In this final blog discussing water types and pump station design, we will look at how sources of clean water can carry specific design implications. Clean water is in many respects the easiest water to Electric Drinking Water Pump. By definition, clean water is free from grit and solids and has no unusual water chemistry, eliminating a lot of the major concerns for engineering a pump station. However, there can be differences in the design of a pump station to suit some applications better than others.

When people think of clean water, their first thought is probably potable water (drinking water). Potable water is pumped in various ways to reach any structure within a municipal water district. Booster pump stations can become necessary as a water district expands. For new developments at the periphery of a water district, water pressure can weaken and become unreliable, so booster pump stations increase the water pressure in the outlying infrastructure.

There are a lot of different methods for designing a booster pump station. They can be designed to pump from a collection well, to pump “in line” with the water main, or to pump from a skid-mounted system. Typically, these choices are predetermined by the design standards of a water district. These standards are determined by the district’s familiarity with a configuration, cost of the configuration, required maintenance, and reliability of the system. Design standards are valuable for booster pump stations because of the large number of possible design configurations. Potable water can be pumped efficiently by almost any pump type depending on the requirements for flow and pressure.

Clean water, when thinking in terms of pump station design, is not limited to potable water. Raw water is another common type of clean water handled by pump stations. Raw water can be used for irrigation, industrial processes, and potable water after it’s treated. Depending on the specific application, there are many ways that raw water can be handled by a pump station. Since it is still clean water, raw water can also be handled efficiently by most pump types.
