Dug Well
Bored Well
Similar to dug well, but constructed
using an auger driven in by hand or
with power tools
Seldom hand driven below 15 meters,
but can reach 40+ meters with power tools
Jetted Well
Use of extreme water pressure so as not to
affect existing foundations in the vicinity
Makes use of a suction pump above, while
casing acts as the pump riser
Used only where ground is relatively soft,
hence sometimes referred to as
“Sand-Point Wells”
Wells & Pumps
Driven Well
Dug with a sharp pointed hollow
slotted iron rod and well screen
Depths are from 10-15 meters
Drilled Well
Used for drilling oil
Can reach up to 1000 m
Wells & Pumps
Locating
a Well:
2 Most Common
Sources of
Contamination:
Septic Tank /
leach fields
Livestock
feedlots
Location must
not be less than
100 ft. away
from such
pollution sources
Locate on higher ground
The deeper the well, the better for natural filtration
Wells & Pumps
Methods of Well Screening:
Centrifugal Pumps
Water is drawn into the pump & discharged with a
centrifugal force
Wells & Pumps
Types/Classifications of Pumps
Reciprocating Pumps
piston pumps that operate with controlled speed. The discharge
from a reciprocating pump is pulsating and changes only when
the speed of the pump is changed. Sometimes an air chamber is
introduced to regulate the pulsation.
Wells & Pumps
Jet Pumps
Jet pumps are centrifugal pumps typically used for drawing water up
from a well.
Submersible Pumps
Submersible Pumps are designed to be fully immersible within a tank or
other media storage receptacle.
Many common types of pumps can be designed by manufacturers to
be submersible
Sump Pumps
Sump pumps are used in applications where excess water must be
pumped away from a particular area.
Sump pumps, in general, is a category that encompasses a number
of styles of pumps that are used to pump out collected fluid
Wells & Pumps
Turbine Pumps
Turbine Pumps are centrifugal pumps used for large applications
because of their multiple impellers
Cisterns
-Usually built of reinforced concrete
underground and connected with a pump
Pressure Tanks
Hot Water Tanks
Water Tanks & Cisterns
Gravity Supply Tanks
Used in Overhead Feed System
Main Components:
Supply Pipe
Inlet
Overflow Pipe
Drip Pan
Gate Valves
Water Tanks & Cisterns
Pneumatic Water Tanks:
Used in the Air Pressure System
Often used with a pump
Also makes use of a pressure relief valve, which
relieves pressure automatically if necessary
Water Tanks & Cisterns
Types of Hot Water Tanks:
Range Boiler
Small hot water tank (30-60 cm
diameter; 180cm max length)
Made of galvanized steel sheet,
copper or stainless steel
Standard working pressure limit is 85 to 150 psi
Storage Boiler
Large hot water tank (60-130 cm
in diameter; 5m max length)
Made of heavy duty material
sheets applied with rust proof paint
Standard working pressure limit
is 65 to 100 psi.
Controls & Valves
Function of Valves:
Control of the water system
- Start or shut down a system
- Regulate pressure
- Check backflow
- Control the direction of water
Rules Regarding Location
of Valves:
Locate & distribute valves in such
a manner that they can isolate a
certain section of the network in
case of system breakdown (before
each branch)
Locate valves where they are not
too visible while remaining
accessible to users
Controls & Valves
Types of Valves:
Gate Valve a.k.a. ‘Full-way Valve’
Used mainly to completely close or
completely open the water line
(does not control flow of water)
Best suited to the main supply and
pump lines wherein operation is
infrequent
2 Types:
The Wedge Shape or Tapered Disc
3 Types:
The Plug Type Disc Valve
-for throttling
4 Types:
The Swing Check Valve
Water Hammer
WATER HAMMER
a knocking in the pipes caused when
faucets in the lower levels are shut off BACK SIPHONAGE
abruptly or automatically
the force exerted by the decelerating
water causes the pipes to shake and
rattle
Back Siphonage
the flowing back of used, contaminated or polluted water from a
plumbing fixture or vessel into a water supply pipe due to a
negative pressure in such pipe
‘Back Flow’– the flow of water or other liquids, ,mixtures, or
substances into the distributing pipes of a potable supply of
water to a tank, plumbing fixture, or other device and the flood
level rim of the receptacle.
Water Distribution System
Defects in Water Distribution Systems:
Expansion / Contraction
Expansion/ Contraction
Pipes expand and contract due to
continuous changes in temperature
Friction Head Loss
An air space should be provided to
allow for breathing room
HORIZONTAL SUPPLY
Fixture Branch MAIN
Storage Tanks
Cold Water Distribution
System
Types of Cold Water Distribution
Systems (within buildings):
Direct Upfeed
- Water is provided by the city water
companies using normal pressure
from public water main
Cold Water Distribution
System
Air Pressure System (Pneumatic)
- When pressure supplied by city water
supply is not strong enough
- Compressed air is used to raise and UPFEED SYSTEM
push water into the system
Cold Water Distribution
System
Downfeed (Overheadfeed) or Gravity System
UPFEED SYSTEM
DOWNFEED OR
GRAVITY SYSTEM
Upfeed System
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Overheadfeeed System
Water distribution is
dependent on the
expansion of hot
water & gravity.
Types of
Fire Protection Systems:
Dry Standpipe System
Wet Standpipe System
