REMAINING TABLES
The remaining tables are different in content, but the procedures for using them are the same. Once you know the number of bedrooms and bathrooms for a dwelling, you can quickly and easily determine the minimum requirements for a water heater. You have just seen how simple the tables are. When you have a water heater to size, just refer to the tables in this chapter (Fig. 7.4, to 7.10) or the tables in your local codebook.

ome plumbers work their entire careers without ever having to know anything about water pumps. Other plumbers deal with pumps on a frequent basis. The difference is where the plumbers work. I’ve never worked in New York City, but I suppose there are not many water pumps to be installed or serviced. But where I live, in Maine, there are more homes served by private water wells than you can shake a stick at. When I lived in Virginia, there were plenty of water pumps, too. Some of the pumps are jet pumps and others are submersible pumps. The two are very different, even though they do the same job.
Jet pumps are at their best when used in conjunction with shallow wells, with depths of say 25 feet or less. Two-pipe jet pumps can be used with deep wells, but a submersible pump is usually a better option for deep wells. Sizing water pumps and pressure tanks is routine for some plumbers and foreign to others. This chapter is going to give you plenty of data to use when working with pump systems.
The illustrations I have to offer you in this chapter are detailed and selfexplanatory. I believe that you will be able to use this chapter as a quick-reference guide to most of your pump questions. Look over the following illustrations and you will find data on jet pumps, submersible pumps, and pressure tanks. The data will prove very helpful if you become involved with the installation, sizing, or repair of water pumps (Figs. 8.1 to 8.37).
