The lack of plumbing and sanitation often poisons the lives of even the most patient owners of suburban homes. Constantly carrying buckets of water from wells can be very tiring, even if the springs are very close to home. This problem is very simple to solve, you can buy a surface pump. With it, you will make the living conditions in a country house much better.
A surface pump is a device that does not require immersion in water for operation. The installation is located on the surface, and only the intake hose should be in the water. This device has earned great popularity among consumers due to the fact that it is very easy to service. The main drawback is the inability of these devices to raise water from great depths. The owner of such a device can claim to raise water from a depth of not more than ten meters. It turns out that the surface pump is not suitable for taking water from deep wells or wells. For such purposes, it is appropriate to use immersion devices. A surface
self-priming pump is appropriate to use for taking water from the basements, as well as for watering the garden by taking water from a ditch or other source located in close proximity.
There are two types of these devices: centrifugal and vortex. The former are able to take water from a much greater depth than the latter. Typically, vortex pumps are used to control the pressure level in a water system. The surface centrifugal pump is excellent for drawing drinking water from shallow wells, as well as for taking water for irrigation from a pond.
If we talk about pumps, then it is necessary to mention the pumping stations. In addition to the pump, the design of such a device includes a control unit, as well as a pressure-type drive. On some models, you can see a device that protects the station from overheating. The accumulator is an important part of this entire system. The pump supplies water to the accumulator, after which it can turn off, and the water will be supplied to the consumer. If the level of accumulated water drops, then the pump is turned back on.
It should also consider the device. Centrifugal type surface water pumps operate by placing pressure inside the wheels. The working shaft rotates the wheels, and itself relies on bearings. Vortex devices have a similar device, in their body there is an axis to which the impeller is attached. It contains special blades that transmit water to the energy generated by the rotating axis.
If you decide to choose a surface pump, then you should first decide what characteristics this device should have in this particular case. For simple watering the garden, it is appropriate to take a model with low productivity, and to equip an individual water supply system, a high performance indicator will be required. It is necessary to learn about such a characteristic as the depth of absorption. The highest figure for such pumps is 8 meters. With a low voltage in the network, you should opt for a device with more power.
The remaining points can be considered not so important.
