Well Water Systems

What is the function of a submersible pump and pressure tank in a well water system?

 

The function of the submersible pump is to push the water from a sustainable water supply to the ground surface. Submersible pumps offer hydro efficiency as every gallon of water is fully utilized. It pumps more water faster for the power consumption. The submersible pump is installed underground inside a well casing, anywhere from 50 ft to 1200 ft underground.

Water pressure tanks should be sized to allow adequate water drawdown. This will prevent your water well pump from short cycling, which can shorten the life of the pump. Normal run time should be a minimum of 1 full minute between the well pump turning on and turning off.
