The pump is fitted in the horizontal direction along with a pressure tank which is a free-standing pressure which is charged before (precharged), it is usually used and linked with the air to the water tank. Well, the casing is enclosed by the seal at the top so that the head of the well would be watertight sealed and completely closed. This will not only help the well from seeping, but also it will protect the water from contaminating with different germs.
Foot valve works as a pump prime; it is placed on the bottom of the suction pipe, which automatically closes the pump when it is inactive.
How to identify whether there is a need for installation of the pump?
Firstly, it is very important to look up for the soil, either the soil is good enough that the pump can be installed. If the soil is well enough, your work of installation will be started. Now consider the distance of canal/river with the pump as if the canal is near to the area pump will be installed then the motor to be used in it will be of less power as compared to other motors. Then, give the water to the laborites so that they will test them and give their final decision that either the water is drinkable or not. If not, then you must also need to install the filtration plant, which is necessary for making the water drinkable.
