Pumps & Valves in Plumbing Systems

Pumps are used to move liquids and gases through the pipes. They are generally used to move water from the source, such as a well or municipal water system, to the storage tank or the fixtures and appliances in the home or business. Pumps are also used to prevent the pipes from being filled with too much water, which can cause them to burst.

There are two main types of pumps: submersible and non-submersible. Submersible pumps are mounted directly in the water source, such as a well or the municipal water system. They are designed to be submerged in water. Non-submersible pumps are mounted above the water source. They are designed to move water from one place to another.

The valves in your plumbing system control the flow of water to the fixtures and appliances. There are two main types of valves: gate and ball. Gate valves are designed to control the flow of water from the storage tank to the fixtures and appliances. Ball valves are designed to control the flow of water from the plumbing system to the fixtures and appliances.

Signs You Need Pump or Valve Service

Pumps and valves are designed to last a long time. However, like any other mechanical device, they can experience problems that require repairs. If you notice any of the following signs, it is a good idea to call for service.

Common indications that your pump or valve needs service include:

  • Leaking faucets: If you notice that your faucet is leaking, it could be a problem with the valve.
  • Water pooling on the floor: If the pump is not moving the water from the fixtures to the storage tank or the higher elevation, it could cause water to back up and leak onto the floor.
  • Strange sounds coming from the plumbing: A problem with the valve can cause the plumbing system to make strange sounds.
  • Low water pressure: If the water pressure is low, it could be a problem with the pump.

When to Replace a Pump or Valve

Eventually, your pump or valve will need to be replaced. There are a number of factors that can cause your pump or valve to fail, including:

  • Aging: Plumbing components have a limited lifespan. As they age, they are more likely to fail.
  • Harsh conditions: Valves and pumps are designed to withstand harsh conditions, such as pressure and water that is too hot or cold. However, if the conditions are too harsh, it can cause the valve or pump to fail.
  • Overuse: If your system is overused, it can cause your pump or valve to fail.
  • Physical damage: Physical damage, such as a broken impeller, can cause a pump to fail.
