The best pumps for summer cottages 2022
There was a time when personal water supply in the country was considered a luxury: many were content with a branch from the central water supply, or even with water from a well. Today, in 2022, thanks to the best pumps for summer cottages, plumbing is not a luxury, but a given

Since pumps are used in almost all spheres of life, their classification is extremely extensive. In the dacha economy, they are mainly used submersible and surface. Pumping stations are often installed in year-round houses, but sometimes they are also installed in summer cottages – the owner must dismantle it every year with the onset of cold weather and reconnect it in the spring.

Earlier, Healthy Food Near Me already wrote about the best pumping stations for the home. And in this collection, we will present universal devices that will help solve the main tasks: to provide water supply to the country house and plot, as well as watering the garden in the summer season.

Eco GFI-904 (900 Вт)

If the owner of a summer cottage wants to use a pumping station, and not a submersible pump, then it is best for him to pay attention to this particular model from Eco.

This pumping station is intended for domestic use in a summer cottage: in a house or in a garden. It can be used not only for water supply, but also to provide higher pressure in existing water supply systems. That is, if there is water in the country house, but it comes with very poor pressure, then, on the contrary, it is too powerful.

The relay that the station is equipped with allows you to fully automate the entire process – it will turn on and off as the consumer consumes water. In addition, the manufacturer has thought out a system for protecting the engine from overloads.

How to choose a pump for a summer residence

For help in choosing a pump for a summer residence, Healthy Food Near Me turned to an expert, Arkady Glazman, Technical Specialist of the Suntrek Group of Companies. He gave recommendations on the main parameters for choosing a country water pump.

Popular questions and answers

What are the main parameters to pay attention to first of all?
Pump housing

The cast iron shell has a long service life and good sound insulation, but is susceptible to corrosion. The case made of plastic or stainless steel lasts a long time, does not rust, but practically does not hide the noise of the engine.

Submersible pump diameter

It is selected for the well in accordance with the section of the casing pipe.

Performance

The indicator indicates the maximum consumption l./min. It is calculated by the number of water supply points in the house and on the site. The average fluid flow rate per minute at one draw-off point is 6.5 liters. This figure is multiplied by the number of draw-off points and a performance parameter is obtained, which must be indicated in the pump passport.

Maximum head (lifting height)

It is determined in meters and is the sum of the following values: distance to the water surface in a well or well; distance to the highest tapping point in the house; indicator of fluctuations in the levels of the dynamic and static state of water; horizontal water pipe distance (10 meters is calculated as 1 meter); water pressure on a free spout from a tap in the range of 20 – 30 meters.

What pumps are used for country water supply?
Universal country pumping equipment should cope with several tasks at once. First, uninterruptedly supply the plant watering system. Secondly, to ensure the supply and drainage of water in a residential building.

Submersible pumps are designed to supply clean water from wells, wells, reservoirs and open reservoirs. Unlike surface installations, submersible type devices are placed directly into the liquid medium on half of the body or with its full coverage. Due to this, the risks of engine overheating are minimal, and due to the sufficient depth of immersion, noise during the operation of the device will not disturb others.

The surface pump is not immersed in water. Such a device is installed on the surface of the earth in close proximity to a water source (well, tank, pond). The maximum suction depth of the water pump is no more than 9 meters. Models are characterized by versatility of use, ease of operation and availability of maintenance.

A more advanced model of pumping equipment for summer cottages is an automatic pumping station.

What kind of pump to choose?
The choice of a model of submersible pumping equipment depends on the type of water source. If there is a well, an open reservoir or a storage tank, it is worth purchasing a submersible well pump. Such models are often equipped with a bottom filter that allows you to pump liquid of any degree of contamination. Most models are designed for immersion depths from 10 to 30 meters and a maximum flow rate of up to 55 liters per minute.

If a well is drilled in the summer cottage, then a submersible well pump is installed. The device is capable of lifting water from a depth of up to 100 meters, while providing good outlet pressure. Borehole pumps can be operated with polluted water or narrowed lines. In the case when the power grid produces an unstable voltage, it is recommended to additionally install a stabilizer.

What is the power, performance and lift height of the pump?
Power is set in watts and shows its performance per unit of time. If in the country it is necessary to use several water supply points at once (watering the garden, shower, toilet, faucet in the kitchen), then it is better to choose equipment with high power. The disadvantage is the significant consumption of electricity by the device.

Maximum productivity is measured in liters per hour and indicates the speed and amount of water supply per unit of time. The higher the score, the greater the pressure.

The required maximum lift determines the pump outlet pressure. That is, if this parameter is 30 meters, then water will not be supplied above this indicator. It should be noted that the pump performance decreases with each meter of lift.
