Pressurized water

I have an electrical system especially for pressurized water (in roof) for dishwashing and sinks. Does
this is eating electricity and how much? I also have a power on/off switch inside
the home for turning this system on and off. Does it also eating more power when i let it always on? How much?

I am not sure what you are trying to describe. Where are you located?

This is primarily a North American forum. We have nothing like that here (that I have heard of) so it may be difficult for us to help. Could you tell us how this system works? Is it a pump drawing from a cistern or what.

I'm not experienced and i don't know for sure but it sits next to the water tank on the roof and uses electricity to send water in heavy pressure and power for all the sinks in the house. It is made
for apartments. The water is not flowing when i have the power switch off for this device, on the wall.

It only uses power when the pump runs. Presumably there is a pressure switch that cuts the pump off when a preset pressure is reached. Assuming no leaks pressure would be maintained and the pump not run when water is not being used. A clamp on amp meter around one of the wires (either one) to the switch will tell you if it is using power and how much. I doubt the pump uses more electricity than two or three lights when it is on.

Why does your profile indicate you are in Arizona? Formerly from Arizona? About to move to Arizona?
