Overview of Well Pumps

Well pumps, by definition, cannot be cheap and affordable for everyone. This is due to the fact that water has to be raised to a great height. The material of the body and other parts is constantly exposed to the negative effects of particles of silt and sand, and therefore must be durable. In search of a water supply system, Russian consumers often pay attention to a domestic manufacturer, for example, Vodomet water pumps, which combine high performance, power and affordable cost.

Scope of equipment

Vodomet submersible pumps from the domestic manufacturer Dzhileks are used in everyday life to carry out a water supply system and water supply from wells with diameters of 100 mm or more, as well as reservoirs, wells and other open water bodies. With their help transport water to the house and irrigate personal plots.

Thanks to the innovative design and floating wheels, the Vodomet PROF series pumps are capable of pumping water with a high concentration of solid impurities not exceeding 1.5 mm in size.

The principle of operation and device

For the manufacture of the case, the manufacturer used high-quality stainless steel. The upper access point is designed so that third-party objects do not penetrate into the housing.

The electric motor is placed in an additional sealed container filled with oil. This approach allowed us to level the negative impact of external factors, as well as protect the equipment from overheating and mechanical damage.

The device is oil-filled, asynchronous, a squirrel-cage rotor mounted on rolling bearings is installed in the engine. A thermal protector is also integrated in the stator winding to prevent overheating of the motor. In addition, additional cooling of the device is provided by water flowing through a special annular gap.

An important feature of the pump structure is the presence of floating impellers. Their distinctive feature is the ability to earn extra money. The efficiency of the pumping station depends on the size of the gap that the designers leave between the static and moving segments. The larger this interval, the more internal water leaks are inside the unit, therefore, the lower the efficiency.

Prolonged use of a borehole pump leads to wear of parts, which entails an even greater increase in clearance, and the efficiency drops even more. Floating wheels are able to control this process due to the ability to move in the axial direction.

Model range and technical characteristics of the Vodomet downhole pump

Numerous user reviews indicate that the products manufactured by Dzhileks LLC are one of the best in the Russian market. They produce several varieties of Vodomet downhole pumps according to the principle of operation: screw, vibration, centrifugal and vortex.

In order to correctly decide which pump is preferable to use in a particular case, the following should be considered:

• feature of the water supply system;
• place of installation;
• the principle of operation of the equipment.

It is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the model range and technical characteristics of Vodomet water supply systems in more detail.

Thanks to the design features, it is possible to quickly and easily eliminate malfunctions and perform preventive maintenance of the pumping station.

Immersion depth up to 30 m, flow rate reaches 40 l / h, maximum head 60 m, power consumption 520 watts.

Dzhileks Vodomet PROF 40/75

Electric centrifugal pumping station, which is installed for pumping, pumping or supplying water to the surface from reservoirs, wells, wells, large tanks and other sources. Most often used for domestic purposes: for a water supply system, irrigation of gardens and household plots. It is also allowed to operate the unit for supplying water from deep sand and lime wells, where a high concentration of solid particles is observed. The maximum diving depth of this type is 30 meters.

Advantages:

• strong case made of stainless steel;
• increased wear resistance;
• high-quality and environmentally friendly materials are used for production;
• optimal ratio of pressure force and water consumption;
• The design is equipped with a strainer and overheat protection.

The temperature of the pumped liquid should not exceed 35 degrees.

Consumption reaches 40 l / h, maximum head 75 m, power consumption 670 watts.

Dzhileks Vodomet PROF 55/35

This is a more powerful model of the Vodomet pumping station, in comparison with previous units. It is installed not only in cottages and in private homes, but also on construction sites. The model is characterized by excellent operational properties, so it is worth paying attention to customers who are not ready to overpay for high-quality equipment.

Advantages of Dzhileks Vodomet PROF 55/35:

• modern case design;
• the case is made of high quality stainless steel;
• increased wear resistance to mechanical and chemical influences;
• exclusively environmentally friendly materials are used for manufacturing;
• the pump is additionally equipped with a strainer and protection against overheating;
• the optimal ratio of the pressure head and the consumed amount of fluid;
• design, the feature of which allows to carry out maintenance and repair of parts without difficulty.

Immersion depth up to 30 m, flow rate reaches 55 l / h, maximum head 35 m, power consumption 460 W. The maximum permissible temperature of the working fluid is 35 degrees.

Criterias of choice

The performance of an autonomous water supply station depends on the compliance of water use conditions with the technical capabilities of the model used. Before buying, you need to conduct a thorough analysis of all the nuances of further operation. The following criteria will help you choose a downhole waterjet pump:

• possible immersion depth of a submersible or deep type pumping station;
• the diameter of the inside of the well and the volume of water consumption, the maximum number of starts per hour;
• water quality, the presence in it and the concentration of solid impurities (sand, silt, algae, etc.);
• pumped water temperature;
• set parameters and condition of the electric network.

Prices for the Vodomet submersible pump in the Russian market fluctuate in a wide range, due to the configuration features of each model. The cost of budget units starts at 7,000 rubles.

Features of installation and connection

After the completion of drilling and pumping, you can proceed with the installation of pumping equipment.Sequencing:

1. A pressure hose is connected to the equipment, which is connected to the power cable using clamps.
2. To fix the pump at a depth, a nylon cord or cable is separately purchased, the lower part of which is tied to the unit. There is a special eye in the case.
3. Lower the pump to the desired depth and the upper part of the cable is attached to the beam mounted on the surface.
4. The power cable is connected to the control center, a trial run is carried out.

If the kit did not have a coarse filter, it must be purchased separately. This will significantly extend the operational life of the pumping station.

Advantages and disadvantages

Submersible borehole pumps have several unconditional advantages:

• high power and productivity - it is possible to lift water from great depths;
• simple installation;
• compact size and quiet operation.

The disadvantages include certain difficulties in maintenance and repair. Due to operation in a humid environment, the equipment enclosure must remain airtight.

In order to avoid acquiring a fake, it is recommended to buy Vodomet borehole centrifugal pumps from authorized representatives or in specialized large stores. In addition, you should familiarize yourself with the attached documentation and warranty card. If you can’t choose the right model yourself, you can consult with the housing and communal services or Vodokanal staff.
