Pumping system

Positioning of the pump

The pump must normally be placed 15 feet away from the bottom of the well in order to benefit fully from the reserve of water supplied by the well. Each foot of the well represents approximately one gallon of reserve water.

Electrical hook-up

It is essential for the pump to be outfitted with a 4-ply wire to enable access to an electrical control box to be installed inside the residence. This will facilitate and reduce reparation costs (up to 80%) as well as reduce disturbances caused by removing the pump from the well each time there is a breakage.

Constant pressure

While Puits artésien Fréchette's standard system is of excellent quality, we propose, to our clients, a system of superior quality to ensure more stability in terms of flow and pressure when replenishing the water supply.
This system includes the following:

• A stainless steel, 1 horsepower, high quality submersible pump with adjustable speeds
• Hi-Tech stainless steel pressure reservoir
• Constant pressure device
• 140 Mesh pre-filtration to protect the taps and electrical goods
• Large sediment filter cartridge
• Water analyzer to test for bacteria

This constant pressure system (CPS), uses a submersible pump that is lodged at the bottom of the well as well as a pressurized reservoir and with the advantage of not being subjected to any pressure fluctuation. The CPS uses a computerized surveillance system that monitors the pressure in the water lines and regulates the speed of the pump's motor accordingly as opposed to the original system that uses an on/off cycle that depends on the variation in pressure. If you use just one tap, the pump will slow down to supply the right amount necessary. On the other hand, if you are using the shower, the pump will accelerate in order to adjust accordingly.
