Pump Installation in Sri Lanka
Pumps move water where gravity can't. A correctly selected and installed pump system ensures reliable water supply, drainage, and fire protection for buildings across Sri Lanka.
Types of Pumps We Install
| Pump Type | Application | |-----------|-------------| | Centrifugal | General water transfer, circulation | | Booster | Multi-storey water supply pressure | | Submersible | Boreholes, wells, sumps | | Sewage / effluent | Wastewater and drainage lift | | Fire pumps | Fire hydrant & sprinkler systems | | Hydrostatic test pump | Pipeline pressure testing |
Selection Criteria
- Flow rate (Q) — litres per second or m³/h required
- Head (H) — vertical lift plus friction losses
- Fluid — clean water, sewage, or chemicals
- Power supply — single or three phase
- Duty — continuous, intermittent, standby
- NPSH — available vs required to avoid cavitation
Installation Process
- Foundation — concrete plinth, vibration isolation
- Pipework — suction and discharge, flex connectors
- Valves — gate/check/ball, non-return on discharge
- Electrical — DOL or star-delta starter, control panel
- Protection — dry-run, overload, phase failure
- Testing — flow test, pressure test, amp test
- Commissioning — set pressure switches, record baseline
Common Problems
- Cavitation from poor suction design
- Frequent cycling — faulty pressure vessel or switch
- Motor overload — wrong voltage or blocked impeller
- Seal failure — abrasive or corrosive water
- Noise and vibration — misalignment or weak base
Maintenance
- Quarterly: check seals, bearings, noise
- Half-yearly: inspect impeller, clean strainer
- Annual: full service, re-test performance
