The constant pressure pumping system is the most common option for selecting a water well pump
In your conventional well pump system, you have probably experienced poor water pressure when your water supply needs increase. Supplying water at the same time often means dishwashers, sprinklers, showers or faucets stop supplying the water you need! How do you solve this? Simply install a Franklin Electric’s SubDrive Utility™.
Constant water pressure means you get consistent pressure. As your water consumption increases, pump performance automatically adjusts to meet your needs and maintain steady pressure. The user-friendly control unit indicates how the pump is performing and warns you of any faults. With a Franklin Electric’s SubDrive Utility™, water pressure is maintained even if your family is showering, washing the car and watering the lawn at the same time. All of your water supply needs are answered with a Franklin Electric’s SubDrive Utility™ Constant Pressure System.

“He was so respectful of the plants around the area he would be working. I was even able to move a couple before he got started.
One minute we had water the next we didn’t. I called you guys and that same day a technician was here and the new well pump and pressure tank was installed. Thank you!” -S.

Conventional Well Pump Systems
System Benefits:
- A larger tank model produces longer cycles
- Overall length of the pumping cycles being determined by the varying size of tank which you need
- The pump not running while you are consuming water
- Due to its “on” or “off” cycles, helps to conserve water and avoid unnecessary or wasteful usage.
These units operate at only two speeds, on and off. A pressurized switch controls the conventional pump system, turning the unit on when a certain pressure level is reached, and likewise, shutting it off once the necessary level is reached.

We’re working to provide clean water to people across the globe.

Residential Water Well Pump System Sizing
A properly designed residential water supply system should deliver water at the desired quantity, quality, and pressure to any outlet on the system during periods of heaviest use. To accomplish this, the peak demand for the home is determined and the well and pump are sized to meet or exceed the demand. If local geological conditions prohibit the development of a water supply with quantity to meet the demand, additional storage facilities are necessary.
Determining Water Well Pump Capacity
A simple method of determining pump capacity is based on the number of fixtures or outlets using water in your home or business. The pump capacity (in gallons per minute or GPM) should equal the total number of fixtures in your home or business.
