For a comfortable life in a country house, it is important to have an autonomous water supply. To this end, the master prepares a well or well. Water supply is carried out by a correctly selected pump station. One of the popular brands of injection equipment is the German Metabo. At the same time, from the entire model range, you can choose the unit according to the most suitable technical characteristics.
The principle of operation and device pumping stations Metabo
Like all pumping units of the Metabo station, the following main operating units are available:
- pressure switch, ensuring continuous operation of the unit;
- pressure gauge for monitoring station performance;
- accumulator - storage tank with a built-in membrane;
- centrifugal pump with blades made of durable polymer.
The pump unit works in this way:
- A thin ejector tube helps the pump absorb water. The tank is completely filled until the pressure in it rises to the maximum set.
- The pump shuts down. The system has a supply of water.
- When you turn on the tap in the house, the fluid leaves the accumulator. From this, the pressure in the tank decreases.
- As soon as the lower value reaches the set value, the pump turns on and pumps water into the accumulator.
Station operation cycles are repeated without changes.
Lineup and Specifications
Despite the fact that all modifications of Metabo stations are assembled in China, the Germans (brand owners) carefully monitor the quality of their products.
Metabo HWW 5500 | 20 G
The model refers to medium power units. The station building is made of cast iron. Productivity is 3.3 m3 / hour. Weight - only 16 kg. Power - 1.5 kW. Head - 55 m. Maximum working pressure - 5.5 bar. The volume of the tank is 24 liters. The height of the liquid rise is up to 9 m. The model successfully pumps water with small inclusions (up to 5 microns). The unit has a separate water filling hole, which simplifies the launch of the station. Additionally, the model is equipped with durable o-rings. This increases its service life.
Metabo HWW 4000 | 20 GL
The model has the following specifications:
- productivity - 4 m3 / hour;
- suction depth - up to 9 m;
- head - 48 m;
- power - 1300 W;
- maximum pressure - 4.8 bar;
- the volume of the accumulator is 24 liters.
The station, with its high power, consumes electricity very economically.
Metabo HWW 4000 | 20 S
The following technical indicators are inherent in the Metabo station:
- power - 1.3 kW;
- productivity - 4 m3 / hour;
- head - 48 m;
- weight - 17.2 kg;
- storage tank volume - 24 l;
- case - stainless steel.
The unit is equipped with a stainless steel drive shaft. As a result, internal mechanisms are protected against corrosion.
Metabo HWW 9000 | 100 G
One of the most powerful models. It is capable of pumping 9 m3 of water per hour at a power of 1.9 kW. Head - 51 m, suction depth - 9 meters. The maximum working pressure is 5.1 bar. This model of a pumping station is often used to organize autonomous water supply to several objects at once. Moreover, the installation is capable of pumping water with the inclusion of small impurities (up to 10 microns).
Metabo HWW 4000 | 20 S Plus
The installation case is made of stainless steel. The station can be operated even without a special room for it. Depth of absorption of water - up to 8 m; pressure - 48 meters; unit power - 1300 W; productivity - 4 m3 / hour. The volume of the storage tank is 24 liters.
Features of operation and maintenance
Like most stations, the technology of the German brand Metabo is sold ready to install. Even an inexperienced master does not have difficulty with its installation and connection.For more reliable operation of the equipment, it is recommended to immediately install a coarse filter on the inlet hose.
Due to the fact that the automation of the station ensures its reliable operation, the master may not disassemble the unit annually. The system itself regulates on / off cycles. The manufacturer recommends avoiding freezing of the installation. Therefore, it is better to arrange a special caisson under it if the station is supposed to be operated in winter.
When using the equipment only in the summer, during off-season, it must be disassembled, drained, lubricated and cleaned in a dry room.
Metabo Product Reviews
Judging by the reviews of the Metabo pumping stations, German installations work without failures, are easy to connect, do not require special maintenance.
Nikita, 32 years old. Metabo 3000 took over a family of two in a one-story house. Initially, he set a pressure of 4.5 bar. The system works like a watch. There is water in the taps, even if the wife washes the dishes in the kitchen, and I take a shower. The station is in the basement. Not much noise. Satisfied.
Yura, 37 years old. A year ago, he took the German Metabo HWW 4000/20 S PLUS unit at the insistence of a friend. Not a mistake. There are enough installations for irrigation and water supply to the cottage (family of 4 people). Installed by myself. Everything is simple there. The main water immediately pour into the system. Under the unit, I prepared a special rubberized platform so that it would not vibrate. But I see that it would work quietly anyway.
Anton, 35 years old. Metabo took the station when he bought a cottage. I use it purely for watering in the summer, so that I do not carry water with buckets. I’ve been operating for the third year, no breakdowns or failures have been detected. For the winter I clean the garage. Pre-lubricate rotating work units.
