One of the main issues that owners of suburban areas have to deal with is how to ensure water supply for watering plants and for domestic needs. To cope with this task help pumps for water to give.
Booster pumps for water in the country
Many summer residents are familiar with the problem of low pressure in the pipeline. In order to ensure a normal head of water, a pump is designed to increase the water pressure at the dacha. It has a small size and weight, so it can be placed directly on the pipeline. Also, the advantage of the pump is its quiet operation, which allows it to be located anywhere in the house.
Booster pumps can have two modes of operation: manual and automatic. Pumps for water for cottages with automation are equipped with a built-in water flow sensor and work depending on its readings. When the water flow becomes above 1.5 liters per minute, the pump automatically turns on. If the water flow decreases, an automatic shutdown occurs.
Pumps with manual mode are not tied to the flow sensor and operate continuously.
Hand pumps for water at the cottage
The use of hand pumps for water is important in holiday villages where electricity is intermittent or where there is no permanent source of electricity.
Hand pumps are of three types:
- Reciprocating . They are used in the case when you need to pump water from a depth of not more than 7 m. The design of such pumps consists of a cylinder in which the piston is located. A piston valve is mounted in the piston, a disc valve is located at the bottom of the cylinder. When the piston is lifted up, the lever is lowered down, an airless space arises in the pipe to raise water. At the same time, water rises into the cavity of the cylinder due to the formed vacuum. When the lever is understood upwards, the piston is lowered, the disc valve closes and water enters the cavity above the cylinder.
- Rods . They are used for pumping water from a depth of more than 7 m. They are similar in their design to piston pumps. They differ in a longer cylinder, so that water can be extracted from large layers.
- Winged . With their help, you can get water from a depth of up to 9 m. Pumps can be used in areas with salt water, as the details of their body are made of bronze. The design assumes a body, a wing of four valves, a lever, a shaft with a seal, a suction part and a lid. Under the action of the lever, the wings rotate, as a result of which the suction and return of the water flow take place.
When choosing manual pumps, their technical characteristics must be taken into account:
- productivity - the ability to deliver for a certain time any amount of water (liters per minute);
- head - the maximum height at which the pump is capable of supplying water.
In the event that a power supply system is well established in your holiday village, water pumps for cottages with automatic equipment will suit you.
Types of pumps for water for cottages depending on the power source
Depending on the availability of electricity or lack of electricity, the pumps are divided into:
- Oil-fueled - work from an internal combustion engine, which can be gasoline or diesel. They can be used in places where there is no electricity.
- Electric, which can only work when there is an electrical system. Pumps of this type are two-phase or three-phase.
Thus, you can equip the dacha with the most suitable pump, the most suitable for your needs.
