     When you turn the tap you set a series of actions in motion. To ensure adequate water pressure, well water is stored inside your building in a pressure tank. Normal water pressure is between 40 and 60 psi (pounds per square inch).

     As water continues to run, the volume of water in the pressure tank drops, which also lowers the water pressure.

     When the pressure drops below 40 psi a pressure switch activates the pumping system. The submersible pump pumps water into the pressure tank until normal pressure is reached and the pump automatically shuts off. A safety valve installed on the pressure tank is designed to release pressure should it exceed 75 psi.

     A submersible water pump is comprised of a series (usually 10) small impellers, stacked horizontally on top of each other. When activated, the impellers rotate moving the well water up the drop line and into the pressure tank. Because the pump operates electrically, wires must run down into the well and be connected to the pump. All wiring connections are permanently sealed to avoid voltage leaks and short circuits. A torque arrester and cable guards are installed above the pump to prevent wires from twisting and chafing during pump operation. The torque arrester extends the life of the pump by preventing voltage leaks and short circuits that would be caused if the wire coatings were compromised.

Pump Selection & Installation
Before Adams Electric & Plumbing recommends a pump, we will factor in:

How much water will be needed at peak demand
The well's yield potential in gallons per minute
Diameter of the well at the pumping level
Depth of ground water below the surface
Distance and elevation of the home above the well
Future needs, such as irrigation

Because Adams Electric & Plumbing provides well-to-faucet water systems by licensed, certified and experienced technicians, we can guarantee the performance of the system and its components.
Adams Electric & Plumbing installs complete systems. We use only high quality components - not the parts you can buy at your local discount retailer. The difference is that a pumping system installed by us is dependable, fully guaranteed and installed by our installation and repair staff.
