Water pumps Caliber help to solve the problem of water supply of a summer cottage. Satisfying consumer demand, the manufacturer launched the production of equipment with various technical characteristics in the appropriate price categories, ranging from inexpensive models for irrigation to powerful pumps, the operation of which replaces the centralized water supply system.
Scope of submersible pumps Caliber
In suburban buildings, artesian wells, natural reservoirs or wells act as a source of water. The aquifer can be located at a depth of more than 40 m. Caliber pumps can pump water from this level. They can be centrifugal and vibrating. The models of the first group have great productivity and power, therefore they will provide water in volumes that are more than sufficient to solve household needs and watering.
By purpose, the pumps Caliber can be divided into several groups:
- well;
- downhole;
- drainage;
- pumping stations.
The Caliber CBF (household vibrating) range includes 7 models; they are used to lift liquids to a small height for irrigation and other household needs. Pumps of this series are lightweight (2.3-5.5 kg), do not take up much space and have a low cost, so it is easier to buy a new device than to repair a device that has become unusable. Store them in dry rooms at positive air temperatures.
Caliber CBF consume power 210-300 W, their productivity is 7-12 l / min., Lifting height 40-70 m. A convenient cord allows you to connect to a power source at a distance of 10-40 m. The package includes a clamp and a cable from kapron. The water supply hose is not included in the price of the device and must be purchased separately. During operation, the pump should be located at a distance of 50 cm from the bottom.
The NBC Caliber range (centrifugal) also includes 7 modifications; they are designed for lifting water to a height of 25 m from wells and wells. The housing can be made of the following materials, which is reflected in the marking:
- stainless steel (N);
- cast iron (H);
- plastic (P).
To increase the suction height from 30 to 60 m, the Caliber centrifugal pumps are equipped with an ejector for water intake. The cost of popular models varies between 1000-3500 rubles. They have a high capacity of 29-55 l / min. The ejector increases the flow of fluid to 80 l / min. The power of the devices is 380-900 watts. Installing the pump no higher than 6 m above the water level, since the maximum possible suction height is 7–9 m. Through the opening in the housing, the suction line is filled with liquid.
Caliber SPC (submersible) - universal devices that can pump both clean and dirty water. A series of drainage pumps includes 15 models. These include fecal pumps, which are used to pump heavily contaminated water with particles up to 1.5 cm. They have a cast iron housing.
Pumps of this series at the request of consumers are used for the following types of work:
- clean water intake from drinking sources;
- pumping groundwater to prevent waterlogging of the site;
- maintenance of ponds, artificial reservoirs, pools;
- watering the garden;
- irrigation of green spaces;
- pumping water from flooded rooms and tanks.
The scope of their application is cold and hot water supply and sanitation systems, sewage treatment.
Pumps in a plastic housing are easier to transport. More powerful devices are placed in a stainless steel case.This type of device cannot be used for pumping seawater, flammable liquids or solutions containing chemical compounds that cause corrosion.
Model Overview and Specifications
According to the purpose, you can choose a universal submersible pump with the necessary technical characteristics.
Caliber NPC-750 / 35N
The device is used for water supply, pool maintenance, groundwater pumping and drainage of basements. A centrifugal pump pumps clean and contaminated water. It is connected to a 220 V outlet, the power consumption is 750 W, it has a capacity of 13 m3 / hour. The maximum head is 8m. It is allowed to pump dirty water with particles of 3.5 cm. The float monitors the level of immersion, in a critical situation a signal is sent from it to shut off.
Caliber NPTSS-1,5 / 65-750
A well pump lifts water from great depths to 65 m or from open sources. It is used for pumping only clean liquid without clay deposits, garbage inclusions and substances that cause corrosion. Sand limit to 100 g / m3.
Power consumption of the device is 750 watts. A small capacity of up to 1.5 m3 / hour allows you to serve the summer cottage. The pump is immersed in water up to 5 m, has a cable length of 15 m. The device is part of the pumping station, the monitoring of the operation is carried out automatically.
Operational Features
Timely preventive inspection will increase the service life. It consists in examining the integrity of the power cord, cleaning the suction port, removing trapped air, checking the health of the non-return valve.
Well pumps should not be used when pumping viscous substances or contaminated water with fibrous or large inclusions.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Caliber Pumps
The main advantages in low cost, light weight, functionality without expensive options. Protection against overheating occurs due to the temperature of the pumped liquid. By increasing the lifting height, productivity is reduced. Warranty covers 12 months.
Reviews about the submersible pump caliber is ambiguous. Couplings of an eccentric shaft, which cannot be purchased on order, cause a lot of complaints. This single movable element is a weak link in the design.
Customer reviews
William: We bought a well pump NPTSS-1,2 / 50 for watering the garden. The diameter of the device is 90 mm. It can be used only in the summer, as the water in the hose freezes at minus temperatures. The term of use is 2 years, from early spring to late autumn. The device copes with its purpose perfectly, supplying water through a 30 meter hose. He worked silently until he rusted. The cost at the time of purchase was 3 thousand rubles.
Sergei: Our acquisition - NPC-550 / 35P at a cost of 1.5 thousand rubles. It works in the summer for 3 years. Used to pump dirty water from a well, threw a 40 m watering hose to the garden. Performance is slightly lower than stated. I'm going to buy the same pump for watering a potato field.
