Hot Water Pump

There are many kinds of water pumps but the most popular are surface pumps or jet pumps and submersible pumps. Surface pumps are used for shallow wells while submersible pumps are used for wells with depth more than 20 feet.

What are the differences between these two kinds of pumps? Aside from the place where they are placed, there are many other differences. Knowing this will help you select the kind of pump that you need. Whether you need it as replacement or for a new installation, it pays to research a little on the two.

A surface pump is put on the ground near the well or in the basement of the house. It is connected to the storage tank where water that comes out is stored. This kind of pump operates through suction which means that it uses air pressure to draw water. The more powerful the pump is, the more air pressure it can generate. A pump that has 40psi (measure of air pressure) is more powerful than a pump with 20 psi. It can be powered by fuel or by solar energy. Some surface pumps have the jet assembly near the motor while some have the jet assembly submerged in water.

A submersible pump is a pump where the motor, impeller, jet assembly is encased in a cylindrical casing and submerged into the water. A tiny hole is made for the electrical wiring to run through going up so it can be plugged into an electrical outlet. This is recommended for wells deeper than 25 feet.

We have to run our water for 5 minutes to get hot water. Which type of circulating pump is best to use.?

A circulating pump won’t work for you if you don’t have a hot water circuit. Basically, your hot water piping needs to be in a loop configuration so that the hot water actually circulates. In most homes, the pipes just run from the water heater straight to the spigot – there is no way to the get the water to circulate.

This is why you usually only see hot water circulating pumps in hotels, hospitals or high-rise buildings. These buildings will have hot water loops for the water to circulate through.

I’m not sure that this answers your question, but hopefully it gets you started.
