Zusammenfassung:A water supply apparatus is configured to meet energy-saving demands by controlling a pump so that the rotational speed of the pump is lowered while keeping a constant flow rate. The water supply apparatus includes a pump for pressurizing and delivering water, a frequency converter for supplying electric power to the pump to operate the pump at a variable rotational speed, a discharge-side pressure sensor for detecting a pressure at a discharge side of the pump, and a controller (15) for controlling the rotational speed of the pump. The controller (15) stores a plurality of control head curves (B, C 1 , C 2 , C 3 ) representing different relationships between flow rates (Q) and heads (H), and controls the rotational speed of the pump based on an alternatively selected one of the control head curves (B, C 1 , C 2 , C 3 ).
