Sometimes when we face low water pressure from a borewell, it is extremely frustrating. Most people immediately blame the pump or motor, but an important component often goes unnoticed, that is column pipes. In fact, selecting the right column pipes plays a major role in improving water flow and enhancing the overall efficiency of the entire pumping system. The right choice can make a big difference in performance and reliability.
What Are Column Pipes and Their Importance?
Column pipes are vertical pipes used to carry water from the submersible pump to the surface. These pipes also support the weight of the pump and motor inside the borewell. So, these pipes do not just transport water but carry pressure and load.
If your column pipes are weak, narrow or poorly designed, water flow automatically suffers. You may face problems like pressure loss, leakage, vibration or even pipe failure over time. Strong and well-designed column pipes help water move smoothly, quickly and safely to the top.
Strong Column Pipes for Better Water Flow
High-quality column pipes have smooth inner surfaces that allow water to flow easily upward with minimal resistance. Reduced friction inside the pipes means lower pressure loss during operation. Due to this, water reaches the outlet with stronger pressure and improved flow which ensures better overall performance of the pumping system.
Good Load-Bearing Capacity
Column pipes have to carry the combined weight of the water inside, the pump, the motor, and the full pipe length. That is why strength really matters. Strong column pipes do not bend, crack or stretch under heavy load. These column pipes stay stable during operation, keeping the pump properly aligned. This stability helps the system run smoothly and ensures steady, consistent water flow without pressure drops or sudden failures.
No Leakage, No Wastage
Weak or low-quality column pipes often develop small cracks or leaky joints over time. Even small leaks can lead to a big drop in water flow and pressure. Strong column pipes, on the other hand, offer tight, secure joints and leak-proof performance which ensure that the water moves efficiently through the system without any loss along the way.
Choose the Right Column Pipes for Maximum Flow
Not all column pipes are manufactured equal. If you want better water flow, you should use column pipes with the right diameter. Pipes that are too narrow restrict flow, while oversized pipes may affect pressure. Always match the pipe size with pump capacity and borewell depth.
Modern column pipes made from advanced PVC or uPVC materials are lightweight yet extremely strong. These pipes resist corrosion and chemical reactions which are common issues with metal pipes that can choke water flow over time.
Good quality column pipes come with precision-threaded joints. Secure joints prevent air entry and water leakage which ensure uninterrupted flow even under high pressure.
Benefits of Strong Column Pipes
Investing in quality column pipes does not just improve water flow today but it saves money and stress in the long run. Strong column pipes mean fewer pump failures, lower maintenance costs, consistent water pressure and longer borewell system life.
In agricultural fields, industries, and residential buildings, strong column pipes ensure that water reaches faster and more efficiently, even during peak usage.
APL Apollo Column Pipes
APL Apollo Column Pipes are manufactured from strong UPVC and are specially designed for use in submersible pumps and borewells. This ultra-flexible piping system comes with a unique thread design that easily handles shock and sudden jerk loads during operation, without any trouble. These column pipes also offer excellent chemical resistance and are manufactured using advanced thick-and-thin technology, which ensures uniform thickness throughout the pipe. It means better strength, better performance and longer life.
What really makes APL Apollo Column Pipes different is their ability to handle heavy system loads without compromising safety. The system load includes the weight of the pump, water and the pipes themselves. With super-lock system and long service life these column pipes have been in use worldwide for more than 10 years.
Despite their strength, APL Apollo Column Pipes are surprisingly lightweight which makes installation easier and faster. These pipes are tough, durable and capable of carrying high tensile loads with ease. The leak-proof couplings are firmly secured using nylon wire, which is even more reliable than traditional metallic wire. Available in different lengths, this piping system is widely used with submersible pumps to draw underground water in both residential and industrial spaces efficiently and safely.
