Pumps come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and have numerous uses; they generally involve moving fluid to a new location. The right water pump for your home depends on several factors, including how deep your well is. The well maintenance experts at Coolwater Drilling in Bremerton, WA can easily help you determine the best water pump for your needs, and install it as part of your new water system.

Check out what team members want you to know about the types of pumps available to help gauge which is right for you:

• Centrifugal Water Pumps: A centrifugal pump works with a rotating impeller to move water into the pump, while also pressurizing discharge flow. This pump works especially well on thin, fast-moving fluids. The pumps are commonly used in residential water systems, and they must be filled with liquid to operate correctly.
• Sump Pumps: A sump pump removes water that accumulates in basins around a home’s foundation. It comes in pedestal and submersible form, and is ideal if your home’s basement is vulnerable to flooding. The pedestal’s motor is installed above the water level, and the submersible’s motor is installed below. The pedestal version is noisier than the submersible; however, it is longer lasting.

• Jet Pumps: A jet pump provides the home with water from a well and requires little maintenance. The pumps are available in shallow and deep well form. Shallow jet pumps are best for depths of 25 feet or less. Deep well jet pumps are best for depths of 25 to 110 feet. A jet pump must contain water to function; the motor will likely burn out if the well is dry.
• Piston Pump: A piston pump relies on positive displacement to remove water from a deep or shallow well. Water that contains sand or gas is not a problem for this pump, as it features a high discharge rate. It also handles narrow wells without issue. However, piston pumps are more expensive than other pumps.
