Installation of the 3-Phase Submersible Water Pump
By Linus Tigiti, SJ
As the newly constructed Jesuit Community House nears completion, additional works not initially handled by the contractor have commenced. One crucial task is the installation of a 3-phase submersible water pump. The water pump installed has a power capacity of 5.5kw (7.5hp), weighs 32.2kg, and operates on a 3-phase system. The 3-phase submersible water pump was installed following the manufacturer’s guidelines and industry standards. It was securely positioned in a designated location to maximize efficiency and water extraction capabilities.
Community Benefits
The community has recently installed 25,000-liter water tanks and is considering adding another 10,000-liter tank to reach a total capacity of 35,000 liters. With the installation of water pumps, the community now has access to a sustainable water source, meeting daily needs and improving well-being. Furthermore, once the school construction is finished, the pump will provide water to the school. The contractor also foresees utilizing the borehole for consistent water supply during the school construction. This installation not only fulfils the community’s water needs but also sets the stage for future development and growth in the area.
