what causes surges in home water pressure
Water pipelines and distribution systems are subjected to surges almost daily, which. over time can cause damage to equipment and possible contamination. Surges are caused by. sudden changes in fluid velocity and can be as minor as a few psi to five times the static. pressure. The causes and effects of these surges in pumping systems will be discussed along. with equipment designed to prevent and dissipate surges. Only with the knowledge of all of the.
