What is a constant pressure system and how is it different from a conventional pump system?

February 10, 2015 By

Conventional well pump systems for a household consist of a submersible pump (jet pumps are now considered outdated technology in our area) located within the well and a large well tank (approximately 2’ diameter by 2’ to 5’ high) that is sized based on the flow rate of the pump.  A pressure switch controls the pump by turning it on when the pressure in the system drops to a preset low point and turning it off when pumping restores the system to a preset high point.  Some pressure fluctuation is thus unavoidable in the water system.  Conversely, a constant pressure solid-state electrical control panel causes the pump impellers to spin slower when a small amount of water is needed and faster as more water is needed, while maintaining a constant pressure.  This constant pressure design produces “city water” like pressure.  Furthermore, it utilizes a small, wall mounted, space-saving well tank (approximately 1’ by 1’).  This design eliminates short cycling malfunctions that sometimes occur with conventional systems and also is moderately more energy efficient.
