With the dry season in full swing, a domestic water pump is necessary at home to have a steady flow of water for your essential daily water consumption activities including washing the dishes, taking a shower or even doing laundry.
Here are five tips when selecting a water pump for your home: 220v Submersible Water Pump
Pump capacity or rated power, is measured in Horse Power (HP), and refers to the electric power required by a pump to extract water.
When trying to determine the required pump capacity, you should take into consideration the size of your home and how much water you will need. Is your home one, two or more storeys? How many family members are in your household? How many bathrooms and faucets do you have? These are a few questions that will assist you with selecting a water pump with adequate capacity and power.
For instance, a 0.75 HP (60L/min) Pedrollo water pump is suitable for a flat residence with 2.5 bathrooms whereas a 1 HP (70L/min) Pedrollo water pump is appropriate for a two storey home with 3 bathrooms.
A pump’s flow rate is measured in litres per minute (L/min) and represents its efficiency in pumping water over a period of time.
To extract water in a short timeframe, it is advisable to choose a pump with a higher flow rate.
Some water pumps are noisier than others while some pumps may have a longer lifespan.
Do your research to ensure your pump meets the requirements for your home. Pedrollo water pumps are fully manufactured in Italy, unlike other brands, which have components made in China.
Pedrollo water pumps are synonymous with quality, excellence and reliability. Pedrollo is a leading electric pump manufacturer, which has a presence in over 160 countries worldwide.
3. Size of the inlet pipe
This factor is directly related to the time it will take to fill up your water tank. The greater the size of the inlet, the quicker the pump will transfer more water volume through it.
Check the warranty information for the selected pump from your preferred supplier.
At FT Farfan Limited, the authorized distributor of Pedrollo water pumps, they offer a two-year manufacturer’s warranty on all of their residential and commercial pumps.
In addition, some measures that can be taken to extend the life of your water pump include providing moisture-free, dry and secure housing, ensuring that the water pump is clear of plants or other debris, and only allowing qualified technicians to service your water pump.
There are some measures that can be used to help with conserving energy when choosing a water pump.
Firstly, ensure the pump capacity is adequate and not oversized for your needs. Also, ensuring any leaks are fixed quickly will prevent the pump from working unnecessarily and draining electricity. Pedrollo water pumps are engineered on the basis of maximising performance with particular attention to energy savings.
Pedrollo water pumps are available at FT Farfan retail outlets and leading dealers nationwide. Visit them today or contact them at 612-4FTF (4383) to learn more about their wide range of Pedrollo water pumps.
