SIZING A WELL PUMP The key to selecting the right size pump is figuring out how many gallons per minute you will require at peak periods. A pump should be selected to meet the normal peak demand for the household rather than average use. There are two common methods for sizing a residential pump system that gives similar results, looking at the number of fixtures and looking at peak demand. Capacity Based on Fixture Count The capacity of the pump system in gallons per minute should equal the number of fixtures in the home. This must take into account all use for the kitchen, bath, appliances, outside irrigation, and a pool or hot tub. In this model, a modern home with 2 bathrooms (3 outlets each), kitchen sink, dishwasher, washing machine, laundry tub and 2 outside faucets would require a capacity of 12 gallons per minute, based on the 12 fixtures our outlets. Capacity Based on Peak Demand A second model, using the same fixtures as mentioned above, calculates capacity based on a seven-minute peak demand. The peak demand for household water is normally in the morning, when the family rises, or in the evening, when all are at home. Seven minutes is the average high water use timeframe for a shower or automatic washer. (See below) RECENT POSTS Water tips for well owners when the power goes out Well pump failure?
