Other important things to keep in mind when choosing water pumps for your garden or home:
While buying a water pump every consumer should be aware of the various nooks and crannies to lookout for. The following are three important aspects to remember while buying your next water pump.
Rate of water flow– the water flow rate of a pump is measured in liters per minute. While buying a pump, one of the most important factors to keep in mind is that is what time will the water tank be full. Ideally, for a house, 100-200 liters per minute is more than enough power required for a pump. So if you have a 1000 liters water tank in your house, this pump can fill it up in about 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of pump you choose for.
Size of the inlet – This factor is also directly related with the time it will take to fill up your tank. A typical pump has an inlet size which varies from 1” – 5”. All centrifugal pumps work on the same principle. It sucks in water through the inlet valve and release it from the discharge valve. The greater the size of the inlet, the quicker the pump will transfer the water through it.
Head and pressure – This is perhaps the most important aspect to consider while buying a pump. Maximum head of a pump refers to the combination of maximum suction height and maximum pumping height. For example if the maximum head of a pump is 40 meters, then at 40 meters above the ground, the water flow rate will be zero.
