 Varieties of Gardena pumping stations

Nowadays, many in private homes are seeking to use their own well or well for water supply of the dwelling. But for intermittent water supply with good pressure requires a specialized pumping station. In the market of equipment for the house there is a fairly large selection of these units. The Gardena pumping station deserves special attention. What it is, and what types are produced by this manufacturer, will be discussed in this article.

About the manufacturer

Gardena was founded in 1961 in Germany, and since then has come a long way in its development, winning a leading position in the global market for gardening and private households. Among the products of this company you will find everything so that your personal plot will delight you, without taking much time during the care of it.Gardena manufactures irrigation system fittings, garden tools, lawn mowers, as well as home pumps and pumping stations.

Special features

Gardena pumping stations are designed to provide water from an external source, such as a well, and represent a whole range of equipment. They consist of the pump itself, the hydroaccumulator, as well as the control system.

With this unit you can not only provide a home on several floors with uninterrupted water supply, but also organize watering in your garden, using, for example, a rainwater tank.

Domestic water station Gardena can operate autonomously. Thanks to the hydroaccumulator, it accumulates a certain amount of water, and for some time it can work without power supply. Therefore, these pumping stations can be installed even in places where electricity is often cut off.

Works pressure station Gardena as follows. The pressure switch installed in this unit automatically controls the level of pressure in the water tank. When the amount of liquid in the tank decreases, the pump is turned on, which fills the tank to the level required for supplying the pressure with liquid.At the same time, the pressure in the hydroaccumulator can be adjusted to the parameters you need, thereby changing the pressure of the water supplied.

Gardena pumping stations can optionally be equipped with a mechanical cleaning filter. It will be necessary if water comes from a contaminated source. But if in your well there are a lot of extraneous dissolved impurities, for example, rust or various salts, then you will need to install additional filters to provide drinking water at home.

Pressure stations of this manufacturer are superficial. They are mounted near the water supply source. Water enters the device using a pipe lowered into a well or well.

When planning to use this device all year round, in the process of its installation it is necessary to take into account the fact that the unit cannot operate in negative temperature conditions. Therefore, it should be installed in a heated room, and the pipes from it to the dwelling should be laid below the level of soil freezing.

Advantages and disadvantages

Gardena water stations have several advantages:

  • Like most devices manufactured in Germany, these units are of high quality and meet all international standards for this type of device.
  • The lifetime of these pumping stations is quite large. But in order for the device to serve you for many years, it needs periodic technical inspection and the elimination of minor flaws. The manufacturer gives a guarantee on the tank in 5 years, but after this time it is possible to replace only this accumulative element, while you do not have to spend money on the station as a whole.
  • During the work of almost all models of units, they are almost inaudible. The noise level is minimal.
  • Most models of hydropower stations are equipped with an Eco system, which does not allow the instrument to operate if no water enters it.
  • Pumping stations of this manufacturer are represented by four types of models, which will allow you to choose the unit with the most optimal parameters for you.
  • More expensive modifications of the units are equipped with a liquid crystal screen, where you can monitor the parameters of the instrument.
  • Each pumping station in the kit has detailed instructions that will tell about all the intricacies of installation and operation of this unit.

The disadvantages of Gardena pressure stations include only the price of some models, but it is fully justified by the quality of the device,which is capable of smooth operation over the years.

How to choose

There are several aspects that affect the choice of the Gardena pumping station for the dacha or residential building:

  • The required amount of water. The station needs to be selected depending on how many bathrooms are in your home, and how many people live in the house. It is not necessary to purchase a unit with a large storage of water, if you do not need it, because the water in the tank will stagnate and lose its taste. So, for a dacha where a small family lives, it is enough to purchase a station with a 25-liter accumulator and a volume of distilled liquid up to 4000 liters per hour.
  • Maximum depth and height of rising water. Depending on how far from the surface of the water is the water, you will need a different power device. Gardena pumping stations are designed for a water depth of 8 m. The height to which the device can raise water varies from 25 to 50 meters.
  • Additional functions. It is better to choose devices with protection against overheating and dry running. They will stop the operation of the device if it is not supplied with liquid, as well as in the event that the drive temperature exceeds the permissible parameters.
