Tips for Choosing a Water Pump for 1-Story, 2-Story, and Deep Well Homes

Choosing the right water pump is crucial to ensuring smooth and stable water flow in your home. Every home has different pressure and suction power requirements—from single-story homes, two-story homes, to deep wells. If you choose the wrong one, the water may not rise, the pressure may be weak, or the pump may quickly break down.

Here's a complete guide to choosing a water pump that suits your installation needs.

1. Pumps for Single-Story Homes
For single-story homes, water pressure requirements are usually not very high, so you can choose a pump with standard specifications.

Recommended pumps:

• Shallow well pump
• Maximum suction power of 9 meters
• Medium water pressure
• Low power (75–125 watts)

Suitable for:

• Shallow wells
• PDAM water
• Daily needs such as bathing, laundry, or kitchen use

Tip: Choose a pump with an automatic feature (pressure switch) to prevent the pump from turning on and off repeatedly.

2. Pumps for Two-Story Houses
Two-story houses require a pump with greater pressure to ensure water can rise to the upper floors without obstruction.

Recommended pump:

• Semi-jet pump
• High pressure
• Power supply from 125–250 watts
• Strong thrust to the second-floor tank

Suitable for:

• Two-story houses with water points on the upper floors
• Using pressure showers
• Installations that require a steady flow

Tip: Pay attention to the maximum head specifications (thrust height). The taller the house, the greater the head required.

3. Pumps for Deep Wells
If your water source is quite deep, a pump with stronger suction capacity is required.

Recommended pump:

• Jet pump
• Suction capacity 20–30 meters
• Stable and strong pressure
• Larger motor (250–400 watts)

Suitable for:

• Deep wells 20–30 meters
• Large water applications such as ponds, small irrigation systems, or multi-occupancy homes

Tips: Ensure the installation uses a high-quality suction pipe for optimal suction power and a leak-free environment.

Additional Tips for Choosing the Right Water Pump

• Ensure the daily water capacity matches the pump's specifications.
• Check your home's electrical power to avoid overloading.
• Choose a trusted pump brand for better durability.
• Ensure the pump is equipped with a thermal protector to prevent overheating.
• Use proper piping and installation to prevent pressure loss in the lines.

Conclusion
A shallow pump is sufficient for a one-story house, a two-story house requires a semi-jet pump with higher pressure, while a deep well requires a jet pump with high suction power. Choosing the right water pump will ensure more stable water use, save energy, and extend the life of the pump.
