The owners of a country house often face the question of water supply. If the family consists of three people, and the house and plot are small, and are used only in the summer, then an ordinary household pump can handle the delivery of water.
However, if it is necessary to provide the family with liquid during the year, as well as for summer watering of plants, it will be necessary to create a water supply network. A household pumping station will be a great helper in this matter. It will allow you to quickly and conveniently provide the house with water.
Any pumping station is capable of independently pumping water from a source and delivering it to any point of water intake. In addition, the device can become an intermediary that increases pressure in the system. If the power of the main pump (deep or surface) is not enough, then a station can be connected to it through a hose.
Units have advantages over conventional surface or deep devices. Firstly, devices during a power outage are capable of some moretime to work, or a diesel pumping station can be used at all.
The device is able to create the necessary pressure for the full water supply of the house and site. It is lightweight and can be installed anywhere. The station works with periodic shutdowns and inclusions, which reduces equipment wear.
The device of the unit is not very difficult for people who are at least a little versed in technology. The main component of the design is a surface pump equipped with an ejector. This element allows you to raise water from a depth of 10 meters, delivering it to the desired point. The power of the entire station depends on the surface pump. A suction line leaves from it to the source, at the end of which a grid and a check valve are placed.
The pump is equipped with a steel pressure tank, which has a closed structure and consists of cavities separated by a membrane. One of them contains water, and the other contains air under pressure.
The pressure tank is designed to protect the entire structure from water hammer. It allows water to accumulate in one of the cavities, which creates the opportunity for the pump to rest. When there is a power outage, water continues to flow into the system. Because of this property, the device is called a hydraulic accumulator.
In addition, pumping stations for water in their device have a pressure switch that turns off the pump whena pressure drop below a critical level, as well as when it rises to a predetermined value. A manometer allows you to control all parameters. All components are interconnected using pipes and fittings.
When self-connecting, the pumping station must be installed on a flat surface, preferably on a concrete base. After that, the unit is rigidly fixed using rubber shock absorbers. To connect the device to the water supply system, you can take polypropylene pipes.
