What is a Test pump?

A test pump is a device that measures durability to see if there is a leak in the pipe through which water flows, or if it can withstand a certain pressure. Since the test pump is a pump, it sends out water, but there are manual type that sends out water manually and electric test pump that sends out water by electricity. In addition, the volume of the pipe that can be tested is determined by the water supply capacity of the pump, and the water pressure that can be applied inside the pipe is also determined, so it is necessary to select the test pump according to the content to be tested. If the scale of water pipes is about the size of a general household, a small test pump that can be carried around will suffice, but if you want to test a large-scale water pipe, you will need a larger test pump.

Application of Test pump

After installing the water pipes, a test is required to check if there are any problems such as leaks and if the construction can withstand use. If the pipe is cracked or the connection is bad, water will leak. If you continue to use it in a leaked state, it will corrode the surrounding building materials and lead to the growth of mold. Also, you may have to pay for unintended water, so a test pump is used to perform such tests. In addition, a water pressure test is performed with a test pump when the valve of the water pipe is replaced or after a branch is made in the water pipe and a faucet is installed in another place.
