Clear Water Pump FAQs
Clean & Clear Water Pump FAQs
Pumps for clean or potable water are generally constructed with materials suitable for clean water. Where required a WRAS Approval certificate may be needed
Sewage Pumps are not normally suitable for clean water applications due to construction materials. However it may be possible to use a standard specification for transferring the liquid.
Yes, a well pump can freeze, so check the operating and maintenance manual for information on the minimum and maximum operating temperature range.
Well pumps can overheat but cooling is normally provided by the water in the well the pump is submerged in, if you are unsure please speak to our sales department who can advise further.
Well pumps can get clogged, they are designed to handle small bits of grit etc. that may be present in the water in a well and not larger solids.
Yes it is possible to move your well pump if required but uninstalling and reinstalling the pump should only be done by a mechanically trained engineer. T-T Pumps has travelling site engineers as well as a workshop at our site that can help with this.
Well pumps do make noise when they run, however due to being down a well it is unlikely that this will be heard from ground level.
Well pumps are normally rated for coninuous operation, although always check the model specific datasheet to be sure.
There is no set period of time a well pump will last for, although a properly selected and maintained pump will often long outlast the manufacturer's warranty period. We can help with pump selections and servicing through our sales and service departments so please contact us by email or phone.
Your requirement for water and the flow of the well pump will determine the cycle of a well pump, up to and including continous operation. Our sales department can help with bespoke selections including cycle times so please contact us by email or phone.
Our well pumps use an electric motor to rotate the impeller and create centrifugal force that then moves the water from the well to the desired location.
