What You Should Know About Well Pump Systems in Michigan

Our team designs, installs, and repairs all types of well pumping systems around Michigan. We have all needed components of these pump systems in-house and use only the highest quality products to ensure we can maintain an efficient and reliable service. We offer conventional pump systems for new well projects, along with constant pressure systems. Read below for a basic overview of what a well pump system we’d install for you would include, and how it all works to supply you with water. 

Conventional Michigan Pump Systems

Our conventional pump systems include a pressure tank (which is usually installed in your crawlspace or basement) and a submersible pump that are conjoined using an electrical wire and water line. The pressure tank houses the air bladder, which is inside a steel tank. This allows the pump system to build pressure as the pump pushes water into the tank. This action compresses the trapped air. There’s a pressure switch that detects when the appropriate cut-off pressure is achieved, which causes the pump to switch off.

REQUEST AN ESTIMATE

When you open the spigot, the compressed air will push the water out of the tank and will continue to provide this until the cut-on pressure is reached and the pump turns back on. There are several factors we consider to determine the proper size of the submersible pump system, which includes the depth, yield of the water supply, pumping water level, distance from the well to the pressure tank, and the standing water level.

The Constant Pressure Water System

A constant pressure water system is designed to create continuous flow of water as you demand it. The water usage demands will fluctuate based on the variegate needs. In some cases, such as irrigation systems, larger households, and commercial buildings, the conventional pump system won’t be able to keep with demand. The variable speed technology that is used can improve the process by helping to eliminate the pressure fluctuations as they occur. The controllers will monitor the water demand and adjust the pump’s speed as needed without system pressure changes. This lets you use the water simultaneously, such as taking a shower and running the dishwasher.

Water Well Pump Types

When you call us for water well pump installation, you will find we offer several types of systems. Each one provides certain advantages and our team can talk to you about your needs to determine which well pump is right for your needs. The basic options that we offer are listed below. You don’t need to make a decision – that’s what we are here for. Let the professionals help you. 

Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pumps will only be an option for wells that are shallow – this means no more than 25 feet deep. This depth is considered the right range to help generate the suction force needed to lift up the water to the surface. There is just one pipe inserted into the borehole of the well and into the actual water column. Since these pumps are much smaller than the other options, they don’t cost as much, and they are much easier to maintain.

Submersible Pumps

A submersible pump is considered a popular option for any well pump and they can be used in shallow and deep well operations. These are designed as underwater units. They feature watertight properties that ensure there won’t be any electrical contact with the source of water, and these systems eliminate the possibility of water leaks. The higher-powered suction pumps will allow it to transport water for further distances, which makes it a smart option for deeper wells.

Jet Pumps

There are two versions of this pump – the shallow well jet pump and the deep well jet pump. The shallow well version shares the same function and properties of the submersible pump and the suction length isn’t more than 25 feet. The mechanical systems are much simpler than the counterpart, which means that very little maintenance is needed. If you want to reduce the costs of your well pump, this is the right version to choose.

A deep well jet pump is more powerful than the pumps mentioned above. With this version, there are two pipes inside the well borehole. One of the pipes is used for suction and the other will return the water to operate the jet units. The jet units will be installed inside the well borehole below the water level. The pump will then force water down the main pipe and up through the secondary pipe. This lifts the water from up to 50 feet below. It’s also possible to upgrade the pumps to lift water up from as much as 100 feet below.

Hand Pumps

Modern hand pumps are uniquely designed to provide you with more water, with much less required effort than the hand pumps used in the past. With modern hand pumps, you can feel confident that you will have a water source, even if the power goes out or a natural disaster occurs.
