Potable Water Pump Systems

Potable and Non-Potable Pump Systems

Potable and non-potable pump systems are used to transport water, but they serve different purposes based on the type of water being handled.

Potable Water Pump Systems:

  • These systems are designed to handle and distribute clean, safe drinking water that meets health and safety standards.
  • Common applications include supplying drinking water in residential, commercial, or municipal settings.
  • They are typically constructed with materials that prevent contamination, ensuring water remains safe for human consumption.

Non-potable Water Pump Systems:

  • These pumps move water that is not intended for human consumption, such as wastewater, irrigation water, or water used for industrial processes.
  • Non-potable systems are often used for sewage treatment, stormwater management, agricultural irrigation, or industrial cooling systems.
  • These pumps may not require the same stringent materials and safety features as potable systems, but they are designed to handle debris or contaminants in the water.
  • Both types of pump systems are critical for managing water supply and usage, but their design and materials are tailored to their specific applications.

Booster pump systems:

A booster pump acts as an intermediary between the water source and endpoints like taps, faucets, and showers.

A booster pump takes in water from the source and pressurizes it to get the desired pressure at the endpoints.

Generally, booster pumps are not the only devices used to move water within a system.

Sump pumps:

A sump pump is a device used to remove water that accumulates in a sump pit, commonly found in the basements of homes or buildings.

The primary function of a sump pump is to prevent flooding and water damage by pumping excess water away from the building and discharging it to a safe location, such as a storm drain or dry well.

Sump pumps are commonly used in areas prone to basement flooding or where the water table is higher than the foundation.

Pump Control and protection:

We provide a comprehensive range of solutions designed to control and protect your pump system.

Our solutions feature:

  • Audible Alarms: These alarms alert you when an issue arises, allowing for immediate attention to prevent further damage or downtime.
  • Enhanced Pump Protection: Safeguard your pump from potential hazards, ensuring optimal performance and extended lifespan.
  • Visual Indicators: Easily monitor the condition of your pump system through visual signals, enabling you to stay informed about its operational status at all times.

With our control and protection solutions, you can maximize the efficiency and longevity of your pump system while minimizing maintenance needs and unplanned outages.

Retention tank pump:

A Retention tank collects stormwater for later use for example: to irrigate the garden, wash the car or flush the toilet. Our trade partners like Davies, Lowara, Bromic and Travoli have a pump for every application.

Rain Harvest pump systems:

Rain Harvest pump systems are designed to efficiently collect, store, and redistribute rainwater for various uses such as irrigation, toilet flushing, or even potable water in some cases. These systems integrate pumps to transfer the collected rainwater from storage tanks or cisterns to where it is needed. They help reduce water bills, conserve water resources, and promote sustainable water usage.

  • Submersible or Surface Pumps: The pump moves the rainwater from the storage tank to its point of use (e.g., irrigation system, toilets, or household appliances). Submersible pumps are installed inside the tank, while surface pumps are located outside.
  • Pressure Pump: Maintains consistent water pressure for irrigation systems, household appliances, or faucets, ensuring reliable water flow.
  • Control and Monitoring Systems: Pressure Switches: Automatically turn the pump on and off depending on water demand.
  • Float Switches: Monitor water levels in the storage tank and control the pump’s operation accordingly, preventing the pump from running dry.

By installing a Rain Harvest Pump System, you can efficiently utilize natural resources, reduce your environmental footprint, and create a sustainable water supply for everyday use.

Potable and Non-Potable Pump Repair

We assess every situation independently to accurately diagnose the root cause of the problem for maintenance and repairs. There are a number of reasons why a pump may not be working, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll need to buy a new one.

If parts are available and the pump is still in workable condition a repair might be the right option to get your system running smoothly again.

The Wet Sparky LTD has the experience and expertise to fault-find your pump and water system at your home to give you the correct solution for your problem. We can offer you upgrade options as well if we see that it is needed.
