total static head hts in the pumping system is the water level difference between the suction and delivery reservoirs.

Surface water and groundwater are both important sources for community water supply needs. This article covers the requirements factors of selection and types of pumps in the water supply system. Water supply system water supply system pumps. The system in figure 2 is a typical domestic water supply system that takes it s water from a shallow well 25 feet down max using an end suction centrifugal pump.

Pumps have evolved into an endless variety having different sizes types and applications. The heart pumps blood through the arteries veins and capillaries to supply oxygen to all part of the body. Although approximately 98 percent of liquid fresh water exists as groundwater much of it occurs very deep. Figure 2 for more details on the construction of jet pumps see this article.

Pumps can also be used as a booster in a pipeline network system. Pumps which pump directly into transmission lines. Many kinds of pumps are used in distribution systems. This arrangement is made to compensate for the differences in water levels.

A water supply system is analogous to the human circulatory system. A pumping station is used in a water distribution system for efficient and reliable transportation and dissemination of water from one site to another. Pumps that discharge treated water into arterial mains are called high lift pumps. A water pump supplies water through primary secondary and distributor water mains to supply water to consumers and for fire.

Jet pumps are mounted above the well either in the home or in a well house and draw the water up from the well through suction see single drop jet pump system diagram on next page.
