Mistakes to Avoid When Installing a Water Pressure Pump

Avoid pump sizing, placement, earthing and controller mistakes that can reduce pressure-pump performance or life.

A pressure pump can underperform even when it is new if sizing, pipework, electrical protection or placement are not right.

Installation mistakes to avoid

  1. Choosing a pump without checking head, flow rate and building height.
  2. Mounting the pump on an unstable base that increases vibration and noise.
  3. Skipping proper earthing or suitable circuit protection.
  4. Using pipe sizes that restrict the intended flow.
  5. Running the pump dry or without a suitable controller where one is needed.
