The body of the device is made of stainless steel, and water can be taken from a depth of up to 10 meters. Productivity - 8100 liters per hour.

Makita PF1110

They are classified as powerful and convenient pumps, since the intakes in such devices are located at a height of 50 mm. The disadvantages of users include a plastic pipe, which can be damaged during operation. This model is budgetary, but it effectively copes with pumping water from cellars and reservoirs.

Quattro Elementi Drenaggio 1100 Inox

Relate to the most efficient household pumps. The capacity is 300 liters per minute. This compact pump makes no noise during operation, and its power consumption is 1.1 kW.

KARCHER SP 5 Dirt

Can be attributed to the best pumps. Capable of pumping water with impurities up to 20 mm. The float switch provides automatic operation. The pump is easy to carry thanks to a special handle and has small dimensions.

Metabo SP 28-50 S Inox

They belong to the best pumps, as it has a high performance and is able to work with a liquid in which there are fractions up to 50 mm. Due to this, this pump is used by some site owners as a fecal pump, although it was not created for this. The pump power is 1470 W, and the performance is 460 liters per minute.

GARDENA 20000 Premium Inox

It is a powerful pump capable of pumping up to 20,000 liters per hour. The maximum size of particles dissolved in water is 38 mm. The device can be submerged to a depth of 7 meters.The only drawback that users note is unreliable plastic on the base and lid.

Marina SXG 1100

A pump designed to work with heavily contaminated liquid, which contains fractions up to 35 mm in size. It cannot be used to completely remove liquid, since the intake is located high. To remove all the water, it is necessary to place the device in a recess.

The liquid lifting limit is 8 meters. At a height of up to 2 meters, the model pumps out 18 cubic meters per hour. But such low rates are justified by the fact that the device is able to work with large fractions in the liquid.

You won’t be able to find a universal pump, but the ideal model for a particular area is quite realistic. To do this, you only need to take into account the conditions in which the device will operate, as well as determine the tasks that it will solve.

The main criteria - how to make the right choice?

Among the many characteristics, it is worth highlighting a few main ones that you should pay attention to first of all when choosing a pump:

Purpose of the pump

Watering from a polluted reservoir, drainage of basements and wells, sewerage drainage, cleaning of a reservoir and so on. Each possible application has different optimal options, differing in design and allowable size of solids. It should also be taken into account that surface pumps cannot be used if the depth of the water surface exceeds 5 meters from the installation point of the device.

Required performance and head

Performance is selected based on the volume of tasks that will be assigned to the pump.

When choosing a surface pump, it is necessary to take into account its inability to work for a long time without interruption. The required pressure is calculated by summing the height of the drain above the water surface and 1/10 of the length of the horizontal pipes to the drain.

For example, having a well with a water surface depth of 5 meters, and a distance to the sewerage system of 50 meters, we obtain the required minimum head of 10 meters. For greater reliability of the drainage system, it is advised to take pumps with a pressure of 30% more than the calculated one.

Internal mechanism

Electric pumps for contaminated water are strongly recommended to be taken with a centrifugal type suction device. The centrifugal force inside such pumps not only ensures the movement of water in the right direction, but also throws solid particles from the blades to the body, preventing their rapid wear.

The presence of an automatic float and electronic switch

Float switches are designed to maintain a given water level in the tank. This allows you to automate the process of replenishing a water tower or draining excess sewage levels.

However, a float switch is not always enough, if it is necessary to pump out the water completely, electronic switches are used that are triggered by a few centimeters of water and turn off the pump when the water runs out. It is desirable to have at least one of the indicated types of switches in order to prevent the pump from running without water.

Surface pumps must be equipped with overheating protection.

The presence of an automatic relay and a built-in float

High-quality drainage pumps are equipped with an automatic relay to protect against engine overheating and dry running. Such a constructive element is necessary if the owner of the equipment does not have the opportunity to constantly monitor the work, and if the amount of work is too large to be carried out without interruptions.

The presence of a float switch will help the submersible pump automatically maintain the water level in the tank within the established limits.

Performance

Pump performance is measured in liters per minute or cubic meters per hour, before buying a pump, you must calculate the maximum required speed for pumping water.

You also need to remember that the excess performance of the pump is achieved by reducing the pressure or increasing the power consumption, so for domestic needs it will be much more practical to take a medium-capacity device than an expensive and uneconomical industrial device.

Maximum water pressure

Dirty water pumps are not normally used to deliver water at high pressure, but to pump water that is well below the level of the drain, or the drain is at a considerable distance from the reservoir, you will need a pump with the appropriate pressure.

For example, a submersible device with a head of 10 m can lift water 10 meters and pump it 100 meters horizontally. The abundance of solid particles reduces the output pressure of the device, therefore, when buying, it is recommended to choose models that are 30% more powerful than necessary.

Maximum allowable particle size of contaminants

Each pump specifications list the maximum solids size it can handle, from 5mm to 50mm. Too large particles are retained by the grid at the inlet.

A larger particle size is usually associated with an increase in power consumption, weight and cost of the apparatus, so this issue must be approached based on the tasks assigned to the pump. For irrigation, 5 - 10 mm will be enough, for pumping out a cellar, reservoir or well - 20 - 30 mm.

It must be remembered that conventional drainage pumps are not capable of pumping liquids with fibrous impurities, a fecal pump will be necessary for this.

How to choose a fecal pump

The passport of the sewer pump for giving contains a lot of technical characteristics. And all of them must be considered when choosing this technique. The first indicator is the operating temperature of the pump, i.e. drain temperature.

Pumping equipment for sewage can be:

1. Designed to work only with cold and warm water up to + 450C.
2. Designed for pumping wastewater with temperatures up to +900C.

To pump out water from the cellar and fecal sewage from a street septic tank, a pump of the first category is sufficient. But for uninterrupted functioning as part of a forced sewage system with a mass of plumbing in a country house, you will have to select a model from the second group.

Automation, chopper and body material

Constantly monitoring the status of the fecal pump and managing its operation manually means wasting your time. The cottage is always full of activities. Therefore, the technique should be immediately selected with a float and a thermal relay. The first one will control the level of effluents in the pumped out pit, turning off / off the pump as necessary, and the second one will prevent the motor from overheating.

Some fecal pumps are able to handle solid waste and pebbles without a grinder, but only the presence of a cutting mechanism guarantees such a technique a long service life.

Structurally, the grinder is made in the form:

• two-bladed knife;
• impellers with a cutting edge;
• combined mechanism with several blades.

The impeller is the cheapest chopper option, but pumps with it have the lowest performance. A knife with a pair of blades located perpendicular to each other is more reliable and productive. However, the most advanced is the combination of three cutting blades and a perforated disc. Passing through such a grinder, solid fecal fractions are converted into a homogeneous ground mass.

According to the material of the case, it is best to choose a pump for pumping sewage in the country from metal. Stainless steel and cast iron will last many times longer than plastic. This nuance is especially important for submersible equipment, which is constantly in dirty waters that are aggressive in composition.

Lift height, power and power supply

The higher the performance indicated in the passport, the faster the pump will pump drains. However, the more it will consume electricity in this case. A cesspool in the country is rarely made voluminous. Often, a not too powerful and productive unit is enough to work in a summer cottage.He will pump out the drains not in 5 minutes, but in 20, but there is nowhere to rush outside the city.

The best option for giving a pump in terms of power is 400–500 watts. This is a performance in the region of 140-160 liters / minute. Such performance characteristics will make it easy to cope with pumping sewage from a drain or cesspool, and getting rid of excess water in a country cellar.

The pressure figures show the maximum height to which the pumping equipment through the pressure pipe is able to lift liquid with feces. But when calculating this indicator, it is necessary to take into account not only the vertical section of the highway, but also the horizontal

Plus, it is necessary to take into account the atmospheric pressure, the material of manufacture and the cross section of the pipes, as well as the temperature of the effluents and the size of the impurities in them.

In a simplified calculation of the required pressure, the footage of the horizontal section is divided by ten and added to the length of the vertical pipe section, and then all this increases by 20–25% - the resulting figure must be less than that indicated in the data sheet

Some models of sewer pumps are designed to be powered by a single-phase network, while others are powered by a three-phase one. The first group is cheaper. As a rule, it is recommended to choose just such a fecal pump for giving. It will cause less problems with connecting to the mains. And if necessary, it can be powered from a portable generator.

Chinese pump - Herz WRS 40/11-180

Herz WRS 40-11-180

It is very powerful (energy consumption - 1.5 kW) and heavy unit (weight - 31 kilograms). But the performance of this device justifies everything. After all, the Herz WRS 40/11-180 pumps almost 20,000 liters per hour (330 liters / minute) from a 10-meter depth, and the pressure of this unit is 23 meters.

Cleaning and deepening the well with drainage pumps

It happens that the well after many years of operation accumulates less and less water. This factor causes great inconvenience, especially during the hot summer period. True, we should not forget that the accumulation of water is often a seasonal factor. In winter, the water level always decreases, and in spring and autumn it increases significantly due to the thaw and frequent heavy rains. But sometimes poor accumulation of water is due to the fact that silting occurs at the bottom.

Recognizing silting is easy enough. You just need to look at the water level and its condition more often. The presence of grains of sand in the water, of course, indicates siltation and the need to apply emergency cleansing measures. There are many ways and options for cleaning the bottom of the well, but the main goal is the same - to achieve a good accumulation of water. It is best to further deepen the pothole by one concrete ring. Such a measure will improve the accumulation of water, get rid of subsequent problems with silting.

Before cleaning, it is necessary to carefully prepare and have everything available (concrete ring, drainage pump, buckets, shovels, strong rope, flint stones, etc.). The procedure is carried out by at least two people, a reliable drainage pump is used.

The work of cleaning and deepening the well must be carried out quickly and in stages. The main thing is to remove the structures above the rings so that they do not interfere, get to work.

• Using a drainage pump, pump out as much water as possible from the well.
• Install a ladder that will allow you to descend to the bottom safely.
• Remove all silt and clay from the bottom of the well to the waterproof layer (it is a hard and dry clay). It is better to do it with a bucket. It is better to lift it with a rope.
• As water appears, remove it with a pump.
• Gradually dig out the first ring. The earth is removed (usually it is clay) with a bucket.
• When the upper ring reaches a height of 20 cm above ground level, you need to install an additional ring (adhesive solution can be used to securely fix the rings together). At the time of installation of the ring, no one should be in the well.
• Now the lower ring of the well is dug out until the upper ring settles to the desired level.
• The bottom must be leveled, the water must be constantly removed with a drainage pump.
• Using a bucket with a rope, flint stones are lowered into the well, which are tightly and neatly laid on the bottom with a layer of at least 30 cm. The flint stones do not allow the bottom to silt. They, forming a kind of filter, thanks to which they perfectly purify the water.

This method of cleaning will increase the accumulation of water. Flint stones perfectly purify water, making it more useful.

Fecal pumps

Drainage and fecal submersible pumps are similar, but there are still some fundamental differences. Not every drainage pump will cope with thick fecal masses, since the main specialization of these pumps is to work with water. To empty the septic tank, you will need a special fecal pump that is capable of pumping thick and viscous masses with solid impurities. The particle size can reach 50 mm. To increase the productivity of pumping out a thick mass, a chopper is provided in the pump, which is located in the lower part of the housing. Fecal pumps are very durable, their body is resistant to chemically aggressive environments and is usually made of stainless steel or cast iron, there are inexpensive plastic models.

Fecal pumps are submersible and surface. If you live in the house permanently, then it makes sense to install a solid stationary pump made of stainless steel. For a summer cottage with seasonal living, a lightweight surface pump design is suitable. It can be used if necessary, and take it with you for the winter.

Among consumers, it is submersible pumps that are more popular because of their higher power and ability to pump out slurry with large particles. Here is a list of the most popular fecal pumps:

• "Dzhileks Fekalnik 255/11 H 5303";
• "Irtysh PF2 50/140.138";
• Ebara DW M 150 A;
• Ebara Right 75 M/A;
• "Dzhileks Fekalnik 150/7N 5302".
