Borehole pump "Aquarius" - characteristics, internal structure, connection and minor repairs

Main differences from other models

Choosing the products of this manufacturer, you can be sure that it is made using only environmentally friendly materials, such as:

1. Steel;
2. Brass;
3. Food plastic.

This guarantees the purity of the pumped water and excludes the possibility of any impurities entering it.

Another difference from similar devices is the high efficiency of Aquarius pumps. They consume a small amount of electricity during operation and are resistant to power surges.

Dividing the body into two compartments prevents the engine oil used to run the motor from entering the water.

Pump "Aquarius" for giving

The Aquarius pumping station gained particular popularity among summer residents only a few decades ago, when a new Ukrainian company, Promelectro, entered the market for septic tanks, drainage systems and pumping stations.

Due to the decent build quality and relatively low cost, Promelectro managed to get the positive attention of millions of summer residents not only in Ukraine and Russia, but also in the neighboring CIS countries

Aquarius deep pumps are capable of taking water at a distance of 20 to 200 m from the surface of the earth. At the same time, the company offers budget options for 1 plot, as well as more powerful ones - up to 3-4 plots, depending on their total total area.

Advantages of Aquarius pumping stations

Why users prefer this particular brand:

1. The depth of water rise - unlike most models of the budget class (for example, the same Belamos, the maximum level of water rise does not exceed 30 m), while the Aquarius water pump is able to get water from the bottom of the well, the depth of which is about 180 m ;
2. The Aquarius well pump belongs to fully submersible models with reliable electrical insulation, for which water is a cooling medium;
3. Despite the comparative cheapness, it is in no way inferior to more expensive foreign pumps;
4. Depending on the technical characteristics of the Aquarius pump, the price range is in the range of 5-25 thousand rubles with small errors in both directions;
5. The range of Aquarius centrifugal pumps is distinguished by the most powerful devices in its price category. Even the smallest and least powerful pump for a well and a well, Aquarius, is capable of delivering a maximum head of a column of water of 70-80 m, capable of providing water to a small family of 2-3 people;
6. When purchased from an official supplier, submersible pumps are supplied complete;
7. With impressive power and high performance, the Aquarius deep pump does not have a high level of electrical energy consumption, which also allows it to remain in the top of sales among domestic analogues;
8. When purchased from an authorized supplier, warranty service is included. However, problems with self-repair of the device should also not arise.

Disadvantages of the lineup

Unlike European analogues, the electric pump cannot boast of full automation and absolute noiselessness in operation, and it is not equipped with all kinds of protective options, such as protection against overheating of the device. Therefore, you will have to systematically monitor how the device works, and whether it has overheated.

What is

What does the design of an electric pump look like in a section

The structure of submersible well models of pumping stations from different manufacturers is approximately the same and includes:

1. multi-stage sector for increasing fluid pressure;
2. electric motor;
3. filter;
4. condenser box.

The pumping unit, or rather the impeller, is responsible for the performance of the station: the larger it is, the more water flows at a time.

How the machine works

Features of the device:

1. To transport water up the well shaft, a sufficient level of pressure in the tunnel is required.In the submersible apparatus, pressure is created due to the operation of the paddle wheels, which are connected to the engine through the rod shaft;
2. The filter provided in the water station does not allow small debris and sand to pass along with the liquid. Its installation is necessary in two cases: firstly, the filter field protects the pump itself from rapid wear, and secondly, it supplies water without impurities;
3. Submersible pumps do not create vibrations, unlike vibration stations, therefore, they do not scoop sand from the bottom along with water. As practice shows, even with timely care of the device, the average operating life of a centrifugal pump exceeds the mark of 10 years, while vibration models barely survive the warranty.

Accessories

For the first time equipping a well for transporting water for domestic needs, it is necessary to purchase the following equipment:

1. Hydraulic accumulator. Depending on the number of regular consumers, a model of 100-120 liters will be enough for a family of several people;
2. Underwater cable;
3. Upper bearing part of the well;
4. pressure gauge;
5. Pipe for outdoor use (connects the pump and tank);
6. Pressure switch.

Pressure gauge for pumping station

Often, users additionally purchase another cable with clamps, noting some fragility of the one already supplied with the pump.

Installation and connection of Aquarius pumps

Like all submersible downhole electric pumps for individual water supply, BTsPE is designed to work as part of a water supply installation complete with the main components of standard pumping stations: a hydraulic accumulator, a dry-running and pressure switch, a pressure gauge, a filter.

Before putting the unit into operation, perform the following steps:

1. connect the pump using an outlet to the electrical network, while making sure that the power cable is intact;
2. connect the outlet pipe of the electric pump to the pressure pipeline using transitional couplings, the pipe must have a diameter of 1 inch;
3. tie the cable to the ears of the upper cover of the unit, using insulating tape or plastic clamps, connect the water pipe, cable and electric cable together with a step of 1 - 2 meters, avoiding tension on the latter;
4. the electric pump is lowered into the well, fixing the cable and the pipe on the head, while the depth of its immersion under water should not exceed 10 meters at a distance from the bottom of 40 cm.

During operation, it is necessary to ensure that the electric pump is completely lowered into the water, and that the power cable is unwound.

• The pump is intended for pumping clean water only.

Benefits of using Aquarius vibration pump:

On the official website of Vinnitsa you will find a full range of Aquarius vibration pumps.

Device

The submersible device looks like an oblong capsule with a small diameter - only 10-16 cm. Other models from the Aquarius 0.32 line may have a smaller diameter.

A submersible pump will work by rotating or by forcing water inside the housing. After the water is fed up the pipe and enters the system. They produce a product from stainless steel, thermoplastic and other alloys.

Submersible models are divided into a number of subspecies. According to the principle of operation, they are divided into centrifugal and vortex models, screw and vibration products. The first 3 types are very similar to each other. They differ only in the way they raise the liquid:

• Aquarius centrifugal devices apply centrifugal forces of rotation of a number of small rotors at once. The rotors pump water, then run it into the pipes in the form of a spiral and actively inject it into the hose. This is the most demanded variety of this type of product.
• The vortex submersible device forms a normal vortex in the chamber, which helps to raise the liquid to a certain level. In terms of pressure, they are often equal or slightly inferior to centrifugal devices, but in terms of pressure they are much ahead of them.
• Screw devices use powerful, but primitive-looking screws that pump fluid and feed it upward.

The vibration device is already a model of a completely different type. Even the vibrating product looks different than other designs. Its body is larger and not elongated. It works due to the rotation of the engine of a special tool inside the device - this causes multi-frequency vibration. The vibration effect in the chamber will be transferred to the water and stimulate its flow. In this way, it is possible to raise the water to all the required levels without the use of augers, impellers, screws or anything like that.

The vibration product is inferior to the first three varieties in terms of application efficiency, but it is much cheaper, more unpretentious in operation and will not break when in contact with a dirty liquid.

According to the type of immersion, devices are divided into:

• standard;
• deep.

Conventional models dive to a level of up to 50 m. Well, the deep versions of the Aquarius can work at marks from 60-80 m deep or slightly lower.

Surface models do not have many subtypes and are used only to service small wells. The problem is that with a head of 25-30 m they can pump liquid from a depth of up to 10 m. But not every well can have such a high level. Consumer reviews indicate that the surface-type pump is as reliable and convenient as possible in operation, but its technical characteristics and serious operating noise are negative qualities.

Deep pumps "Vodoley" - characteristics, price and quality

The range includes devices of various capacities. The prices vary according to the characteristics, and this correspondence is absolutely justified. The quality is always excellent, and the cost is minimal.

For the purchase to be expedient, you need to buy such a pump for a well that will allow you to pump out water and transfer it through a pipeline to the house without additional equipment. Therefore, the depth of groundwater is the main criterion for selecting a model.

30 meters. Pumps for wells "Aquarius", installed in the well of the Abyssinian basin, supply liquid suitable for irrigation or use for technical purposes to the surface. To be able to use it at home, you need to install a multi-stage filtration system. The price of low-power pumping equipment is minimal and affordable for everyone.

50 meters. Water from wells to sand can be used to solve domestic problems. It goes through natural sand filtration, but for drinking it is necessary to pass it through a filter. The power of such equipment is higher and commensurate with the cost.

80 meters. This category of pumps is also suitable for sand wells. Only from this depth water is supplied after deep natural filtration. Therefore, it is suitable for hygienic procedures.

100 meters.This is the minimum boundary of occurrence of artesian water. It is clean and suitable for cooking. Therefore, multi-stage cleaning is not required.

150 meters. At this depth, limestone occurs. And the aquifer contains crystal clear water, which is enriched with mineral compounds and macronutrients beneficial to human health.

Repair and cleaning

In most cases, the blade shaft stops spinning when silt, sand, dirt or clay clogs into the working chamber and blocks it. The advantage of the water pump "Aquarius" is that the blockage can be eliminated independently, without contacting a service center. To do this, you will have to perform the following steps:

1. Remove the protective metal mesh. In older models, it is fastened with screws. In the new ones - with clamps that need to be unclenched with a screwdriver.
2. Disconnect the electric motor. Structurally, the working chamber and electrical equipment are located in various parts, which are fastened with bolts.
3. Directing a jet of water at the mud blockage, clean the blades. In this case, with the help of a spanner key, it is necessary to periodically turn the shaft.
4. Assemble the pump. Assembly is carried out in the reverse order to that described above. Connecting to the mains is the last step.

Before starting work, the electric water pump is disconnected from the power supply. If there is damage or destruction of the wheels, the pump part of the unit is disassembled. It is better to entrust this procedure to specialists from the service center, since the process is laborious and requires deeper knowledge of design features.

If this is not possible, do the following:

• With force squeeze the body along the longitudinal axis. The emphasis for the press is a brass element installed at the end of the structure.
• Take out the retaining ring.It will expand as soon as the body is compressed. For this you will need pliers.
• Take off the wheels. This must be done in such a way as not to damage the bearings and blades. The job requires precision.
• Eliminate the cause of jamming and assemble the pump. Assembly is carried out in reverse order. If necessary, worn parts are replaced with new ones.

To disassemble the mechanical part, you will need a press, which not everyone has. It may be easier and safer to turn to specialists and entrust them with repairs that are guaranteed to be completed successfully.

Selection and installation of the pump

The Kharkov plant "Promelektro" under the brand name "Aquarius" produces units:

• ground-based;
• deep drainage pumps (for dirty water);
• borehole pumps for drinking water.

You can distinguish them in the catalog by marking.

Submersible pumps can provide water for both one house and an entire neighborhood.

Marking and popular models

We are interested in pumps Aquarius BTsPE (household centrifugal submersible electric pumps). It is easy to understand the marking, for example, let's take the Aquarius BTsPE 0.5-100U 60/150 pump:

• 0.5 - means productivity, the number of liters per second (l / s);
• 100 is the height of the water column during normal operation, measured in meters;
• 60 is also a performance characteristic, but already when operating in overload mode, it is measured in liters per minute (l / m);
• 150 is the height of the water column in overload mode.

When choosing a borehole pump Aquarius, you can use the schedule.

Aquarius BTsPE pumps are divided into 4 areas in terms of performance:

1. BTsPE-0.32 l/s,
2. BTsPE-0.5 l/s,
3. BTsPE-1.2 l/s,
4. BTsPE-1.6 l/s.

Plus, each direction has its own lineup. On average, the price of household units ranges from 7,400 rubles to 27,000 rubles. (prices are current for spring 2017)

Often in a country house or a well is being drilled in the country sand, in such wells the flow rate (productivity) is limited, therefore it is better to take Aquarius BTsPE-0.32 here. In this niche, 9 models with different technical characteristics are presented.

Technical characteristics of the BTsPE-0.32 model range.

Units of the Aquarius BTsPE-0.5 series can also be used for sand wells, but the productivity of such wells must exceed 3 m³ per hour. There are 8 models in the line.

Technical characteristics of the BTsPE-0.5 model range.

Units of the Aquarius BTsPE-1.2 series are not suitable for wells with low productivity.These units are installed on artesian wells - they are placed on several houses at once. The line includes 8 models.

Technical characteristics of the BTsPE-1,2 model range.

Aquarius BTsPE-1.6 pumps are closer to the industrial version. If we talk about private houses or cottages, then these borehole pumps are installed on 1 powerful artesian well and provide water to a whole garden partnership or a small area.

Technical characteristics of the BTsPE-1.6 model range.

Self-assembly

Calling a specialist to install such a pump in a country house, firstly, will cost a pretty penny, and secondly, it makes no sense, you can do everything yourself.

The instructions are quite accessible.
