Any private house, whether it is a summer cottage or a huge mansion, due to the lack of central water supply needs a water pump. The most common brand in the post-Soviet space is the Kama pump.
Due to their technical characteristics and features, pumps of this brand can have several different types and models. So, there are submersible, automatic, surface and even manual pumps. Let's get acquainted with the main characteristics of each of the listed types.
Submersible pump
Pumps of this type can be divided into several types. The main ones are:
- Vibrating . Such a water pump "Kama" is simple in its device, but it is capable of delivering high power, while consuming little electricity.
- Drainage . It is used to remove water from the cellars of basements, as well as to remove liquid from waterlogged soil.
- Centrifugal . This type of Kama pump is capable of pumping any liquid from any source (due to its power and excellent technical parameters).
The use of one type or another depends on the specific conditions. So, you can use vibration-type pumps at a depth of not more than 10 meters.
The most common among the surface is the Kama-10 pump. Thanks to its reliability and long service life, it has earned the trust of more than one generation of people.
In most cases, vortex and centrifugal pumps do not have a self-priming function. But this fact can be eliminated by installing an ejector for this.
The mechanism of action of the pump
In order for the Kama pump to start working, its housing must be filled with water higher than its axis. When the pump motor is turned on, liquid from the filled ejector, passing through the lower part of the housing, enters its inlet part. In this way, water is circulated inside the pump itself. She picks up with herself the air that enters from the suction device. Therefore, at first the pressure supplied by the pump is small. As air is removed from the system, the jet increases.
Which pump is best to use at home?
To provide the house with hot and cold water, it is better to use the Kama surface pump of a monoblock type. The advantage of such devices is that they can pump a liquid with a temperature of 110 ° C. The power is relatively small, which is why there is no excess noise during operation. Such monoblock water systems are very often used to automatically maintain the pressure in the water pipes of cottages and country houses. Thanks to them, the water supply system operates on the same type as in the city.
Thus, Kama water pumps are designed for both home and industrial use. Due to their reliability, together with high technical characteristics, they rightfully gained their high reputation among both professionals and ordinary summer residents. In a word, Kama pumps are devices for centuries!
