A request for a replacement Well pump was received, due to the current pump had over heated and burnt out.

Discussion first centred on how big the Well was and discovered it was 1.2 metres in diameter and 2 .1 metres deep. The existing pump “being a submerged pump” was actually not submerged due to the fact that three properties were connected to the Well and all had fitted very large holding tanks. The well had been emptied due to all properties filling their holding tanks at the same time and during warmer weather the Well had not recovered sufficiently to cover the pump.

A pump fitted with a float arm was supplied the Pedrollo NKm2/3. This will prevent the pump from burning out if the Well water level is depleted again as the pump will stop running when float arm drops to the pre-set minimum level and will only restart again when there is a sufficient amount of water in the well.

A customer contacted us as they had recently discovered a well on their property and they wanted to know what pumps and water treatment equipment would be needed to utilise this as potable water for their house.

We advised that they would need a Peak Plus pump package which consists of a submersible well pump to supply the water and a pump controller to automate the operation of the pump on pressure drop (opening a tap). Along with this they needed a complete single filter water kit, and a UV sterilisation Unit to make the water suitable for drinking as well as a large pressure vessel within the property to reduce the number of times the pump would need to start up.

The customer followed our advise and purchased all the necessary items, they now have clean drinking water at their disposal as were very pleased with the result.
