A shower, a flush toilet, a washing machine and a dishwasher require plumbing, even if it is minimal. The lawn and garden with a vegetable garden constantly need watering. Finally, it is often necessary to pump out dirty water from various reservoirs. Pumps provide the desired comfort, which are now on sale in a great variety.
Structurally, they are divided into submersible и superficial. The difference is clear from the name: the first ones are lowered into the well as a whole, along with the engine. The latter raise water from a depth of no more than 10 meters through a hose or pipe submerged down, and the power plant remains on the surface of the earth or other surface.
Most often, such units are used if the primary source is a well or an open reservoir. But these are not all possible applications of surface pumps. They are indispensable for pumping dirty water from drainage tanks, flooded basements, holds, sewer systems.

How to choose a surface pump
The choice of a surface pump model directly depends on the tasks that the buyer faces. Healthy Food Near Me asked Maxim Sokolov, an expert at the VseInstrumenty.ru online hypermarket, to help us figure out this simple but ambiguous choice. But first, let’s see how such a pump works and what types of such pumps are. READ ALSO
Surface pump device and its types
This hydraulic machine consists of three main components:
- Drive motor;
- The pressure block that creates pressure in the working chamber;
- Control system for power and delivery units.
Two types of such units are widely used: centrifugal surface pump and vortex.
At a centrifugal pump, the impeller, also known as the “impeller”, rotates at high speed and creates a centrifugal force that pushes water into the outlet pipe. At the same time, a low pressure zone is formed at the inlet pipe, sucking water into the working chamber. It is pre-filled with liquid. This is a necessary condition for the operation of a centrifugal pump. Air getting inside stops pumping. This is the main disadvantage of centrifugal pumps. Their advantages are simplicity, reliability, high efficiency and low sensitivity to solid particles in water.
In vortex pumps, the pressure in the working chamber is created not by the impeller, but by the impeller, the impeller. Water must be clean, solid particles are not allowed. But the air in the inlet pipe does not interfere. Such units cannot be used as drainage, but they work great in irrigation and water supply systems for country houses and cottages.
First of all, it is necessary to determine the purpose of using the pump.
Watering the garden
What parameters of a surface pump should be first of all guided by if it is intended for irrigating a garden, vegetable garden or lawn?
- Productivity, that is, the ability to pump a certain volume of water. To ensure irrigation, a pump with a capacity of at least 1 cubic meter / hour is required;
- Depth of a well or well. This parameter must be specified in the passport of the unit. Measure in advance during the driest period the distance between the surfaces of the earth and the water, when the water level is at its lowest.
- The ratio of the lengths of the vertical and horizontal sections of the water intake. It is recommended that it be about 1:4. If, for example, the depth of the well is 2 meters, then the pump can be installed at a distance of 8 meters from it;
- The pressure must be such as to ensure the supply of water to the point of the irrigation system farthest from the pump.
Water supply at home or cottage
Water consumption depends on the composition of the family, the number of water points, the number of storeys of a residential building. The main parameters of the pump for this application:
- Performance. It is believed that for a family of 4 people, 3 cubic meters per hour is enough. In dry regions, it is necessary to increase productivity by 40%. Plus another 1 cubic meter / hour, if it is planned to provide irrigation of a personal plot with the same pump.
- The pressure is chosen so as to ensure the supply of water to the highest point of the water supply. Do not forget to take into account the height of the house relative to the well.
Additional options
Long-term stable operation of the surface pump is provided by automatic protection systems against overheating and dry operation, that is, the lack of water in the well or well.
Pay attention to the filter that cuts off the ingress of solid particles into the pump. If the design of the pump is not intended for pumping contaminated water from basements or sewer systems, then the allowable solid particle size should not exceed 0,3 mm. Drainage pumps have a special design and a conventional unit will quickly fail.
Proper operation of the surface pump guarantees its operation for many years. And your home will always delight you with comfort and coziness.
