Help...water pump questions!

SF,

We once rented a house in Romyen Village (just up the road from you). It was a single story house and tank & pump were configured the same as the picture I posted. Most of the time there was sufficient pressure from the main to feed water directly into the house without the use of the tank/pump . Whenever we experienced insufficient pressure or the main was turned off we switched to tank/pump.

The tank/pump is set up with shut off valves, this allows to run the system by either means. Meaning, once the tank is filled, switch off the feed to the tank and turn off power to the pump and switch on the valve the for main.




Sent you a PM.

Hi everyone,
I have well system,a pump drawing water to the raised tank and then gravity fed to the house.The problem was the low water pressure to the house. We then put in piping, bypassing the water tank,createing a direct flow from the pump to the house (just using tank water when the electric goes off by opening a valve in the outlet pipe from the tank) I now have water pressure in the house but the pump makes a constant clunking noise when a tap or shower is turned on and the water flow is not constant, like a quick stop, start flow. Also i noticed when watering the garden direct from the pump side tap there is no clunking noise from the pump . Any ideas folks

Thanks in advance,
cheers camps

generally clunking noise in my system is an air leak...
also your pump will pump out so many litres of water per second, it may be pumping more water than you are using out your tap, so the pump is choking itself if you know what I mean..

I want to thank all of you, especially the ones that PM'd me, for the comments and advice written on this thread. I believe that I have finally figured out now how my system is supposed to work, so I will make the necessary adjustments to my water usage routine to minimize the use of the pump. You guys are great! Udon Map Forum is awesome!!!!
