Water pressure is frequently an issue when a home has a private well. Often, standard or conventional pumps in water supply systems can’t keep up with the demands of the household, especially when the family is using multiple faucets or appliances at once. Weak water pressure is annoying, but you can solve the problem and gain several advantages by switching to a constant pressure pump.

4 Benefits of a Constant Pressure Pump Over a Conventional Pump

1. Use Multiple Appliances

With a conventional pump, you can likely only use one appliance or faucet at a time without losing water pressure. The water supply system can’t provide enough water to allow someone to shower while someone else washes the dishes, for instance. A continuous pressure pump ensures that the system meets demand without fluctuations. 

2. Protect Your Plumbing

When the water pressure fluctuates between low and high pressure, it can strain your plumbing, ultimately causing the pipes to leak or burst. When the pressure remains stable, your plumbing is less likely to sustain damage.

3. Other Systems Work Better

Inadequate or fluctuating water pressure reduces the efficiency of different systems, including water treatment and irrigation systems. Water treatment systems, for instance, need precise pressure to soften or filter water, while irrigation needs the pressure to distribute throughout a lawn properly. A constant pressure pump ensures these systems work, reducing overall costs and the likelihood of damage.

4. Improved Efficiency 

Appliances that use water, like the dishwasher and washing machine, often work harder when there isn't adequate water pressure. Sometimes, you might find that your clothing or dishes don’t get clean, requiring you to run another cycle. This inefficiency increases the costs to run those machines, as well as the costs of the pump, which must work harder to meet the demand. A continuous pump reduces energy costs by allowing appliances to work more efficiently and lowers the volume of water that needs to be pumped.
