Pump for pumping water from the basement: overview, characteristics, choice

One of the important devices for giving is a pump for pumping water from the basement. After all, it often creates a huge number of problems that can adversely affect the building above it. All this with bad care can cause huge damage to your property. It is worth saying that this problem can extend not only to private sectors with cellars, but also multi-apartment city houses.

Why does water cause trouble?

Most often in the basement of the problem arise due to such reasons as:

• Melted liquid;
• Lack of depth of water;
• precipitation;
• No drainage system;
• The building is located on a slope.

Therefore, a pump is required to pump water out of the basement in the presence of the listed factors. In addition, the liquid can be removed by other improvised means.

How to pump out water?

The method with the use of improvised adaptations is very complex, time-consuming and time-consuming. That is why it is better to use a pump to pump out dirty water, so you will do everything much faster and without extra efforts. It is very important to choose the right device. Types of pumps are different. For example, drainage structures are appropriate if the pumped water has a minimum of impurities. But pumps of fecal type can be used to get rid of liquid of different degree of pollution.

Types of fecal equipment

The pump for pumping water from the basement of this type also has its own modifications. There are four basic groups:

• The most budgetary faecal pumps that are used for cold drains. There is no grinding device in them. It is best to use for storm or drainage canalization.
• Installations for the cleaning of sewerage systems with a high waste water temperature without a chopper. They are used for bath and shower rooms, as well as for waste from the work of washing machines and dishwashers.
• Pumps with a chopper for cold drain. Are applied in the majority of sewerage taking into account temperature to 40 degrees.
• The most expensive are devices with a chopper for hot drains. Used for bathing complexes, public premises with high humidity. For private households are almost not used because of its high cost.

Classification by type of installation

Each pump for pumping water from the basement differs from the other in the manner of installation, not only for its intended purpose.

For example, surface-type installations can be used in pumping sewage plants or cesspools. They are mounted on the surface, and a suction pipeline is placed in the drains, with a depth of 4 meters maximum.

A submersible pump for pumping water has good pressure properties, some models can pump drains with a depth of up to 100 meters. In terms of layout, they are divided into vertical and horizontal, set them on the bottom of the sediment bowls, using the guides. To date, these are the most demanded designs on the market.

Also in recent years, more and more popular is the semi-submersible model. It is placed at the top of the drain using float systems. The device of the pump of this type does not assume the presence of a chopper, therefore the scope of its application is limited. Most often they are used in precipitation or groundwater storage .

Differences of the fecal pump from the drainage

The construction of the sewage (sewer) type is always equipped with a chopper, capable of grinding the contaminants and turning them into a homogeneous mass.

A drainage pumps for pumping water, which, as was said above, are submersible and superficial, must be chosen depending on the depth. Submersible structures are very easy to install, the main thing is to properly ground them and pick up a hose that would match them in length and diameter.

Features of self-priming structures

To equip a good system of water supply of an autonomous type in the country or countryside, it is best to choose products of a special type. Such a self-priming pump can lift water from a depth at a short distance from the fence, passing through itself.

On the market there are many models and modifications of products of this type, while for home use with them must be familiarized. After all, some types of pumps can be approached in this or that way, but not in the other.

Quite often they include a membrane or storage tank. Such equipment is considered a full pumping station.

Classification

The self-priming pump can be equipped with an integrated or external ejector. In a similar construction, the liquid rises when it is discharged. Ejector pumps are very noisy, so they are recommended to be located away from living quarters. At the same time, their key advantage is that they can lift water from the depths of about 10 meters. The feed pipe is lowered into the source of the fence, and the pump is also placed nearby. Such a layout of the installation will make it easy to control its operation.

The second type of self-priming pumps is without an ejector. The liquid here rises through the use of a hydraulic device with several stages. Noise such designs do not publish, but are inferior to the first kind in terms of the depth of the fence.

When using a self-priming installation, it is very important to install a protection against dry running, otherwise it may break.

Differences of centrifugal structures from vortex

The pump for pumping water from the basement of the centrifugal type is equipped with a spiral housing. It rigidly fixed the wheel on the basis of discs with blades. They are bent to the sides, opposite to the direction of the main movement. The pump with the pipeline is connected by means of a branch pipe with the required diameter.

Centrifugal installations can have several impellers, but this does not affect the principle of operation. The fluid in any case will move under the action of the force that appears as a result of rotation.

Vortex pumps are designed for pumping both the water itself and mixtures based on liquids and air.

Oxygen is absorbed into the body by vacuum, and then everything is mixed. When both components of the mixture enter the working chamber, they separate from each other due to their differences in terms of densities. The air leaves the supply line and the water is recirculated. Then, oxygen is removed through the suction line, and the body is filled with liquid. After that, the pump starts to work.

How to choose the installation?

For a product such as a pump for pumping water, the price is not the most important factor for selection (the cost can be from 2 thousand rubles for the simplest models and higher). Be sure to specify in what conditions it can be used before purchase. In particular, find out the depth of the clarifier, then decide on the pressure. The productivity will depend on the volume of the drains, this too should be paid attention.

When buying the pump most common for suburban dive type needs, consider the following:

• The body of the product must be made of cast iron, steel or plastic, also good when it contains sealing seals resistant to chemical attack.
• If you want to purchase a pump with a chopper, then its quality should be paid special attention. Be sure to see what the impeller looks like, which is used as a cutting element. Many experts recommend choosing those models where a special knife is installed on it. Thanks to this, the best performance is ensured, and you can also pump more storm and faeces. If there is no such knife on the pump, but there is just a sharpened edge, the price will be lower, but some components will become more difficult to grind.
• Pay attention to the power of the unit. It is better to choose those models that have a margin of at least 30 percent for this parameter. Thanks to this, the pump will be able to work in almost any situation in normal mode and not be overloaded. In addition, it will significantly increase its service life.
• If you want the installation to work automatically, you need to choose models equipped with built-in control systems. Their peculiarity is that they start to function on their own, when the level of runoff in your settler reaches a certain index. All this is very simple and does not need expensive repairs or maintenance. But experts still recommend not to save when buying models of this type and give preference to products of famous brands, rather than questionable cheap devices of unknown origin.

We also need to remember that regardless of the chosen model and its modification and type, the efficiency of the pump depends not only on all of the above, but also on its installation. On it, too, you can not save, do it yourself with your own hands better when you have experience in this matter. In other cases, it is better to entrust this kind of activity to specialized specialists.

It is not worthwhile to economize on installing the pump to pump out drains. Thanks to this decision, you will rid yourself of the need to call for sewerage equipment. And even the most expensive installation can pay off in just a couple of seasons.
