Is your submersible water pump “swallowing” your light credit? Many Nigerians don’t realize that buying the wrong pump often becomes a huge financial burden because of high electricity bills and constant repairs.
Why Your Submersible Water Pump is Costing You Too Much:
- Wrong Horsepower (HP): Many people buy a heavy-duty submersible water pump when a smaller, more efficient one is enough for their building height.
- Poor Quality Wiring: “Cheap” pumps often use aluminum coils. A high-quality submersible water pump should have 100% Copper coils, which stay cool and use less power.
- Worn Out Parts: When a submersible water pump is old or poor quality, the motor works twice as hard to push water up, draining your prepaid meter faster.
3 Simple Tips to Save Money Today:
- Check the Energy Efficiency: Before you buy, ask for a submersible water pump with a low start-up load. This ensures it doesn’t “trip” your breaker or spike your bill every time you turn it on.
- Match the Pump to Your Borehole: If you live in a bungalow, you don’t need the same massive submersible water pump used for a 3-story plaza. Using the right size saves energy and money.
- Buy Copper, Not Color: Always confirm your submersible water pump has copper winding. Copper conducts electricity better and lasts years longer than cheap alternatives.
Pro Tip: If you use a generator, choosing a “low-voltage” submersible water pump will prevent your generator from knocking and save you from expensive mechanical “wahala.”
How a Submersible Water Pump Works
In simple terms, a submersible water pump is a “pusher,” not a “puller.”
- Under the Water: Unlike a surface pump (the ones that sit on top of a well and “suck” water up), a submersible water pump is lowered deep into the borehole until it is completely under water.
- The Pushing Power: It has a sealed motor and “impellers” (spinning blades). When you turn it on, the motor spins the blades, which push the water upward through the pipe to your tank.
- Self-Priming: Because it is already inside the water, it doesn’t need “priming” (adding water to the pump to make it start). You just flip the switch, and it works.
