How to choose a quiet pumping station for a private house

Silent pumping stations for water supply for a private house do not create discomfort for a person and have excellent performance. With the help of such equipment it is possible to achieve uninterrupted water supply in a suburban area by ensuring the transportation of water from a well or a well.

The device and principle of operation of the pumping unit

When choosing a pumping station that meets the standard set, you should know what this unit is and what it has components.

• The accumulator is one of the main parts of the pump. Prevents the occurrence of water hammer in the case of the first supply of water to the tank.
• Surface pump. With its help, water is taken from the well.
• Electrical engine. The design is connected via an electric wire to a pressure switch.
• Monometer is a tool for monitoring the pressure of a pumping station.
• Pressure switch. It has automatic adjustment, starts spontaneously when the pressure in the tank drops, and turns off when it is the required limit.

The accumulator usually comes with a tank of different sizes. Mostly 50-500 liters. Depending on the size of the water tank, the operating time also changes. To fill the reservoir of 200 l, the station will take 30-40 minutes. After the tank is full, the engine is idle.

The principle of operation of the installation is based on several stages:

1. When the structure is connected to the mains and the operating mode is started, the pump starts pumping water into the system. First of all, the tank that comes with the kit is filled.
2. Upon reaching the pressure in the tank of 2.5 Atmospheres, the pump is switched off and is in this state until the tap opens on the water supply.
3. As soon as the pressure in the tank drops to 1.5 Atmospheres, the pressure switch starts the pump and tank filling continues.
4. After closing the drain valve, the pump runs until the accumulator is full.

As a result, the pumping station comes to standby until the next drain.

Criteria for choosing silent pumping stations for a private house

Presence in the autonomous water supply area saves from unforeseen situations. A silent pumping station for a private house will be relevant if frequent interruptions in water are observed in the area. To get quality equipment, you need to consider some of the nuances of choice.

• Noise level is an important parameter for devices that are installed on the territory of a residential building. Its indicator should be no more than 30-45 dB.
• Power unit. This indicator is taken into account without fail depending on the area of ​​the house, which should be fully serviced by the pump construction.
• Characteristics of the well. Depth, diameter, static water level and other parameters should be considered when choosing a pump for the home.

The strength and reliability of the housing, as well as the integrity of the electric cable are no less important factors that should be considered when buying a household pumping station.

Mounting Features

Silent pumping station requires a neat and experienced installation. At this stage, it is important to correctly connect all the components and ultimately it is imperative to check the operability of the structure. To perform the installation, you must follow the instructions.

1. Having decided on the location of the structure, it is necessary to correctly place the station so that the outlet and inlet of the inlet and outlet openings are directed to the pipeline.
2. It is necessary to fasten the structure to a special bracket, while the installation should not be in contact with the wall. On the supports that hold the fasteners, you need to put gaskets.
3. The entrance to the station is equipped with a special adapter. It is fixed to the incoming end of the pipe coming from the trench. Next, the pipe is connected to the valve.
4. The output of the pumping station is organized as follows: a pressure switch and a hydraulic accumulator are switched by means of a hose of the corresponding diameter.
5. Fine filters are connected to the relay using tubes, and a stationary water pipe comes to the filter output, which leads to the house.
6. The pipe in the well shaft is locked with a special shutter. This is done so that the water collected by the pump does not drain back.
7. Be sure to put on the end of the pipe, which is located in the well, a strainer. It will prevent the penetration of silt and earth into the water supply.

The silent pumping station has special insulation that suppresses most of the vibrations transmitted by the pump. Therefore, this unit can be placed in the basement or on the basement.

Advantages and disadvantages

Any equipment, including domestic pumps, has a number of advantages and disadvantages. They must be studied at the stage of device selection. Benefits:

• independence from main water supply;
• the possibility of using a clean source without impurities of chlorine and other chemical elements;
• The device is reliable and high performance.

Among the shortcomings, intolerance of fine fraction sand to the pumping station should be highlighted. If its particles get into the motor, it may fail.
