There are lot of different pump types out there and understanding which one is right for you is not always clear. Here we will discuss the working principles and compare three common pump types: positive displacement, centrifugal, and turbine pumps. 
Positive displacement pumps come in two main classes: reciprocating and rotary vane pumps.

Rotary vane pumps contain one or two rotating parts that move in a manner which creates suction. This draws in liquid which moves with the rotation, building up pressure as it passed through the pump. As the pump moves it pulls in liquid at the same speed at which it is expelled creating a constant and regular flow. This consistency makes it a good pump for pumping a wide range of non-corrosive liquids. The liquids should contain no solid particles as they may cause the rotating parts to block.

Reciprocating pumps work based on a different mechanism and here alternating force and suction action creates flow. The pump contains a chamber that expand and contracts, often through movement of a piston or diaphragm, creating a pulsing flow. This powerful set up is recommended for application in which viscous liquids are pumped. 

Positive displacement pumps are desirable for constant flow applications and can often handle high viscosity liquids. They create high output pressures while operation at low suction pressures. To prevent over pressurization of the system a pressure relief valve should be installed on the line through which the liquid is pumped.

Centrifugal pumps are less powerful than positive displacement pumps and are therefore less suitable for pumping high-viscosity liquids. They are generally cheaper than positive displacement pumps and require less maintenance. Their working principle is based on one or more impellers which rotate with the shaft moving the liquid through the pump consistently. Due to its layout, the rotating rate increases and decreases with pressure making them unfit for systems with variable internal pressure. They are the most commonly used pump type and are excellent for low viscosity and high flow rate applications. 

Turbine pumps have characteristics of both centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. They contain a rotating impeller similar to centrifugal pumps, the difference being that the turbine pump has a turbine-like impeller. This design leads to a buildup of pressure while the fluid moves through the pump creating a powerful discharge. Due to this layout, the rotating rate does not vary much with changing pressure. Turbine pumps are good for applications where high head and low flow are needed. 

When you are running your circulator and/or chiller with water at a constant pressure you will need a pump that provides a good flow rate. In this situation a centrifugal or rotary vane pump will do well. If, however, you use one pump for multiple systems, use a high viscous cooling or heating liquid, or have varying internal pressure a more powerful positive displacement or turbine pump should be considered instead.

  • Consider the available space.
    • First, review the available floor space with considerations to the full footprint of the pump installation including all piping and accessories.
    • Bear in mind the service clearance. How much room, both vertical and horizontal, is needed to properly maintain and service the pump?
    • Does the pump need to be suspended in the air? If so, is there adequate room for piping and structural support?

  • Think about service requirements.
    • Mechanical seals will need to be replaced in time. Does the pump you’re selecting have appropriate access to the mechanical seal?
    • Misaligned pumps can wreak havoc not only on the pump itself but potentially on the entire system. Can the pump be easily aligned?
    • You don’t want to have to entirely dismantle the pump in case of motor problems. Consider how easy it is to remove the motor for repair or service work.

  • Regardless of the pump selected, ensure that you arrange for a quality installation for increased longevity and durability of your pump.
    • The life and death of your pump can often be traced back to whether or not best practices were followed during initial installation of your hydronic pumps. During installation, ensure that BMES pumps are appropriately grouted and properly aligned. Service technicians visit so many facilities with ungrouted (or improperly grouted) pumps or pumps that have never been aligned correctly.
    • Pump housing are not designed to carry external loads. Regardless of pump design, NO external piping loads or forces should be applied to the pump.
    • Balancing is an essential part of minimizing pump vibration, increasing bearing life and keeping downtime and repair costs to a minimum. An unbalanced pump motor could wreak havoc on your pump.
    • The second leading cause of pump breakdowns is bearing failure.   Proper lubrication, regular maintenance and keeping the system contaminant-free will help keep your bearings doing their job and your pumps running smoothly.

  • While we always try to say that price should never be the final determining factor in your pump selection, we realize that all projects have budgets. There are a number of factors to consider, however, when determining the actual cost of a pump.
    • Cost of Pump
    • Cost of Motor
    • Cost of Piping/Mounting/Grouting
    • Cost of Alignment

  • Always consider net positive suction head (NPSH). This is the minimum pressure required at the suction port of the pump to prevent the pump from cavitation. You must have more suction side pressure available than the pump requires.

1. Toilets
Older toilets use a lot of water. Once study concluded that if all the older, inefficient toilets in the US were replaced with newer, water-efficient models around 360 billion gallons of water could be saved every year. If your toilet was manufactured before the mid-1990s there’s a good chance its wasting a lot of water. If you’re concerned about the effectiveness of newer water efficient toilets, rest assured, most are rated highly and work well.
Another way to save water with every flush is to install “dual-flush” models. With two options for flush strength you can decide the amount of water that is needed.

2. Faucets
The EPA estimates that faucets account for 15% of indoor water use. By selecting a faucet with the WaterSense® certification you can reduce the water by at least 20 percent. You can also make most existing faucets more efficient by adding a water saving aerator.

3. Shower Heads
Depending on how inefficient your current shower head it, swapping it for a low-flow shower head can cut water use by 50% or more. The standard for low flow heads is 2.5 gpm at 80 psi. A high quality low flow shower head will offer good pressure at both high and low water pressures. Some have flow restrictors that allow you to adjust the spray pattern and pressure to achieve the right amount of water flow for your needs.

4. Tankless Water Heaters
While tankless water heaters won’t save a large amount of water compared to tank-style water heaters, they can save water by reducing the amount of time for hot water to be available. Their primary benefit is the energy savings they offer by only heating water when it’s needed, not an entire tank.

5. Rain Sensors
Lawn and landscape watering are extremely water-intensive. In many cities, rain or moisture sensors are required to prevent irrigation lines and underground lawn sprinklers from over watering lawns.

A hot water recirculating system is a pump and valve combination that delivers hot water in an instant to any faucet or bath in your home. The pump is installed at the water heater along with the patented under-sink sensor valve that is installed at the fixture located at the furthest distance from the water heater. This combination creates a pressure differential that allows the cold and cool water in the hot water supply line to "by-pass" (at a low volume) into the cold water supply line through the thermostatically controlled sensor valve, keeping the water in the hot water supply line at a "no-wait" temperature throughout the home. A timer on the pump allows the homeowner to control the time where instant hot water will be used. Are There Different Recirculating Pumps Available?

There Are Several Makes and Models of Recirculating Pumps Available:

  • A basic “always on” recirculating pump that uses the same amount of energy as a 40 watt light bulb.
  • A recirculating pump with a timer allows you to set times when the system is to be on for peak use and efficiency.
  • An “on demand” recirculating pump is designed with a remote control that is pushed any time you want to circulate hot water through your system. This type of pump shuts off when it senses that the water at the faucet farthest away from the heater has reached the appropriate temperature (approximately 10 – 15 seconds after you start the pump, depending on the size of the house.)
  • Recirculating Pump designed for tankless water heaters. This unit is designed for use with tankless water heaters and is similar in function as the recirculating pump with timer listed above.

Full Recirculating Pump System

In this type of system, your plumber will install additional hot water pipes in your home. These pipes can then return the unused hot water to the water heater. As the cooling hot water makes its way back to the water heater, new hot water can take its place so that it is always ready to go when you need it. The hot water flows through a continuous loop throughout your system so that there is a steady supply of hot water, minimizing your wait time and water waste.
If you are concerned about how this constant operation might affect your energy costs for heating the water, there is no need to be. While the system is capable of running continuously, it doesn’t always do this. Most hot water recirculating pumps come with sensors or timers to regulate operation. Sensors can detect the temperature of the hot water in the pipe, only running the recirculation pump when the temperature drops below a specified level. This way, the water won’t keep circulating when the water is already warm, typically stopping itself after one complete cycle.
Timers give you even greater control over when your system operates. For example, you can program your system to automatically turn off after a specified time in the evening so that it isn’t running while you are sleeping. You can also program the schedule to turn the system off when you are at work or go out of town on vacation.
Even if the hot water recirculating pump you choose doesn’t come with a sensor or timer, your plumber can easily install one for you. This way, you’ll get all the benefits of having more control over your system without having to select an entirely new pump system.
During the installation process, your plumber will need to install additional piping throughout your home to carry the unused hot water back to the water heater. This can add to your installation cost considerably, especially if the pipes in your home are difficult to access. If you don’t want to weather the added cost, or if the installation would be too complex, you do have another option.

Recirculating Pump Comfort System

To avoid having to install new pipes, you can opt for a hot water recirculating pump that sends unused water back to the water heater through your cold water pipes rather than through a separate pipe system. This option is much more cost-effective and easier to install, making this style of system accessible to a wider range of homeowners. However, you’ll still get the benefit of fast hot water when you need it.
Comfort systems do come with one major drawback, though. Because the hot water will flow back to the water heater through the cold water pipes, the water that comes out of the cold tap at first will likely be warmer than you are used to. It may also take a few moments for the water to get truly cold. In most cases, this won’t be much of an issue, as lukewarm water is perfectly fine for many applications around the house, like cleaning and cooking. However, if you use your tap to provide drinking water, you may have to wait until the water is cool enough to be palatable.
You can combat this issue when you know you are going to need cold water by turning off the pump temporarily. This method is particularly effective during the summer. Because the weather is warmer during this time of year, you won’t need to run the pump as frequently to get hot water anyway, as the water already in the pipes will stay hot longer.

These systems are designed so that the pump operates only when there's a demand for hot water, such as opening a faucet or drawing a bath. They're equipped with either a remote switch or a motion detector that triggers the pump to switch ON when movement is detected in the hot water line.

Once activated, the water circulates until it reaches the designated temperature; or the pump is manually switched off; or the timer has expired. Depending on the size of your house, these units typically cost between $400 - $600.

Pros
  • If correctly configured, an On-Demand Circulation Pump can reduce the amount of energy your water heater uses.
  • Hot water is delivered rapidly when needed. This will significantly reduce the wasted water and the time you wait for the faucet to deliver hot water.
  • On homes that have retrofitted their plumbing system with an On Demand Circulation Pump, there will be reduced crossover of hot water into the cold water pipes.
  • The ability to override the motion detector and manually activate the pump.
Cons
  • On retrofitted plumbing systems it will be necessary to have a power source and a pump at each hot water loop.
  • Hot water is delivered quickly, but not instantaneous because the pump will need to be activated.
  • The amount of time it takes to deliver hot water depends on your home's plumbing configuration.

Advantage of Installing a Circulation Pump
Hot water circulation pumps have been around for years. Many high-end hotels and restaurants have provided on-demand hot water to their guests as a standard convenience. However, recently more homeowners are beginning to take advantage of the many benefits a circulation pump can provide.

Here are a few of the advantages:
Convenience: A circulation pump delivers hot water almost immediately when the faucet is opened. The ability to have access to nearly instantaneous hot water is probably the number one advantage.

Water Usage: Because hot water is delivered nearly immediately, less water is wasted. When installed, the need for waiting for the water flow to reach your desired temperature is eliminated. This is particularly useful in areas where water is in short supply. A huge benefit of using a circulation pump is it's ability to save a significant amount of water, resulting in a savings of money and time.
Ease of Installation: Installing a circulation pump is relatively easy and you'll likely already have the tools you need. The majority of pump models are designed for the average home plumbing system. In addition, no special permits are required to add a pump to your water heater.
Ease of Operation: As a general rule, circulating pumps are very straightforward and easy to operate.
Selection: Water heater circulation pumps can be found nearly everywhere with a variety of manufacturers and options to choose between. 

Disadvantages of Installing a Circulating Pump
The convenience of near-instant hot water has a price, but even so, there really are very few disadvantages to installing a circulating pump.

Initial Cost: There's a wide price range to select from, but it's a good idea to purchase a high-end model. Purchasing a quality pump will help you maximize your savings down the road.
Power Consumption: Many of the earlier circulating pumps worked non-stop and were more expensive to operate because they were constantly using electricity. In addition, they also required your water heater to work harder in order to keep the water hot around the clock. Fortunately, many of the current models are made with energy conservation in mind and are designed to deliver hot water on-demand, rather than running all of the time.
Heat Loss: Since your plumbing will be filled with hot water constantly, you'll experience heat loss from the pipes themselves. However, by insulating your hot water pipes you can keep the heat loss to a minimum.

What’s the point of water tank service?

Your water tank has a life expectancy. It will not last forever. In fact, most things in your home, need preventative maintenance to be at their best. Just like you (should) go to those once-a-year physical exams with your family doctor, you should also stay on top of your water tank’s health by getting it serviced.

How often should I have my water tank serviced?
Because there isn’t a hard-and-fast rule when it comes to water tank service, here’s what we tell most of our customers: Get your water tank serviced every two to three years.

What happens at a service appointment?
During a routine water tank service appointment, you can expect our technicians to:
  • Replace the gauge, release valve, or switch (as needed).
  • Check the overall functioning of the water tank and suggest upgrades/repairs (as needed).
  • Replace any other parts that are past their prime.
  • Air charge the water tank.
The technician should also be able to give you a head’s up on the overall condition of the water tank. That way, if repairs or a future replacement is in order, you can start planning ahead.
