Features of borehole pumps "Vodoley"

Maintenance and repair

Deep pump

But, despite this, experts insist that the unit must be periodically taken out and audited.

First of all, an external inspection of the device is carried out. It also needs to be cleaned up.

To do this job, you need:

• remove and clean the protective grid;
• remove the cable channel and the motor;
• lay the unit and rinse it with a hose;
• assemble in reverse order.

Specialist note: when disassembling the device, do not use physical force, as this can damage its parts.

Minor repairs can be easily done by hand. The main thing is to correctly determine the cause, buy the necessary spare parts and know the principle of troubleshooting.

Varieties of Aquarius pumps

The developer and manufacturer of Aquarius pumps is the Promelectro company (Kharkov, Ukraine).

The device has a cylindrical body, divided into two parts: in the first there is an electric drive, in the second - a working chamber with a pressure mechanism.

The latter is of three types:

1. Centrifugal:
   Aquarius centrifugal pumps are multistage, that is, their discharge mechanism consists of not one, but several impellers (impellers). The pumped liquid successively passes through all stages, acquiring additional energy at each of them. As a result, it is possible to achieve a high pressure, which is equal to the sum of the pressures of each stage. An electric motor is used as a drive for a centrifugal pump.
2. Vortex:
   Aquarius pumps of this type, with significantly smaller sizes and power, allow pumping water with the same pressure as centrifugal multistage pumps. But due to the low efficiency (on average, only 34%), such units are not used in everyday life, their purpose is to solve specific problems in industry.
3. Vibrating:
   pumps of this group differ from centrifugal pumps in a simpler design and smaller dimensions. The engine and pump compartments are separated by an elastic membrane, which, in fact, is the injection mechanism. The drive is an electromagnet, which, by means of an alternating magnetic field, causes the rod connected to the membrane to oscillate.Due to the movement of the latter, the volume of the working chamber either increases (liquid is sucked in), or decreases (liquid enters the discharge pipeline). At the beginning of the cycle, the valve of the suction pipe opens, and the discharge valve closes; when pumping, the position of the valves is reversed.

The disadvantages of vibration pumps are low pressure, as well as a strong impact on the bottom and walls of the well, as a result of which the dirt and sand present on them form a cloudy suspension.

All Aquarius borehole pumps, regardless of type, are suspended with the engine compartment down.

Pump cleaning and minor repairs

Sometimes it happens that the device stops rotating and the owner is faced with the question of how to disassemble the Aquarius pump. You should be aware that the device does not have an internal filter, and a mesh that traps stones and coarse sand is installed outside, between the pump part and the engine. Therefore, if rotation has stopped, most likely the reason lies in damage or clogging of the impellers. If the blockage is minimal, you can try to deal with the problem yourself. Cleaning is done in stages:

• You need to remove the protective mesh. In new models, it is attached with a special clip, which can be opened by prying it with a screwdriver and slightly pressing it in the middle. On older devices, there are two ordinary screws that can be easily unscrewed.
• On wide models of pumps, the cable channel is additionally removed - a small metal groove that protects the cable from damage.
• The engine is separated from the pump part by unscrewing four bolts, you need a 10 key. Then the plastic couplings are removed, which transmit the engine force to the pump.
• The disassembled structure is very carefully laid on a horizontal surface so as not to damage the cable.
• Then you need to try to turn the shaft with a 12 head or a socket wrench, while holding the top of the device with your hand. As soon as the shaft moves, you should immediately direct a jet of water into the pump part to try to wash out the particles that have stuck the device. If everything worked out and the shaft rotates freely, we thoroughly flush the pump, after which we assemble it in the reverse order.

If the impellers are damaged, disassembly of the pump part is indispensable. Experts recommend entrusting this operation to service workers, since replacement of damaged parts will be required.

Experts recommend repairing the device in a service environment

Quite often, the owners of the device, stating the cessation of rotation of the axis in the pump section, believe that the bearing has jammed. However, the single plain bearing located in this part cannot jam. This is a problem with impellers, which will most likely need to be changed.

If you have spare parts, you can try to repair the Aquarius pump with your own hands. For this you need:

Strongly squeeze the case from below and from above, resting against the brass element of the lower part of the device.
Carefully remove the retaining ring with narrow-nose pliers, which is held in a special groove and loosens when the housing is strongly compressed.
Remove all impellers one by one, then the thrust cover with bearing.
Remove jamming and reassemble everything in reverse order.

It is worth noting that under service conditions, disassembly and subsequent assembly of the pump is carried out using a special press.Therefore, it will be extremely difficult, if not simply impossible, to perform operations at home.

It is safe to say that the Aquarius centrifugal pump is a practical, simple and effective device for supplying water in an autonomous water supply system. If you follow all the requirements of the instructions for its operation and regularly carry out maintenance, it will serve flawlessly for a long time.

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.

Scope of application

It can be obtained in a volume of up to 96 liters every minute. At the same time, the depth of the aquifer can reach 150 meters. The latter characteristic allows Aquarius pumps to extract water from wells.

Considering the main operational parameters, the scope of the Vodoley borehole pumps includes:

1. Drinking water supply from an artesian well.
2. Extraction of water from a well on sand.
3. Arrangement of the Abyssinian sources.
4. Pumping water from a well.
5. Transportation of fluid through a pipeline.
6. Organization of watering and irrigation.

Aquarius pumps are not intended for processing of alkaline and acidic aqueous solutions, chemicals, contaminated liquids and viscous substances.

1 What are the features of Aquarius borehole pumps?

A well pump can be of different varieties and designed to serve different sources. However, his task is always the same - the constant and uninterrupted supply of fresh water to the house.

As a rule, the well pump can be submersible or surface type. The submersible sample differs in that it is mounted directly in the well. The submersible pump is located there all the time as long as a person needs to operate it. If you need to repair or update the device, you will have to pull the submersible pump out of the well.

Surface models are much more convenient in terms of operation. Their repair and maintenance is extremely easy, since the device is located in a separate room. However, they do not have rather low specifications. So, a surface pump is able to pump out well water up to 10 meters deep.

In some cases, its characteristics can be improved by connecting and adjusting the injector. Then its maximum power will increase by another 2-5 meters. But this is still not always enough. Not to mention some more features that we will mention a little later.

The convenience of borehole pumps is that it is quite possible to install and operate them with your own hands. Moreover, you can even repair equipment with your own hands, although everything is not so simple here.

The role of the borehole pump in the water supply system is very important. That is why the products of the Aquarius brand line are so popular in the market. Moreover, it does not matter whether we are considering a submersible, vibration, deep or surface pump. In any case, the functioning of the system is simply impossible without it.

The simplest connection diagram for a submersible pump

The pump pumps water directly from the source. He also supplies it to the system or storage tanks. It is the characteristics and quality of this equipment that determine the condition of the entire water supply system.

If a person decides to install good automation for himself instead of a conventional hydraulic accumulator, then here the role of the described equipment increases even higher. Since the pressure in the system will directly depend on the submersible pump, which otherwise could be regulated by the pressure in the storage tanks.

A submersible or surface pump is also used in industry, however, Aquarius products are better suited for domestic use, use in the country, small farms or enterprises. Their characteristics are simply not designed for use in large industrial enterprises.

The Aquarius water pump, if it copes with such a task, will not be able to withstand the maximum load for a long time. For such purposes, it is better to buy specialized equipment.

Calculation of water supply of a private house

In order to correctly calculate the water supply system of a private house, it is necessary to determine the required water consumption for household needs. It must be remembered that the need for water in a private house is not constant and depends on the season. Sometimes in the summer, water consumption can increase 4-5 times compared to other seasons.

With autonomous water supply to houses, 2 water supply schemes are most common:

• The water supply of a private house is carried out from a well using a submersible pump.
• Water supply of a private house from a well is carried out using a pumping station.

When choosing a pump for a private house water supply system, it must be remembered that it must meet certain conditions. You need to know how deep the water will rise. According to the areas of application, all pumps for water supply at home are divided into two groups:

• submersible - with a depth of water rise over 8 m;
• surface - the depth of water rise up to 8 m.

Submersible pumps are used to lift water from artesian wells, and are also used in deep wells. These pumps are located at great depths - up to 200 m, so submersible pumps for the water supply of a private house must be very reliable. The cost of repairing this can reach the cost of acquiring a new one. The water may contain sand, which has strong abrasive properties, so the water supply of a private house should be carried out by a submersible borehole pump made of high-quality stainless steel and modern composite materials.

Installation of pumps in the well nuances of the process

First you need to decide on the type of pressure pipeline of the autonomous water supply system and carry out the main preparatory work at the top:

• A flexible watering hose is suitable only for domestic purposes: watering the garden and filling water storage tanks, while you can easily and often get the pump;
• A plastic (HDPE) or metal pipeline is suitable for permanent stationary operation, in which the pump will be constantly lowered into the well.

The diameter of the pipeline must be selected based on the calculated flow rate of the pump, while the prerequisite is the selection of the inner diameter of the pipe, and not the outer one.

For domestic purposes, a 32 mm HDPE pipe with an internal diameter of about 25 mm is usually used, which is convenient to connect to 0.5 series pumps, which also have a 25 mm outlet pressure pipe.

A brass non-return valve must be installed on the pump discharge connection. If the pump is mounted at a shallow depth (up to three meters from the ground), then the valve can be placed on the discharge pipeline.

The borehole pump must be connected to the pipeline using a crimp or brass coupling of the appropriate diameter. Depending on the models used and the diameter of the pipeline, the cross section of the coupling can be from 1 inch to 1 ¼.

The head must be connected in the same way to the upper end of the pipe.

The power supply cable must be fixed to the pipe using special clamps. This will greatly facilitate the lifting of the pump from the well, and protect the cable from damage. The main thing to remember is that it is impossible to lift the pump by the cable, therefore it is necessary to mount it on the pipe with slight sagging to reduce loads.

It is necessary to attach a safety stainless steel cable with a cross section of 3 mm to the eye of the pumping part and connect it to the head of the well. It is permissible, but undesirable, to use a nylon cable.

After these works, it is necessary to cut the pipe and connect its end to the head using adapter fittings. Fix the head on the casing pipe.

Technical characteristics of the Aquarius submersible pump for wells

Water is the basis of human life, without it existence is impossible. Therefore, when starting to organize their housing, a person has long been looking for a source first.We live in a time when we don’t have to suffer like this, but connecting a house or a water site requires certain financial and physical costs.

For the organization of autonomous water supply, one cannot do without a pump. Thanks to the manufacturers of these units for wells and wells, you can choose a mechanism that meets the needs of clean water. It is only necessary to know some aspects of a successful choice.

Installation features ????

It is necessary to prepare a cable, a power cable, check the performance of the well (sometimes they are unknown if the drilling was carried out independently or with the involvement of an unofficial team).

Casing

First of all, it is necessary to determine the depth of the casing. it should run along the entire length of the well. Installing the pump in an open hole is prohibited, as over time the walls will collapse and permanently clamp the pump inside.

suspension cable

The length of the suspension cable must be measured in advance. For a more precise control of the level of immersion, it is recommended to make marks on it at 1 m (or 0.5 m) to ensure the most correct suspension in accordance with the technical requirements.

Then you need to calculate the length of the power cable. The kit rarely meets the real requirements of the well, so you need to purchase the right piece of wire in advance and attach it to the existing cable.

The cable is attached to special eyes installed on the upper mounting element of the housing.

check valve

It is also necessary to install a check valve on the outlet pipe so that when the pump is turned off, water does not start to leave the system into the well.

If all actions are performed correctly, the operation of the pump will be possible almost from the first minutes after descending into the well and connecting the power supply.

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

Deep pumps Aquarius 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.

Model range of submersible pumps Aquarius

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.
