Reaction turbines are a cost-effective option for applications with a constant flow and a need for positive outlet pressure, like force mains. These highly efficient turbines can be paired with a flywheel or quick-opening bypass valve to address variable pressure concerns. Compared to Pelton turbines, reaction turbines are a more affordable option.

Pelton turbines are suitable for applications with variable flows and do not require a flywheel or quick-opening bypass valve in the event of grid loss. However, they must be exhausted into the atmosphere and are typically more costly than reaction turbines.
