Barnhart Pump Co. water well pump company Colorado Franklin Electric pump

Water well pump systems for home use:

Submersible pumps are installed inside a well to pump water to the surface and then to a pressure tank.

Jet pumps are installed above ground, drawing water to the surface through a vacuum process. Jet pump systems are typically used only in shallow wells and cistern applications.

Pressure components for well pump systems:

Pressure tanks

A pressure tank is a reservoir that maintains a preset air charge and gives the well pump a cushion to build pressure against. The tank stores a small amount of water that is pushed out by the preset air charge when there is a call for water. This allows the use of water without the well pump system turning on every time a sink is used or a toilet flushed. After most of the water is pushed out of the tank, a pressure switch turns the pump on to rebuild the pressure in the tank.

Pressure switches

A pressure switch is a mechanical device that turns well the pump system on and off according to the preset pressure settings. For most standard systems, the switch turns the pump on at 40 psi and then turns the pump off when the pressure reaches 60 psi.

A constant pressure system with a variable frequency drive is another pressure switch option with many benefits, including more consistent pressure and extended pump life span.

Well pump options

Booster pumps

Pressure booster pumps operate at a higher pressure than standard pumps and provide solutions for low city water pressure, gravity fed water tanks and cisterns, or extended pipe lines. This type of well pump system can be utilized for both household use and irrigation. Booster pumps are controlled by a typical pressure switch, magnetic contactor, or by the latest technology in variable frequency drives.

Solar pumps

Solar pumps are an efficient, cost-effective way to provide water when power isn’t available or when you want to stay off-grid. We sell and install solar well pump systems by Grundfos and Lorentz to fit a wide range of applications. We can scale a system to accommodate your needs . We can even scale a well pump system to accommodate your needs, whether it be for an off-grid residence or for watering livestock.

Hand pumps

Water hand pumps are a basic way to provide water when power is unavailable and demand is low. Hand pumps provide a critical backup system if you experience a loss of power or if the primary electric pump fails. In the past, it has been difficult and potentially expensive to add a hand pump to a well pump system that is equipped with an electric submersible pump.

Sump pumps

Keeping water out of a basement or well pit is of utmost importance. Water well repair service can be costly if a leak occurs or if rising ground water presents a problem. We sell and offer well sump pump installations to handle many different applications including sumps, float controls, and water level alarms.
