Connection of Mains Scheme or Town Water
Supply to either Suction or Discharge of Pumps &
Pressure Systems
Most Water Supply Authorities have strict regulations regarding direct
connection of pumps to mains water supplies. In most cases an isolating
tank is required between mains supply and pump. Davey also recommend
this method. Directly applied mains pressure can exceed pump operating
pressure and damage pump.
