The lack of a central water supply is no longer an insurmountable barrier to providing water to private houses and summer cottages in the countryside. This issue is easily solved by installing wells or boreholes of varying depths on the plot of land, depending on the location of the aquifer. To create a pressure in the water supply network sufficient for the connection and constant operation of plumbing equipment, pumping stations for wells are used.

These compact units ensure the lifting of water from a depth of up to 20 meters and its uniform distribution under good pressure to all water consumption points in the house. Thus, a person does not experience any discomfort due to lack of water or its absence, unless there are interruptions in the supply of electricity. However, this problem can now be solved through the use of generators and mini-power plants.

Selecting the appropriate pumping station model

Operating principle of one-pipe and two-pipe stations

Depending on the type of suction pipeline device, all pumping stations can be divided into two groups:

• single-pipe;
• two-pipe (ejector).

For single-pipe stations, the water intake design is very simple, since water flows through one line into the pump housing. For two-pipe stations, the design structure is much more complex. But this equipment, having less power, is capable of lifting water from greater depths. This is achieved due to the fact that the water rises due to the vacuum created by the pump impeller, which increases due to the inertia of the water, which circulates in a circle during operation of the station.

Choosing a location for a pumping station

If possible, it is better to connect the pumping station to the well not in the basement of the house, but in a separate building on an area located away from the house. This will relieve people living on site from the noise that occurs when the equipment is operating. The room must be dry, since only in this case is the proper and safe operation of pumping equipment that depends on electricity possible.

In the technical room, the station is installed on a solid concrete floor or on a pedestal made of bricks or wooden blocks. Before installing the unit, it is advisable to place a rubber mat under it, which will partially absorb vibrations. The pumping station is attached to the base using anchors, which are driven into the holes provided in the legs of the unit.

It is better to install a pumping station that makes noise during operation in a separate room, located on a plot of land near the well.

If the water supply to your home is not from a well, but from a well, then the following material about connecting equipment may be useful to you:.

Self-installation and connection

The two outlets available at the pumping station are designed to connect it to the well and to the water supply system of the house. First, they begin to connect the unit to the well. To do this, take a polyethylene pipe, the diameter of which should be 32 mm. The pipe, of course, must be solid, which will eliminate the possibility of leaks. Therefore, it is better to buy a pipe with a small margin; if necessary, the excess can be cut off. One end of the pipe is lowered into the well, and the second is connected to a pump built directly into the station. If necessary, the polyethylene pipe is insulated using materials produced by Termoflex as insulation.

A metal mesh is attached to the end of the pipe, lowered into the well, which serves as a coarse filter. A check valve is also installed there, which is necessary to ensure that the pipe is constantly filled with water. Only in this case will the pump be able to pump water from the well. To secure the check valve and filter, use a coupling with an external thread.

The pumping station is connected to the pipeline using the second outlet, which is usually located in the upper part of the unit. At the same time, an American tap is also connected to the station with a threaded connection. Then a polypropylene combined coupling is screwed into the tap, the diameter of which is 32 mm, the angle is 90 degrees, and the length of the external thread is 1 inch. A strong connection between the polypropylene water pipe and the coupling is ensured by soldering these elements.

You may find this material with instructions for troubleshooting the most common problems useful:.

As you can see, you can carry out the work of installing and connecting the pumping station to the well yourself. If you do not want to delve into the intricacies of installation work, then hire specialists.

Good water supply makes any building comfortable. Previously, there were no problems with its installation, because it was only necessary to install pipes with taps, but now everything is different. Modern technologies have made water supply more efficient, eliminating its shortcomings.

For populated areas, the solution to the problem of lack of water is to drill a well. For such a system to work effectively, it is necessary to correctly connect the pumping station, which ensures a constant supply of water to the building with good pressure.

Station selection

To choose the right pump, you need to know exactly its operating characteristics. The modern market offers two varieties of this product - household and industrial. To connect the latter, you will need a special tool, and you cannot do without qualified assistance.

Household stations are connected quite simply, so you can handle this work yourself. Moreover, such a pump is enough to meet the needs of the average family, so we will opt for such equipment.

Selecting a location

The usual locations for pumping stations are basements and caissons. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the distance from the equipment to the wall remains large, since during operation the pump may be damaged due to strong vibrations. Also, it should not be affected by mechanical factors.

If expensive equipment will be located in the basement, then you need to make a pedestal-type stand for it. With its help you will protect your equipment from groundwater. The station should not be located further than 10 meters from the well.

Installation

First of all, be sure to read the instructions included with the equipment.

Work should begin with the preparation of tools and the acquisition of materials. Ready? Then we begin to prepare a place for our equipment.

If there is such a need, then use cement mortar or simple brick to build some kind of pedestal for the substation being constructed. Protect the installation site with prepared formwork and fill it with cement. After the solution has hardened, we begin drilling holes for fastenings. The pumping station must be secured as securely as possible. A rubber pad under the base of the equipment will help reduce vibration.

Upon completion of the installation of the station, connect it to electricity and do the piping. When working with electrical wires, do not forget about grounding, and when laying pipes, do not forget about reliability. The main task is to exclude the possibility of air getting inside the system. If there is a vacuum in the equipment, an automatic shutdown will work. To make connections even more reliable, you can use fum tape.

Modern pumps are manufactured with a built-in foot valve. Also, high-quality products have protection against dry running. To install such equipment, you just need to connect the right holes to the right pipes. If your station does not have such built-in devices, then the installation will proceed differently.

The check valve must be placed at the outlet of the water source, and the intake valve must be placed on the suction line. Dry running protection must be installed between the two valves. We secure all places where connections were made with connecting fittings and fum tape.

Pump connection

• To make the connection correctly, you need to assemble the ejector. Essentially, this is a tee with pipes that will subsequently be connected to other branches. A metal filter is installed at the bottom of the ejector.
• Now you need to collect the squeegee. Often it is made from two pipes with different diameters, connected by a special adapter. The ejector is attached to the upper part of the ejector (on its plastic socket).
• To ensure a reliable connection to the water main, attach a bronze coupling to the outlet of the drain.
• Now we lay the connecting pipes in the place intended for them, thereby connecting the well with the pump. The trench must be carefully prepared.
• The plastic tube, which will subsequently be installed on the casing, must be smoothly bent at a certain angle.
• By inserting the pipe into the elbow, you can lower it into the head. To maintain the tightness of the connections, use polyurethane foam. After this, connections to the main line are made using adapters.
• The finished ejector must be lowered to a pre-marked depth in the well.
• We secure the head to the casing pipe with reinforced tape.

Regardless of the purpose of the water, it is better to install a filter. This will help clear the sand from the liquid.

The absence of a filter can render the pumping station unusable.

The filter element is mounted on the suction device. After all procedures, adjust the pump operation according to the instructions.

Bottom line

The pumping station will make everyday work easier by delivering water from the well directly to the house. Moreover, the liquid will flow under the pressure necessary for efficient operation of kitchen appliances (washing machine and dishwasher). You can connect such equipment yourself, saving on expensive specialists.

Video

Before installing a water supply system, you need to draw up a detailed wiring diagram, focusing on how the water supply will be carried out - centrally or autonomously, and what the number of water intake points is - dishwasher and washing machine, supply to the hot water column, faucet in the kitchen, sink, shower, toilet, bath. In addition, it is necessary to calculate the approximate consumption of water, taking into account the number of people living in the house, as well as watering the garden and garden. And find out what the scheme for connecting it to the water supply network should be. You can learn about all this in this article.

What is a pumping station?

When installing an autonomous water supply system and connecting the water supply to public mains, the consumer dreams of regular water pressure in the system. Thus, special pumping equipment can be used to lift from a well located on a personal plot or a well. It comes in different capacities and models, and can be located in different parts of the plumbing system. Surface devices are placed at ground level, submersible devices are lowered directly into the well or borehole.

Essential elements

Pumping equipment should not be constantly running, since continuous operation can lead to rapid wear of the mechanisms and components of this device. However, you want to use water at any time of the day. There is a way out - a pumping station is assembled (the connection diagram and main parts are presented below), which provides constant pressure in the water supply system. So, let's look at the main components of a pumping station.

Pump

Very often equipped with surface pumps. They use an inlet pipe with a filter to pump water from the main network, well or well.

Battery

A hydraulic accumulator (or pressure accumulator) is a structure of certain overall dimensions, inside of which there is an internal container or an elastic partition made of rubber. When the pressure in the system increases, the partition or container stretches, and when it decreases, it contracts, directing water into the system and maintaining constant pressure levels.

Control node

This element determines at what point the pumping device needs to be started and when its operation is not required. The on and off parameters are determined by the pressure parameters in the system, measured by a pressure gauge.

Installation options

Regardless of the location of the water source, the installation of a pumping station can be carried out in three main places - in the basement, a separate building and a caisson. Let's look at them in more detail.

Basement

Such an installation of a pumping station greatly facilitates the maintenance of equipment, since in this case free access to the mechanisms is provided for their repair and maintenance. However, pumping devices are quite noisy, so when choosing this option you should think about soundproofing measures.

Detached building

In this case, the scheme for connecting the pumping station to the well is provided in a separate building, which is located above the mouth of the well or well. Despite the obvious benefits of this option, the construction of a separate structure for technical structures is a rather expensive process.

Caisson

A caisson is a structure that looks like a container, the bottom of which is located below the freezing level. It is possible to construct large-sized caissons in which pumping equipment can be placed.

Pumping station: reviews

According to consumer reviews of the pumping equipment used in stations, in most cases it does not cause any complaints. If you want to play it safe, it is advisable to purchase stations with equipment from well-known European companies.

Choosing a location

Before choosing where the pumping station will be located (the connection diagram also depends on the location), you need to know the requirements for its installation.

• To avoid increased vibration, the pumping station must be installed on a solid foundation. The lack of reliable fastening and a solid foundation can lead to backlashes forming at the junctions of pipelines, which will cause leaks. But at the same time, the pumping equipment should not come into contact with the ceiling and walls.
• The pumping station (the connection diagram is presented below) must be installed either in a heated room, or must be properly insulated from exposure to negative temperatures. Otherwise, a decrease in temperature can lead to damage to almost all components.

If you plan to use the station year-round, you will need to carry out quite complex preparatory work. Automatic pumping stations (connection diagrams also need to be thought out in advance) must be installed in warm rooms, and the pipeline from the house to the well must be laid below the freezing level or insulated.

Organization of the water supply system

In this case, the ideal option is an autonomous water supply system, which is not difficult to build. And the cost of such a system is quite affordable. Therefore, it remains to find out what the pumping station for a private house should be like, and the diagram for connecting it to the water supply system.

There are two main schemes for organizing an autonomous water supply system: well-based and well-based. In the latter case, the construction of an autonomous network begins with drilling a well. It is desirable if the project for the well, communication wiring and installation of the pumping station is carried out together with the design of the main building and yard buildings. In this case, you can design the installation of some equipment on the ground floors, buildings adjacent to the building or in the basements in such a way that the well and pumping station (reviews from experts confirm this) are in harmony with the general architectural style of the estate. And most importantly, this option in winter does not require additional protection of communications and equipment from freezing. Equipment arranged in one place will be convenient for repair and maintenance.

Pumping stations for home: connection diagram

Depending on the configuration of the plumbing system, you can choose to connect the station to a one-pipe or two-pipe system. The latter option is used to increase the depth from which pumping stations for the home (the connection diagram is discussed below) can receive water.

If the well depth is no more than 10 meters, then a single-pipe scheme is used. For suction depths greater than 20 meters, it is more advisable to use a two-pipe design with an ejector.

Two-pipe scheme

Connecting the pumping station to the well: two-pipe scheme.

1. At the first stage, it is necessary to assemble the ejector, which is a separate cast iron unit with three outlets for connecting a pipeline.
2. A filter mesh is installed at the bottom of the ejector, which, if sand or other small particles enter from a well or borehole, protects the pumping equipment from failure.
3. Then a plastic socket is installed in the upper part of the ejector, and a squeegee with a cross section of 32 mm is connected to it. To reach the cross-section of the water pipe, you may have to install several pipes at the same time.
4. At the end of the run, a coupling is installed to ensure the transition to a polyethylene pipeline. As a rule, this coupling is made of bronze.
5. Next, a cap is installed on the well casing pipeline.
6. After this, the required depth of the pipeline is determined. To do this, a long object is lowered into it. As a result, the level of the inlet pipe must be located about one meter from the bottom of the well to prevent stones or sand from entering from the bottom.
7. A polyethylene pipeline is connected to the ejector unit, the length of which must be equal to the sum of the distance from the depth of the well and the pump to the wellhead (minus 1 meter).
8. Then an elbow is mounted on the well head with a 90° rotation.
9. Plastic pipelines are inserted through the straight elbow, which lead to the ejector unit (finally, the space between the pipelines and the inside of the elbow can be filled with foam).
10. The ejector device is lowered to the required depth. The correct depth can be verified by the mark that was previously made on the pipeline.
11. A homemade head is fixed at the top, consisting of an elbow turned at an angle of 90°. The head is secured to the well casing using a specialized one for plumbing.

Connection to internal water supply

Pumping station for a private house: connection diagram to the internal water supply system.

• The HDPE pipe from external networks (from a well or borehole) enters the building and ends with a brass fitting with a transition of 32 mm in diameter.
• The connections located before the fine filter have a diameter of 25 mm. A tee with a drain valve is connected to the brass fitting (when replacing or repairing water supply elements). Next you need to make a turn towards the station. This will require 90 degrees.
• After the angle, a quick-release connection with a ball valve is installed. Next, a coarse mud pan is installed to protect against sand, small stones, etc.
• If there is a diagram for connecting the pumping station to the well, then the filter should be installed in the well in front of the relief valve. In the case of pumping equipment, a brass manifold for a pressure gauge, damper tank and pressure switch extends from the well. For the first option, a collector is not required due to the fact that the pumping station for water supply to the house is equipped with a tank and a pressure switch. If a pump is provided from the well, then the pressure switch is mounted in the manifold in a horizontal position from above, the damper tank is connected from below, and the fine filter is connected to the remaining connection.
• After the filter, a transition to a polypropylene pipeline with a diameter of 25 mm is installed. For hot water supply, glass fiber reinforced products are used, for cold water - non-reinforced ones. The pipelines are connected end-to-end after hot softening (soldering) using a special soldering iron.
• Then a cold water collector is installed, and shut-off devices are installed on the pipelines in case of repairs.

Connection with storage tank

The connection diagram for a pumping station with a storage tank is used when the volume of water is insignificant or the flow rate of the well (well) is small. The storage tank is installed between the water source and the end consumer. The volume of the tank, depending on daily consumption, can be from 300 to 1000 liters. In urban conditions, the daily volume of water per person is taken from the consumption of 170-250 liters, in the absence of a bathroom and in country conditions - 50-75 liters.

The connection diagram for a pumping station with a storage tank has the following advantages:

• In winter, the storage tank does not require additional heating.
• The storage tank does not take up space in the house.
• Large tanks can be used.

For underground installation, it is necessary to use storage tanks of a round or ribbed shape, which will ensure a high-quality connection of the pumping station to the well. The connection diagram using a storage tank is a cascade of separately controlled pumps.

In the modern world, you yourself choose which source of water supply is best suited for the required purposes. There are a sufficient number of different pumping stations in stores, the main thing is the hands and skill to connect the station yourself.

There are two main types of pumping stations. Which one is best for your home and how to install the station yourself? Let's figure it out.

Which pumping station to choose

1. Scope of use. There are 2 types of stations: industrial and domestic. Accordingly, household pumping stations are suitable for the home. Before purchasing, carefully consider what tasks your station must perform: drinking water, bathroom, heating, pouring water into the bathhouse, watering the garden, hot and cold water for the home, washing machine and dishwasher.
2. Water source. What source of water supply do you prefer and based on this, buy a station that is suitable specifically for this type of source. At the moment, there are three types of water sources: and centralized water supply.
3. Operating mode. There are manual and automatic stations. Calculate how much is consumed in the house. Approximately one person spends about 250 liters of water per day. And when you go to a specialized store, be sure to clarify this question.

We tried to describe all the nuances in a separate review.

Where should you put the station?

The choice is not very large. There are only two places for installation, one of which should be selected:

• a special place in the house (for example, a basement)
• in a caisson.

From the point of view of practicality and reliability, it is better to choose a basement, and the station must be protected from damage. If bottom water rises in the basement, then be sure to place the station on a shelf, but so that it does not touch the walls (so that vibration is not created) and there must be heating in the basement to avoid freezing of the station.

If you choose a caisson, then keep in mind that it must be well insulated. Its depth is at least 2 meters so that the station stands in it no lower than the freezing ground level.

If the water source is less than 10 meters deep, then a single-pipe station must be used. If from 10 to 20 meters, then it is preferable in this case to use a two-pipe station with an ejector. To begin with, be sure to develop an installation diagram, and then proceed with the connection.

Work order when connecting

1. Assemble the ejector.
2. Place the strainer in the lower sector of the ejector.
3. Place a squeegee of the required length and a diameter of 32 millimeters onto the plastic socket, which is located on the top of the ejector.
4. Assemble a squeegee of the required diameter. It consists of 2 elements with transition connections.
5. At the outlet of the outlet, install a connecting coupling, with the help of which the transition to a polyethylene pipe is made.
6. Use flax or sealing paste to seal the threaded assemblies.
7. Dig trenches below the freezing depth of the soil.
8. Lay the pipeline in them - accordingly, lay the length of the pipes with a margin.
9. Place caps on the casing pipe. Buying them is problematic, but you can use a knee with a soft angle if you don’t find the heads.
10. Use couplings to connect pipes and ejector.
11. Insert the second end of the pipe into the elbow at a right angle and then lower it. Fill the space for sealing with polyurethane foam. Then connect the pipe with corner adapters (90 degrees).
12. The ejector has been assembled, then lower it to the required depth (at the exit of the casing pipe)
13. Using plumber's tape, secure the pipe head to the casing.

It is important to know!

• It is imperative to lay the pipes with a margin so that later the pipe length does not end up being too short, since turns and bends may not be taken into account and then everything will have to be redone.
• Be sure to tighten all thread connections with a wrench and not by hand to avoid future water leakage.
• Take note and check the pressure.

Connecting the station to a centralized water supply

Typically, the need for this appears in cases where there is not enough pressure in the heating equipment. This can occur for three reasons:

1. Hydrogeological conditions have changed.
2. Old equipment
3. Water consumption has increased due to population growth.

When connecting a station, be sure to buy a storage bank and install it.

When everything is ready, get to work:

1. Disconnect the water pipe where you need it.
2. Connect the end from the city-wide highway to the storage tank.
3. From your tank, water flows to the pump outlet, and connect the end of the pipe that goes to the house to the outlet.
4. Install the electrical wiring.
5. Set up and adjust equipment.
6. Set the optimal pressure in the system. There is a special hole in the snail; through it, pour at least two liters of water into the equipment. Keep track of when the pump turned off and when it turned on again. Make sure that the shut-off pressure is 2.5–3 bar, and the switch-on pressure is 1.5–1.8 bar.
7. If the shutdown occurs earlier than expected, then reduce the pressure. Setting up the equipment is not difficult at all. Open the cover marked “DR” and twist it towards “+” or “–”. If necessary, then open the cover with “P” and adjust as you need.
8. Is it worth installing a filter in the water supply circuit?
9. If you install a filter, the pump will last a long time.
10. When installing the station, take into account the characteristics of the water so that no impurities enter the pumping system. If there are harmful impurities or substances, then of course.

What happens if you don't install a filter?

Various impurities: sand, clay and others will gradually clog the hydraulic accumulator, which will ultimately lead to breakdown of the pump, because it is the main part of the pumping station. Especially if a vibration pump is used.

There are also negative aspects of installing a filter:

• The filter must be cleaned regularly. If you don’t clean it, the pressure and pressure of the supplied water may decrease over time.
• It may happen that the filter becomes completely dirty and does not allow water to pass through, and this can lead to pump failure.

But it’s up to you to decide what’s better: clean the filter or change the pumps due to various impurities.

When you install the station yourself, you save money and therefore can even buy very high-quality equipment. If you did everything correctly and set it up, you will forget about the bad things for a long time. You can also not only buy a pumping station ready-made, but also assemble it yourself from purchased spare parts, and you also save money.

These are not at all complicated steps you have to do in order to cope with the pumping station yourself and use water for your pleasure at home. Now you can make both cold and hot water by simply purchasing a water heater.

One of the first engineering systems that are created in private households is water supply. Its use is necessary at the construction stage. Without a plumbing system, it is impossible to fully live in a house around the clock. Modern houses have as part of their engineering networks not only ordinary water taps, but also automatic devices that use water. In order to have water pressure in your home around the clock, each owner needs to know how to connect a pumping station.

What is a pumping station?

When building an autonomous water supply system and connecting the water supply of a private house to the main utility networks, each owner wants to receive a constant water pressure in the system. So, to lift water from a well or from a well located on a personal plot, you can use pumping devices. They come in different models and capacities and can be located in different segments of the water supply system. Submersible pumps are lowered directly into a well or well, while surface pumps are placed at ground level, drawing water through an inlet hose.

The pump should not run continuously. Continuous operation leads to rapid wear of the components and mechanisms of this device. At the same time, do you want to use water at any time of the day? There is a solution: to ensure constant pressure in the pipelines of the water supply system, a pumping equipment station is assembled.

Main parts of the pumping station

1. N asos. Typically, a set of stations uses surface pumps, which draw water from a well, borehole or main network through an inlet pipe with a filter.
2. Pressure accumulator or hydraulic accumulator. It is usually a container of a certain size, inside of which there is an elastic rubber partition or inner container. When the pressure increases, the system container or partition expands, and when the pressure decreases, it contracts, squeezing water into the system and maintaining constant pressure parameters.
3. Control node, which determines when the pumping device starts and when it stops working. The on and off parameters are determined by the pressure in the system, which is measured by a pressure gauge.

Options for installing a pumping equipment station

Pumping equipment stations, regardless of the location of the water source, can be installed in three main places.

Features of choosing a location for a pumping station

Connection options for pumping equipment station

Depending on the configuration of the water supply system, you can choose one-pipe and two-pipe connection schemes for the pumping equipment station. A two-pipe system is used to increase the depth from which a pumping station can lift water.

The single-pipe scheme is used for well depths not exceeding 10 meters. If it exceeds 20 meters, then it is preferable to use a two-pipe circuit with an ejector.

Connecting a pumping station (two-pipe scheme)

At the initial stage, an ejector is assembled, which is a separate unit made of cast iron with three outlets for connecting a pipeline.

1. First, we install a filter mesh on the ejector (in its lower part), which protects the pumping equipment from failure when small stones or sand enter from a well or well.
2. A plastic socket is mounted in the upper part of the ejector assembly, to which a squeegee with a cross-section of 3.2 cm is attached. You may have to mount several squeegees at the same time in order to reach the cross-section of the water pipe.
3. At the end of the run, we install a coupling that will ensure the transition to a plastic pipeline. Typically such a coupling is made of bronze.

When connecting elements, pay special attention to the tightness of the connections. Of course, a leak in a well or borehole will not cause you any aesthetic inconvenience, however, air intake in leaky connections can lead to instability in the operation of the system and a significant reduction in its power. Threaded connections are sealed with a special paste, fum tape, linen winding or rubber gaskets.

Remember! Water supply pipelines must either pass below the soil freezing depth or be properly insulated.

When introducing water supply pipes into a caisson or another location where a pumping equipment station is installed, it is necessary to provide them with some reserve in length. After removing the pipes, we begin to connect the pumping equipment station to the pipelines from the well.

1. We install the head on the casing pipe of the drilled well.
2. We find out the depth of lowering the pipes into the water well. To do this, lower any solid long object into the drilled shaft. The level of placement of the inlet pipe of the pumping equipment station should be approximately a meter away from the bottom of the well, so as not to suck in sand, silt or stones from the bottom.
3. We attach polyethylene pipes to the ejector unit. The length of the pipe should be equal to the sum of the distance from the wellhead to the pump and the depth of the well (minus one meter).
4. We mount an elbow at the well head with a 90-degree rotation.
5. We insert plastic pipes leading to the ejector unit through the straight elbow (after installation is completed, the space between the inside of the elbow and the pipelines can be filled with foam). In a straight elbow, the pipes can be either bent or connected by adapters with a rotation angle of 90 degrees.
6. We lower the ejector device to the required depth. You can check the correct installation depth of the ejector using the mark we previously made on the pipeline.
7. We fix a homemade head on the top of the casing, which consists of a pipe bend turned at an angle of 90 degrees. You can secure the “head” to the well casing using specialized tape for plumbing fixtures with reinforcement.

We bring water pipes to the house. You may have to provide turns. The entrance of water pipes through the foundation must be located below the soil freezing line. The removed pipes are connected to the water pipe of the pump as part of the station. The pipelines are connected using a wrench or an adjustable wrench.

There is usually a filler hole on the top of the pump as part of the equipment station. It is necessary so that it does not start “dry”. Filling with water is carried out only during the initial start-up or when starting up after a long period of inactivity.

Before starting the pumping equipment station, check the operating pressure in the hydraulic accumulator. Usually it is 1.2 - 1.5 atmospheres. You can increase the operating pressure using a regular car pump. For pumping up pressure accumulators in water supply systems there is a special nipple.

How to connect a pumping equipment station to the main water supply

Sometimes it is necessary to connect a pumping equipment station not to a well or well, but to the main water supply. This is relevant when connecting to utility networks with low or unstable pressure. You can make such a connection in the following sequence.

We regulate the operation of the pumping equipment station

After installing the connecting elements, the system must be run in test mode to check the tightness and functionality of all its segments. Before starting, water is poured into the filling hole of the pumping equipment station, this prevents the device from running dry.

As a rule, all adjustment parameters are set at the station before it is launched, based on the calculated parameters of the house’s plumbing system. During operation, the working components of the pumping equipment station may wear out, so it is advisable to carry out additional adjustments of the pump operating parameters approximately once a year. Precise adjustment of the pumping equipment system with built-in pressure accumulators is carried out by its own automation unit.

An important nuance. All pumping equipment stations incorporate an electric motor. It may have more power, so we recommend that you provide such a station with its own power supply line. The power line of the station will operate in a humid environment, so take care to install protected sockets and lay cables in special corrugated tubes.

As you can see, connecting a pumping equipment station is accessible even to a non-professional with minimal technological skills. Its installation will help you ensure uninterrupted water supply to your home and garden.
