The owners of a country house often face the issue of water supply. If the family consists of three people, and the house and the plot are small, and are used only in the summer, then an ordinary household pump can handle the delivery of water.
However, if necessary, to provide the family with liquid during the year, as well as for summer watering of plants, the creation of a water supply network will be required. A great helper in this matter will be a domestic pumping station. It will allow you to quickly and conveniently provide the house with water.
Any pumping station is capable of independently pumping water from a source and delivering it to any point of the intake. In addition, the device can become an intermediary that increases the pressure in the system. If there is not enough power of the main pump (deep or surface), then you can connect the station to it through a hose.
Units have advantages over conventional surface or deep devices. Firstly, when the power is cut off, the devices can still work for some time, and a diesel pump station can generally be used.
The device is able to create the necessary pressure for a full supply of water to the house and the plot. It is lightweight, and the installation of the unit can be performed anywhere. The station operates with periodic shutdowns and turns on, which reduces equipment wear.
The device unit is not very difficult for people who are at least a little versed in technology. The main component of the design is a surface pump equipped with an ejector. This element allows you to raise water from a 10-meter depth, delivering it to the desired point. The power of the entire station depends on the surface pump. A suction line departs from it to the source, at the end of which a grid and a check valve are placed .
The pump is equipped with a steel pressure tank, which has a closed structure and consists of cavities separated by a membrane. Water is located in one of them, and air is under pressure in the other.
The pressure tank is designed to protect the entire structure from
water hammer. It allows you to accumulate water in one of the cavities, which makes it possible to relax the pump. When there is a power outage, water continues to flow into the system. Because of this property, the device is called a hydraulic accumulator.
In addition, pumping stations for water in their device have a pressure switch that turns off the pump when the pressure drops below a critical level, and also when it rises to a predetermined value. To control all the parameters allows the pressure gauge. All components are interconnected using pipes and fittings.
With independent connection, the pumping station should be installed on a flat surface, preferably on a concrete base. After that, the unit is rigidly mounted using rubber shock absorbers. To connect the device to the water supply system, you can take polypropylene pipes.
