Pump for watering the garden, types, operating conditions

The garden requires constant attention. From the quality and periodicity of irrigation, the entire work of the amateur horticulturist depends. Previously, what tricks did not resort to gardeners to provide their plants with sufficient moisture. Used watering cans, buckets. Water had to be carried from rivers, ponds and streams. Most of all lucky for those who had a well on the site, and the presence of a large capacity for the accumulation of water reserves was considered top of the perfection of the irrigation process. Filled barrels and tanks made it possible to resort to a wicked method of supplying water or a method of gravity flow.

Progress does not stand still. The pump for watering the garden has become a habitual tool that facilitates the life of an amateur gardener. What kind of such equipment is most acceptable for you? To answer this question, we will consider the types of existing pumps, the required operating conditions, the necessary location and other parameters that ensure normal operation.

The garden pump for irrigation is divided into two types, which differ installation of equipment in relation to the water source:

• surface;
• Submersible.

Surface pump for watering the garden means the location of the unit near its source. The water intake is carried out by means of the attached hose. The submersible pump is located directly at the source.

The permissible depth for water intake by a surface pump is up to 10 m, submersible - 30-40 m and more, depending on the capacity of the device. The efficiency of the equipment is related to the height of the water rise. The deeper the water intake, the more powerful the engine should be in the apparatus.

Both types of pumps depend on the power supply. If your garden or garden is away from the mains, there is a possibility of failure in their operation, if access to the power lines is partially or completely absent, in such cases you need a motor pump for watering the garden. Motor pumps provide autonomous operation on gasoline or diesel fuel. Their advantages include mobility and simplicity in operation.

Advantages of the surface type of equipment is that such a pump for watering the garden does not need a stationary installation, it is lightweight, compact, can be located near any source of water intake and moved to the right place. Manufacturers, developing additional options for new models (ejectors, hydraulics), made surface devices especially popular for irrigation and watering of personal plots. It is necessary to ensure that the parts of the mechanism do not freeze.

Submersible pump for watering the garden - more powerful unit, able to get water from great depths - has a good cooling system, highly efficient. It requires an annual seasonal installation and dismantling, which somewhat complicates the use. The presence of the unit in the water ensures quiet operation.

In one way or another, both submersible and surface pumps are convenient mechanisms for watering personal plots. Which one to choose, you decide. You can add that the use of pumps significantly facilitates the work of an amateur horticulturist and helps to get a good harvest.
