Hi all, my double storey house is almost 30 years old.
The incoming water from gov piping is high pressure and high flow of water but unfortunately water flow in all of the toilets in ground floor and first floor is very low.
Wondering whether suitable to install water pump? Worry the piping might burst
Hi, if your existing house is still using GI pipe (metal), the chances of its experiencing burst or leak due to water pump is relatively high. Question that you should be asking yourself is; The incoming water from gov piping is high pressure and high flow of water but unfortunately water flow in all of the toilets in ground floor and first floor is very low.
Wondering whether suitable to install water pump? Worry the piping might burst
1. Have you been experiencing any leaks so far in this house?
If it is little to none, it is a good indication that your house piping system is still in good shape and this will becomes a calculated risk to have a water pump installed.
2. Have you put in budget for complete piping system revamping?
Do bring in a few plumbers to have the work cost budgeted as to have a good gauge on how much it will cost you in the event if you were to experienced pipe burst or leak due to a water pump installation.
3. Will the aesthetic feature of an exposed water piping system be a serious concerned to you?
If it is not, the installation of new exposed water piping system can be real money and livelihood saver should you need to revamp the entire system. However, if it is not, it is best to have the cost estimated on everything prior to have the water pump installed.
Do hope the above may helps in your decision making process.
