Choosing a water pump for a well

In the private sector, the issue of home water supply is often fundamental to ensure comfortable living. Constant interruptions with the supply of water, or even a complete absence of water - this is not a complete list of those problems that a person can face in such a case. But if you decide to spend money on a well, then most of these troubles can safely be forgotten.

But in doing so, you need to choose the "right" water pump for the well, which will largely depend on the stability of your home-grown water pipe. What are the nuances of this choice? How to choose such equipment, focusing on their needs? You will learn about this from our article.

To begin with, it needs to be said that today the industry produces many types of pumps, so there is no need to choose their position from this position.

Types

Of course, there are a huge number of models, but all of them can be divided into household and professional. Let's talk with you about everyday varieties, as the cost and functionality of professional models at home is often not in demand. In addition, a water pump for industrial wells is characterized by large dimensions and an "appetite" for electricity consumption.

If we talk about wells, then in this situation, most often we have to lift water from a depth of more than a dozen meters. In this situation, the injector water pump is ideal. It can pump out water without any consequences for its resource, even from a great depth, while others (external and submerged types) are often simply burned from the load.

It should be noted that each water pump for the well has a detailed instruction in its set, which must be oriented when selecting. Please note that all the figures that are given in it are an indicator "spherical in a vacuum". In simple terms, they show performance under ideal conditions, so when making a purchase, make a discount of 10-15%, getting more real information.

Performance

It is for these basic information that you can judge whether a water pump is suitable for a well in your home. The volume of water that can be pumped in a minute is indicated as l / min or m³ / hour.

It is also important that the water pressure, which just shows the height at which water can be lifted by a specific pump model. Both of these indicators depend on the pressure that the water pump can provide for the well. The price of it also largely depends on this indicator (the simplest injector pump can be purchased for about 15 thousand rubles).

The final determination of the capacity you need comes from taking into account the number of members of your family, the characteristics of the well, the absence or presence of the need for irrigation and other factors. For example, let's say that a family of 3-5 people will be provided with water in a normal volume, using water pumps for wells "Aquarius" with a capacity of 3-4 m³ / h. If it is a question of a summer residence on which you live only from time to time, it makes sense to buy equipment, which productivity is two times lower.
