Supplies of clean water is the most important domestic needs even more than electricity. Such areas affected by natural disasters, such as earthquakes, where the plumbing and electrical networks broke up, people prefer the fulfillment water than electricity.
Water is the main requirement of households. In addition to vital needs such as drinking, cooking, washing, bathing and other purposes such as bike or car washing, watering plants and ponds.
Maybe in your house into a network tap. But what is reliable? Distribution network has spread to many homes, and then arrive at your house so that water coming out is not sufficient. Maybe even just running at midnight only.
To meet the daily water needs in a home, we usually need at least 1 piece of water pumps to distribute water from the source to the entire point of water (water source can be either a well or cistern below). To facilitate the consumption of water, we usually build a water tower with a certain height. In this condition we suck the water from the water source below the pump to be stored on the water tower (water storage). Next to the water tower, we take advantage of gravity to keep water flowing through the pipe without the need to help pump again. For the needs on the floor under the system that might work well. But, for water on the second floor can be problematic because the force of gravity is low. Your home may require an additional pump from water storage to the point of water for several purposes that require a certain water pressure such as gas or waterheater modern washing machine. It could be that the gravitational force required pressure is not reached. These pumps are usually called booster pumps.
Today many types of domestic circulating pump on the market with different brands and types, made in Europe, Japan, Korea, China or the local production of handling a variety of uses.
To select a suitable type of pump is actually not too difficult, which is essential you have accurate information before buying. Without such information was not you who were confused, the seller would be confused to choose the pump that suits you.
If you intend to purchase or replace the pump in your home following these tips might be quite useful.
Tips for Choosing a Pump
- Water Depth.
Measure the depth of surface water from the soil surface where the pump will be installed. Information about the depth of the water surface is often wrong, because that is often given by the consumer is not the depth of the well depth of the water surface. You bury the pipe could have up to 30 m although the surface of the water depth of only 3 m. When the water source you will use is the old water source, you can measure yourself by entering the water levels nail tied with thread. Consider the possibility of reduction in surface water in the dry season, you can add 1-2 feet from the measurement of the rainy season. For this condition you can use deep well pumps type. - This type of pump.
For the depth of the water surface <7 meters, select the pump shallow wells, to depths of 7-9 m should wear the type of semi-shallow well pump jet pump. When the depth of the surface of your water source> 9 meters, then you should use a pump type water jet pump. By using this type of water pump, then the wells must have a minimum of 4 inch diameter, so Ventury jets can enter into the well. Characterize this type of pump has 2 holes inlet section. - Pump Specifications.
From the water pump specifications, you can compare the depth of the water surface with the suction power of information. Generally, the standard used by manufacturers of water pumps is the maximum depth of the water surface where water can be inhaled. Maximum is not necessarily optimal, because at maximum suction power, so you only get a 1 liter of water, within 1 hour. Of course this is inefficient. Example: Information suction power of the manufacturers specifications generally include 11 meters for this type of semi-jet pump while ideally at a depth of 7-9 m. - Voltage.
Choose a pump that matches the voltage in your house. - Power and Depth.
Shallow well pump-power 125 or 200 watts while the semi-power jet pump 100 or 250 watts, the greater power does not mean to inhale more deeply. Only affects the capacity. Example: With 200 watts of power, water capacity, in terms of volume of water released by the pump per hour, greater than 125 watts. Different from the pump manifold jet pump, a big power has more suction power in anyway. - Power Jet Pump Problem.
For the depth of the water surface to 12 meters, you can use a pump jet pump-power 125 Watt or 150 Watt. Information on product specifications from the manufacturer is generally called a suction power of up to 15 meters. For the depth of the water surface of more than 12 meters there is a standard benchmark that is generally already known to the artisan shops or the pump, namely: maximum depth of 15 meters is optimal for pump jet pump 250 Watt or 300 Watt, 18 meters for a 375 Watt power, and 20 meters for the power 500 Watt. More of a benchmark is generally the capacity of the water coming out of the water pump is not optimal to use a simple household once. Do not be fooled by the suction power specification information from manufacturers, which generally includes 30 yards to the pump-power jet pump 250 Watt or 300 Watt, 40 Watt meter to 375 defenseless, and 50 yards to power 500 Watt. If you have the depth of the water surface exceeds 20 meters, you are strongly advised to use a submersible well pumps manifold. - Altitude Tower.
To a height of how water will be channeled. For that you need to study the specifications of the pump. Usually called the Total Head. Thrust is also influenced by how the depth of suction power. Shorter suction power, power push its farther away. Therefore, try to put the machine with the well pump as low as possible. - Power House.
Select the appropriate pump with electric power at home. Keep in mind when starting the pump is always ± 1.5 – 2 times normal power. Specifications are usually written on the labels of input and output. For example the input (power on first start that lasted a few seconds) = 100 watts means the power consumption at start 1.5 to 2 times than that, while output = 0.25 kW (electricity consumption with load) power consumption is 250 watts. If your house 900 watts power, you can use a pump up to 375 watts, but may be considered to improve your 1300 watts of electrical power, because when combined with other electronic and electrical devices can be less. To consider when you choose to use a pump-power> 500 watts. Because of this special type of power is required at the start is 3 times the normal power, so be 1500 watts. - Circuit breaker.
Select a bike pump equipped with a thermal protector or circuit breaker, which serves to cut off electrical currents when the load is excessive pumping. Thus, the pump will automatically stop if it’s too hot so it does not burn. - Debit per hour.
Note the capacity of water indicated on the label specifications. Calculate your home water needs per day, how much discharge is expected. Surely you do not want the pump to work all day, right? With the same electrical power, select a pump which has a larger capacity, such as sump pumps, so filling water into the water storage more quickly and save on electricity consumption. - Choose a pump with a soft voice.
For this first test of the selected pump. When his voice rough, ask the store to replace it with another. Rough voice showed irregularities or problems at the pump. - Your Budget.
It affects what brand to buy. Benchmark at point 5 & 6 above can be said to be the same for all brands, so helpless in the water pump but more expensive, does not mean having a better suction power. The difference in price on each brand, more on the quality of the motor windings, which affects short term pump life, quality of materials, motors and electronic components as well as after-sales service. Whether it’s the cheapest class brands such as Pompe, Airlux, and others, brands such as middle-Shimizu, Wasser, Panasonic, DAB, DABAQUA, MULTIPRO, and others, even upper-class brands such as Grundfos, Pentax, Pedrolo, Sanyo, Hitachi. So choosing the appropriate brand depends on the budget and brand preference you have. Select a pump from a trusted brand, provide after-sales service in your city with spare parts is guaranteed. Be careful with the pump fake because the quality is not guaranteed and can not be repaired if damage occurs.
