An important decision you must make is, do you want a manual water pump or an automatic water pump? Here is a brief explanation of the differences between the two types of pumps.
Manual Water Pump
These are by far the least expensive kind of water pump. Its operation is straightforward; if you want water, then you must switch on the pump. However, you cannot discontinue water flow while the pump is going. Stopping water flow to an operating pump can easily burn out the motor. For this reason, manual pumps are often not a good choice, despite their low prices.
Automatic Pump With A Loss Of Prime Switch
This pump operates much like the automatic pump with a pressure tank, except that it has with a failsafe loss of prime switch. Should the tank no longer hold enough water, this pump will automatically stop. This protective feature saves the motor and gives you one less thing to monitor.

However, you cannot discontinue water flow while the pump is going. Stopping water flow to an operating pump can easily burn out the motor. For this reason, manual pumps are often not a good choice, despite their low prices.
Automatic Pump With An Onga Waterswitch
This pump is the most convenient kind of automatic water pump, but it is also the most expensive pump. Its operation is similar to the automatic pump equipped with the loss of prime switch, except if the tank has no water, it will automatically connect to water mains. By switching to a water main, the pump assures that you will constantly have a steady supply of water when you need it. Switching sources to deliver consistent water is very helpful if you are in the shower when your tank is out of water. When the tank has refilled, it will, again, become the primary water source.
Once we install your new water pump, you can relax knowing that we arrange a yearly maintenance check-up, at no additional cost, to make sure your pump is in top notch condition. Should a problem develop, remember that our warranties always extend beyond manufacturer warranties, so we have you covered.
