Constant Pressure System Installation in Winston-Salem, NC
Constant Pressure System Installation for Winston-Salem and the surrounding Forsyth County area. Same-day service, written estimates, family-owned since 1946.
A constant pressure system in Winston-Salem replaces the on/off pump-and-tank setup with a variable-speed (VFD) pump that holds steady house pressure at every fixture. T.W. Stanley & Son installs Franklin Electric SubDrive, Grundfos SQE-Constant Pressure, and Goulds Aquavar systems for Winston-Salem and Forsyth County homeowners who are tired of pressure drops when two showers and a dishwasher run at once. We size, install, program, and warranty the whole package.

How a service call works
- 1Free phone diagnosis
We walk through symptoms, water pressure, sounds, and system age to narrow the problem before we roll a truck.

We check voltage at the pressure switch, draw amps on the pump, and verify pressure tank pre-charge before opening anything.
- 3Written estimate
You see the recommended scope, repair vs replacement, parts, and labor in writing before any work begins.
- 4Repair or replacement
We carry common pumps, tanks, switches, and check valves on the truck so most no-water calls finish the same day they started.

We cycle the system, confirm pressure holds, shock-chlorinate when needed, and stand behind the work with a labor warranty.

Frequently asked
What is a constant pressure system and why would I want one in Winston-Salem?
A constant pressure (or VFD) pump system varies the pump speed to hold a steady psi at every fixture in the house, instead of letting pressure swing between cut-in and cut-out. Winston-Salem homes with two-story plumbing, big primary baths, or multiple-fixture morning loads see the biggest improvement.
Do I still need a pressure tank with constant pressure?
Yes, but much smaller. CPS systems use a small 2- to 4-gallon tank just to absorb pressure spikes when the pump cuts off. The big steel pressure tank you have today gets removed and recycled.
How long does a CPS install take?
One day for most retrofits, two days when we are also pulling and replacing the submersible pump itself. The VFD controller mounts on a wall near the existing pressure tank location.
Will it work during a power outage?
No, like any electric pump it needs power. CPS systems are actually more sensitive to dirty power than a standard pump, which is why we install surge protection on every job.
Do you warranty the work?
Yes. You get the full manufacturer warranty on the pump or tank plus our own labor warranty on the install. We answer the phone after the job is done.
Do you service constant pressure systems all over Forsyth County?
Yes. We install, program, and service Franklin, Grundfos, and Goulds CPS systems anywhere in Forsyth County and the rest of our six-county footprint.
