Why professional pump control is important
Efficient irrigation is not only good for your garden, but also for your wallet. A professional pump control system allows you to start your well pump as required, thus saving water and energy. By using pressure switches or pump start relays, the pump is only activated when water is actually needed. This also increases the service life of the pump, as it does not have to operate constantly at full load. A pump control system therefore protects your pump from overloading and saves resources at the same time.
What methods of pump control are there?
There are various options for pump control to operate your well pump as required. In addition to the pressure switches and pump start relays already mentioned, there is also the option of frequency converters. These regulate the speed of the pump and adapt it to the current demand. However, these devices are usually more expensive to purchase than pressure switches or pump start relays. Another method is the use of float switches, which monitor the water level in the well and start the pump when required. However, these are less precise than pressure switches and can lead to problems if the water level fluctuates greatly.
How do I select the right pressure switch?
When selecting the right pressure switch for your well pump, you should pay attention to the technical data and variants. The maximum pressure that the switch can withstand is particularly important. This should at least correspond to the maximum pressure of your pump. There are also different versions of pressure switches, for example with adjustable switching pressure or with dry-running protection. Before buying, consider which functions are important for your irrigation system and select the appropriate switch accordingly.
