Pumping station for a summer residence: rating of affordable and efficient equipment

Submersible pump or pumping station - which is better

Submersible pump - deep equipment. Its engine is not subject to overheating due to constant cooling by groundwater. It features quiet operation and an excellent dynamic level at a depth of more than 8 m.Unlike the station, for the further distribution of liquid, the mechanism needs additional equipment (pressure gauge, hydraulic accumulator, etc.).

The pumping station operates on the surface and consists of a pump, a pressure switch and a hydraulic accumulator. It is noisier than a submersible and only provides stable pressure when working to depths of 9 m.

View	Advantages	Flaws
Submersible pump	Silent operation	High price
Lifting water from great depths	Difficulty in maintenance and parts replacement
Long service life
Descends into narrow wells
Pumping station	Relatively low cost	Less service life
Compact dimensions	Dependence on water purity
Easy assembly and dismantling	Noisy work
Availability of maintenance	Dynamic operation at water levels up to 8 m

For the operation of equipment at a water level of up to 9 m, it is better to choose a pumping station. It has a membrane tank that will protect against water hammer and keep a reserve supply of fluid in the event of a power outage. In the case of a lower depth indicator, a submersible device would be a good solution. It will provide great performance.

How does a pumping station work?

A pumping station is a complex of devices consisting of a pump, a hydraulic storage tank with a rubber or membrane liner, a pressure switch and a control panel.

The principle of operation of the station is quite simple. The pump pumps water into the hydraulic tank, here the water is under a certain pressure, which depends on its amount and the volume of air in the tank. As water is consumed, the pressure in the accumulator decreases.

A properly adjusted pressure switch detects the change in the amount of water.When the minimum setting value is reached, the relay turns on the pump so that the hydraulic tank is filled with water. As the tank fills, the pressure increases, the relay fixes its maximum level and turns off the pump.

The cycle of switching on and off is repeated in such a way that there is always an amount of water in the tank that can meet the needs of the residents of the house.

This system is highly efficient. For example, if the plumbing was connected directly to the pump, the equipment would have to be turned on every time someone opened the faucet.

The basis of a pumping station is a pump of any system, but most often of a centrifugal type. Its operation is controlled by pressure sensors and a hydraulic accumulator equipped with an elastic membrane that reacts to changes in the volume of water (+)

The presence of a pumping station with a hydraulic tank allows you to reduce the number of pump on / off to the required minimum. This significantly saves the resource of the equipment, prolongs its service life. Since the water in the hydraulic tank is under pressure, a good pressure can be created in the entire plumbing system of the house.

An acceptable indicator is usually about 1.5 atm, but it can also be raise if necessary. Separate household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, Jacuzzi bathtubs, hydromassage shower cabins) simply cannot work without sufficient pressure in the plumbing system.

The pumping station effectively solves this problem.

This diagram clearly shows the device of a pumping station and the principle of operation of such equipment: water enters the hydraulic tank, which is filled automatically (+)

If for some reason access to water is limited or absent (pump failure, a sharp decrease in well flow rate, etc.), the water supply in the hydraulic tank will be very useful.

Water can be used for some time until access to water resources is restored. If a pump is used instead of a station, turning it off automatically deprives all residents of the house of water.

How to install? Brief instruction

Before choosing one or another pumping station, it is necessary to find a place where it will be placed.

To do this, you need to know the following points:

• The device must be located near a source of liquid.
• Installation is carried out on a flat, dry, warm, well-ventilated place.
• It can not be placed next to walls and any other objects.
• The equipment must be freely accessible at all times.

After the place and the pump are selected, it is necessary to connect it to the pipeline system and other elements. Before starting, the pressure in the hydraulic tank must be checked and adjusted. When everything is ready, the station can be launched.

Procedure for the first start:

• Unscrew the valve / unscrew the plug that closes the water hole.
• Fill the pump and pipe (suction) with liquid.
• Screw the valve / screw the plug into place.
• Connect the device to the network, start it.
• Remove air from the system by slightly opening the valve.
• Let it run for a few minutes until water flows out.

If everything went well, then you should set up all the automation according to the instructions that are included with each device.

Do not forget that if you follow all the rules established by the manufacturer for each unit, then it will serve its owner for a long time without any breakdowns.

Types of pumping stations

The power of standard domestic pumping stations is up to 1200 watts. This value is enough for the needs of an ordinary country house, including watering a personal plot. More powerful are classified as industrial. The design of the station has the following elements:

Pumping station

• pumping device;
• check valve;
• water storage;
• pressure switch;
• power supply device.

The pump unit is the most important part of the station. All the capabilities of the equipment depend on its parameters. The pump can be submersible (during operation it is in the well) or surface. The second are divided into:

1. Self-priming with built-in ejector. They allow you to raise water from a depth of up to 45 m. However, they are not cheap and work noisily.
2. Self-priming with a remote ejector, which is mounted in the well. Quieter and cheaper. The height of the rise of water by such devices is greater, however, silt and sand have a great negative impact on its operation.
3. Centrifugal or vortex pumps without ejector. Designed for shallow sources, up to 10 m. Their cost is much lower than the others, and the need for electricity is less.

Centrifugal pump with external ejector

Pumps of the third category are usually chosen by the owners of those suburban areas where a large volume of water and powerful pressure are not required. If the water layer is deeper than 9 m, then it is more cost-effective to use a station with a submersible pump. The station can collect water in a storage tank or a hydraulic accumulator. The first is an ordinary tank with a float, it has a low cost and large dimensions. Due to low productivity, such a tank is now not very popular among owners of country houses, especially since hydraulic accumulators or hydraulic tanks have appeared on sale. These sealed tanks of compact dimensions are equipped with a pressure sensor and maintain its level in the system.

The device of a typical pumping station

A typical pumping station for a summer residence consists of the following main parts:

1. hydraulic accumulator (hydraulic tank with a membrane);
2. pump;
3. pressure switch;
4. manometer;

The device of a typical pumping station

Pump station hydraulic accumulator

A hydraulic accumulator is a hollow tank, inside of which there is a rubber pear, into which the pumped water enters.At the manufacturer's factory, air is pumped into the accumulator under pressure so that the rubber bulb shrinks. When pumping water into the pear, overcoming the pressure in the tank, it can straighten up and even inflate a little. Due to this mobility of the volume filled with water (pears), protection against water hammer is provided, i.e. when you open, for example, a faucet in the sink, the water will flow out of it smoothly, without sharp blows

This is extremely important both for the consumers themselves and for mixers, shut-off and connecting valves.

Nipple for pumping air into the hydraulic accumulator of the pumping station

The volume of accumulators varies from 1.5 to 100 liters. The larger the tank, the:

• there will be fewer starts of the pump for pumping water, which means less wear on the pump;
• a larger volume of water can be obtained from the tap, with a sudden power outage (about half a tank).

Station pump

The pump provides the main function of the station - it pumps water from one place to another. But how exactly they do it is an important question. The following types of pumps are used in pumping stations:

• surface pumps:
  • multistage;
  • self-priming;
  • centrifugal.
• submersible pumps:
  • centrifugal;
  • vibrating.

Surface pumps are installed directly in the pumping station, most often on a hydraulic accumulator. Submersible pumps are lowered under water, and they pump water into a tank at a distance.

Comparison of different types of pumps for a pumping station

Pump type	Suction depth	pressure	efficiency	Noise level	Installation	Exploitation
Centrifugal pump	7-8 m	high	short	high	away from home, remotely	difficult: it is necessary to fill the system with water
Multistage pump	7-8 m	high	high	normal	inside the house	difficult: it is necessary to fill the system with water

The main parameters for choosing a pumping station for a summer residence

If you plan to use a pumping station for sewage, i.e. drainage of fecal and waste water, then you will need special installations. P read, you will be a specialist in all pumps!

Pump station pressure switch

The pressure switch signals the station pump to start and stop pumping water into the system. It is necessary to set the relay to the limit values ​​\u200b\u200bof the pressure in the system so that it knows at what point the pump needs to be started and at what point it should be stopped. The standard values ​​​​of the lower pressure in the system are set to 1.5-1.7 atmospheres, and the upper ones to 2.5-3 atmospheres.

Pump station pressure switch

Pressure switch regulation

Remove the plastic cover from the pressure switch by unscrewing the fastening screw with a flat screwdriver. Inside you will find two springs and nuts that compress them.

Remember two things:

1. The large nut is responsible for the lower pressure, and the small one is responsible for the upper.
2. By turning the nuts clockwise, you will increase the boundary pressure to which the relay will be oriented.

By turning on the pumping station (Attention, follow safety precautions!), You can evaluate the values ​​​​of the upper and lower pressure limits set in the pressure switch using a pressure gauge

pressure gauge

A pressure gauge is a measuring device that shows the pressure in the system at the present time. Monitor pressure gauge data to adjust pump station pressure switch settings.

The pressure gauge of the pumping station shows the pressure in the water supply system of the cottage

Which pumping station is the best?

It all depends on which device to take as the basis for classification. For example, stations with a storage tank or a hydraulic accumulator are distinguished. The first type is already an outdated model. The tank takes up a lot of space, you still need to find where to install it, since it should be located above the station itself.

Water enters the faucet in such a system by gravity, so you can’t count on a good pressure. Also, be prepared for surprises. The tank full sensor may be broken. You will know about it when the water flows into the dwelling.

A completely different thing is a station with a hydraulic accumulator. As mentioned above, in this case there is always pressure in the system, which means that the water pressure is good.

Another classification of pumping stations is based on the principle of operation of the pump itself. Allocate stations in which the ejector is built-in, remote, as well as non-ejector devices.

Pumps with built-in ejector raise water by rarefaction. They are good because they will get liquid even from a depth of forty meters. However, such devices are by no means cheap and work so noisily that experts do not recommend installing them in the house. It is better to take the station to a separate room.

A station with a remote ejector can be installed in the house, because the pump, which creates the main noise, is lowered into a well or well. Two pipes are connected to it: one by one, the water goes down, creating pressure, which, in turn, leads to the emergence of a suction jet in the second pipe. The well from which the pump pumps water can be 20 or even 40 meters from the residential building.

The absence of noise and the low price are, of course, significant advantages, but such a unit also has a lot of disadvantages.Its productivity and power are low, and besides, it does not tolerate the presence of air and sand.

There are pumping stations in which there is no ejector at all and water is supplied not due to the fact that the energy of one medium is transferred to another, but according to a completely different principle. Such devices have lower power consumption, and they do not create any noise. You understand that this affects the price.
