Rural home owners need to access water from a well and to do this they need to use water pumps Truro NS. There are three basic types of well pumps including the submersible pump, the jet pump and the centrifugal pump. Each type of pump has a specific application and is designed to perform in specific circumstances. The submersible pump is for deep wells and fits in a small shaft, usually between three and four inches wide. These pumps will pump a large volume of water from a deep well and may have a power range of between 1/3 horsepower to 7.5 horsepower.
Centrifugal pumps have a single pipe that is inserted into the borehole of the well. This type of pump is utilized for shallow wells because it generates enough suction to lift water from as deep as 25 feet below ground level. Jet pumps are either for deep wells or for shallow wells and are available in two varieties. The jet pump for a shallow well connects to a well borehole water column and the jet pump sits on the ground surface. Jet pumps are easier to prime than a centrifugal pump because all it requires is that the pump housing be filled with water and then turned on.
