DESIGN FOR DOMESTIC WATER PUMPING
SYSTEM OF HIGH RISE BUILDING
PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
PREVENT THE WATER HAMMERING WHEN
THE PUMP STOP
1) Install the Silent Check Valve at the riser pipe
to prevent water back flow.
2) Install Surge Anticipating Valve at the riser
pipe to release the back pressure of the
water back flow into suction tank or drain.
3) Using Inverter Drive Control Panel by setting
Decelerate Time of the inverter to reduce
90% of the water back flow and water
hammering.
Silent Check Valve Surge Anticipating
Valve
ADVANTAGES OF USING INVERTER
DRIVE FOR PUMPING SYSTEM
1) Lower Starting Amp and Lower Incoming
Amp Supply = Smaller Cable Size
STARTING AMP INCOMING AMP SUPPLY
BELOW 100A = FULL LOAD AMP X 2 TIMES BELOW 150A = FULL LOAD AMP + 50%
100A – 200A = FULL LOAD AMP X 2.5 TIMES ABOVE 150A = FULL LOAD AMP + 80%
200A – 500A = FULL LOAD AMP X 3 TIMES
By Using Inverter
Soft Start = Prevent Vibration of the Pump & Pipe
Soft Stop = Prevent Water Hammering & Noise created

PUMP PLINTH HEIGHT = 1M
TOTAL = 4.66M
(3.5M X 3) + 4.66M = 15.16M
(3.5M X 4) + 4.66M = 18.66M
(3.5M X 5) + 4.66M = 22.16M

Experience = Cost Saving
3 THINGS THAT CAN EFFECT THE COST FOR
HIGH RISE BUILDING PUMPING SYSTEM
1) Single Stage Pumping System
2) Define The Roof Top Tank Capacity
3) Define The Pumping Time To Fill Up The
Roof Top Tank
1) Single Stage Pumping System
From SPAN Page 60, Year 2014
From SPAN Page 60, Year 2018
BENIFITS OF SINGLE STAGE PUMPING
COST SAVING BECAUSE DON’T HAVE THE INTERMEDIATE TANK & REDUCE THE
BUILDING LOAD
SPACE SAVING FOR THE INTERMEDIATE PUMP ROOM AND CAN USE FOR OTHER’S
USAGE
DON’T HAVE THE NOISE INTERUPTION FOR THE SAME FLOOR UNITS AND FLOOR
BELOW THE PUMP ROOM.
2) Define The Roof Top Tank Capacity
From SPAN Page 60, Year 2018
3 OPTIONS FOR SUCTION TANK & ROOF TOP TANK CAPACITY
OPTION 1 = SUCTION TANK 10% - 15% & ROOF TOP TANK = 100% (PBA STANDARD)
OPTION 2 = SUCTION TANK 30% & ROOF TOP TANK = 70%
OPTION 3 = SUCTION TANK 70% & ROOF TOP TANK = 30%
IF REALLY WANT TO HAVE THE BUILDING LOAD SAVING, CAN CONSIDER FOR
OPTION 2. BUT PBA OPERATION DEPARTMENT MAY COMMENT FOR IT FOR
OPTION 3.
3) Define The Pumping Time To Fill Up The
Roof Top Tank
From SPAN Page 60, Year 2018
3 OPTIONS OF PUMPING TIME TO FILL UP THE ROOF TOP TANK
OPTION 1 = 6 HOURS TO FILL UP ROOF TOP TANK (PBA STANDARD)
OPTION 2 = 8 HOURS + 15% TO FILL UP ROOF TOP TANK (SADA STANDARD)
OPTION 3 = 8 - 12 HOURS TO FILL UP ROOF TOP TANK (KL & SELANGOR STANDARD)
WE CHOOSE FOR 12 HOURS FOR 1 PUMP TO FILL UP ROOF TOP TANK
1 PUMP RUNNING = 12 HOURS & 2 PUMPS RUNNING = 6 HOURS
WATER LEVEL CONTROL FOR ROOF TOP STORAGE TANK

2 Points To Define The Pumping Time To
Fill Up The Roof Top Tank
3 OPTIONS OF PUMPING TIME TO FILL UP THE ROOF TOP TANK
OPTION 1 = 6 HOURS TO FILL UP ROOF TOP TANK (PBA STANDARD)
OPTION 2 = 8 HOURS + 15% TO FILL UP ROOF TOP TANK (SADA STANDARD)
OPTION 3 = 8 - 12 HOURS TO FILL UP ROOF TOP TANK (KL & SELANGOR STANDARD)
1) From the above Guidelines, even though we select for 12 hours
filling time. But we still have backup pump at lower level to increase
to 6 hours filling time if the water continue to drop to hit 50% water
level of the tank.
2) Most of the apartment/condominium are not fully occupied.
COMMITMENT FOR THE PUMPING
DESIGIN PROPOSED
• We will fully responsible for the pumping system
that we had proposed. We are willing to sign the
agreement to assure for future 10 – 20 years later,
when the building is fully occupied and my pump
system is able to support for the usage demand.
Otherwise, we will upgrade the pump size FOC to
the developer. Excluded others external factors
that cause the pumping system can’t perform
normally. Like low PBA incoming water supply and
electric supply issue.
