Automatic pump control

Description

Automatic pump control is a system that automatically turns a pump on and off to maintain a desired water pressure. This is in contrast to manual pump control, where the user manually turns the pump on and off.

Automatic pump control systems typically use a pressure switch to monitor the water pressure in a system. When the water pressure drops below a certain level, the pressure switch turns the pump on. When the water pressure rises above a certain level, the pressure switch turns the pump off.

Automatic pump control systems have a number of advantages over manual pump control. They can help to prevent water hammer, which is a loud noise that can occur when a pump is turned on or off suddenly. They can also help to extend the life of the pump by preventing it from running dry or overheating. Additionally, automatic pump control systems can save energy by only running the pump when necessary.

There are a number of different types of automatic pump control systems available. Some systems are simple and only have a pressure switch. Other systems are more complex and have features such as timers, flow sensors, and remote controls.

The type of automatic pump control system that you choose will depend on the specific needs of your application. If you have a simple system with a single pump, a basic pressure switch may be all you need. However, if you have a complex system with multiple pumps, you may need a more sophisticated system with features such as timers and flow sensors.

Key benefits of using automatic pump control:

• Prevents water hammer
• Extends the life of the pump
• Saves energy
• Ease of use
• Flexibility
• Reliability
