Koshin Water Pumps

In many areas, a residential water pump is necessary at home to have a steady flow of water for domestic purposes. Whether you need a good pressure for a shower, getting water from a borewell, or even watering a lawn, a home water pump can make it happen. But with so many types of domestic water pumps available, it can be difficult to decide which will be the best water pump for your needs.

Let’s discuss how you can choose domestic pumps and what factors you might need to consider with this buying guide on water pumps.

What are Water Pumps?

Water pumps are mechanical devices designed to move water from one place to another. They are an integral part of residential water systems, enabling the distribution of water for domestic purposes such as drinking, cleaning, bathing, and more. Water pumps are primarily used to increase water pressure or transfer water from a low to a higher elevation. Water pumps have the following key components:

• Casing: It is the outer body that protects the internal parts of the pumps.
• Impeller: It generates centrifugal force to move water within the pump.
• Seals and bearings: Seals prevent leaks while bearings support moving parts for smooth operation.
• Motor: This is the power source that drives the pump’s operation. It is available in different power sources including electric, petrol or solar powered.

How Does a Water Pump Work?

In households, majorly a centrifugal water pump is used. It operates on an electric motor to spin an impeller, a rotating part equipped with vanes or blades. As the impeller spins, it creates centrifugal force which pushes water outwards from the centre of the pump towards its edges. This action creates low pressure at the centre allowing water from the source (like a well or a reservoir) to flow into the pump. The spinning impeller then accelerates the water by increasing its speed and pressure. This pressurised water is then pushed through the pump’s outlet or discharge port. Then the water travels through pipes or hoses to reach its intended destination, whether it is the faucet, sprinkler, or other water outlets within the home.
