Domestic Water Systems

  • The information provided here is for educational purposes only.
  • Technically qualified personnel should install pumps and motors.
  • We recommend that a licensed contractor install all new systems and replace existing pumps and motors.
  • Failure to install in compliance with local and national codes and manufacturers recommendations may result in electrical shock, fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, and equipment failure.






    Domestic groundwater systems are made up of a pump, storage tank, and accessories to operate the system automatically. Pumps are generally of the submersible or jet variety and include the pump and motor as a unit.
