How does a domestic waterworks system function?
Water is drawn from a source, such as a well or cistern, separated from air in the pressure tank, and stored until it is withdrawn. The pressure control ensures that when the pressure in the pressure tank falls below a certain level, the pump starts up and rebuilds the target pressure. This allows small amounts of water to be drawn without the pump starting up every time.
A ZUWA domestic waterworks system generally consists of three components: a robust, powerful centrifugal pump, a pump control unit, and a pressure gauge. The centrifugal pump is self-priming and can be equipped with an electronic or mechanical pump control unit. Of course, we also offer matching pressure vessels.
What are the advantages of a domestic waterworks system?
With a domestic waterworks system from ZUWA, you can draw water from your well, rainwater cistern, private pond, or lake, thereby obtaining your service water free of charge. In addition, a domestic waterworks system can be used to increase the pressure for your service water. The size of the pressure tank should be selected according to the area of application and the number of consumers. If the domestic waterworks system is only used for water supply in the garden or outdoor area, a 12 or 24 liter pressure tank is sufficient. Our staff will be happy to advise you on finding the ideal setup for you and your purposes.
Where is it appropriate to use a domestic waterworks system?
A domestic waterworks system with a gray cast iron centrifugal pump is suitable for supplying water to outdoor facilities and for garden irrigation. For supplying water to sanitary facilities, we recommend a stainless steel domestic waterworks system.
How is a domestic waterworks system connected?
Connecting a domestic waterworks system is usually very simple and takes very little time. When connecting your domestic waterworks system, please note the following points:
- The domestic waterworks should be placed in a frost-free and dry location.
- There should be a power connection for the domestic waterworks at the place of use.
- The water pipe should reach the operating point of the domestic waterworks.
- Clarify whether you want to use the water only in the house or garden, or in both areas.
- From what depth will the water be drawn?
- To what height must the water be transported?
