With control systems, whether this is a pump console or submersible pump, we would supply power to that 24 hours a day. But it is the operation of the pump, so it turns on via a float sensor built into the pump when the valve is opened. So, the pump is only running whenever you have water running to an outlet. The power is only consumed when the system is in operation, so it is an automatic process. Once the system is turned on, the pump will pump on demand and then will shut off once the valve is closed.
