Pumping station "Whirlwind": advantages and disadvantages

For owners of private houses, villas, multi-storey cottages, farms, the issue of water supply is acute. An excellent solution to this problem, as practice shows, is the installation of a pumping station.

The pumping station is a design with the help of which an individual water-pressure system is organized with a constant pressure of clean water suitable for all household needs. The device provides water from open reservoirs, wells, wells, water mains. Maintaining the desired pressure in the water supply is due to the modern automatic system.

Each equipment, regardless of its purpose, has features, advantages and disadvantages. To make the right choice, the buyer must become familiar with all the subtleties of a particular design.

There are several main advantages of the brand range of pumping stations.

• Automatic support of the required pressure level in the system.
• Energy efficiency (economical power consumption).
• High quality device design. Any of the pumping stations has a durable metal casing that prevents mechanical damage from accidental shocks, etc. The impeller and flow block in all models of the Whirlwind pumping stations are made of wear-resistant plastic materials.
• Easy operation.
• Environmental friendliness.

• The presence of the engine asynchronous type, guaranteeing the smooth performance of the functions of the unit. This type of engine is characterized by a long operational period and a high degree of resistance to loads.
• Existence of the built-in ejector which promotes increase in power of absorption.
• Noise exposure, which is within the limits of hygienic standards.
• Access to replacement parts at affordable prices from the manufacturer provides an easy repair in case of breakage.

The range of pumping stations of the Russian brand "Whirlwind" is quite wide, but in each product line there are models that are most preferable for customers. The most popular and demanded pressure equipment of the company:

• automatic station "Whirlwind" DIA - 1200 / 24N;
• device for water supply "Whirlwind" DIA - 800/19;
• water supply system "Whirlwind" DIA - 370 / 2Ч;
• water pumping station "Whirlwind" DIA - 800/50;
• well pump "Whirlwind" CH - 50.

To determine the choice of a suitable model of pressure equipment, it is necessary to carefully study all the characteristics of the model range.

This type of pumping station is designed for clean water. It is endowed with high quality design and reliable automatic control system. The unit is characterized by a long operational period without degrading the functionality. It has many advantages, including:

• energy efficiency;
• the case made of cast iron which does not rust, and also is steady against various mechanical influences;
• built-in barometer, which allows to control changes in pressure in the system;

• high head;
• fully automatic operation;
• silent operation (the device is suitable even for houses with low sound insulation).

This is the best option for providing water to farms, industries, cottages and the private sector. The unit has its advantages:

• automatic adjustment of pressure in the system;
• availability of a special pressure gauge;
• considerable hydroaccumulator, reserving water in case of an unexpected power outage;
• connection to the household power network;
• horizontal installation;
• simplicity and ease of use.

The depth of absorption reaches 8 m, and the tank has a volume of 19 liters.

This is a universal pumping station that provides uninterrupted water supply for various purposes. It is suitable for underground wells and wells. The design has several advantages:

• the presence of an asynchronous motor;
• self-priming motor with an integrated ejector, increasing the degree of suction power;
• special relay acting as a pressure switch;
• built-in pressure gauge, which allows to monitor the state of pressure during operation of the unit;

• the presence of a metal receiver consisting of two parts and a membrane partition;
• construction made of cast iron alloy, resistant to mechanical damage and environmental influences;
• availability of automatic thermal protection.

The depth of the suction device is 9 m, the volume of the tank - 2 liters.

This is a budget unit with compact dimensions, suitable for small houses, farms, cottages. The design features include:

• energy efficiency;
• automatic adjustment of pressure using the provided relay;
• excellent pressure characteristics;
• large volume receiver, allowing you to make water supplies in case of an unforeseen situation;
• inclusion occurs no more than twenty times per hour;
• work with water of average pollution is allowed.

The depth of absorption of the unit is 9 m, and the tank has a volume of 50 liters.

This device is designed to supply clean water from wells or wells whose depth is not more than 50 meters. The design is made of high-quality stainless steel, which minimizes the occurrence of corrosive processes, and also prevents mechanical and other damage from environmental exposure. The device is compact, convenient in operation and allows you to pump water from wells with a diameter of 100 mm.

Based on numerous positive user reviews, it can be concluded that Whirlwind pumping stations are high-quality products. They have a long operational period, although failures do occur. The most common problem that customers write about in reviews is that even after stopping water consumption, the unit does not turn off.

The reasons why this happens may be many, but the main ones are:

• breakage of the part (tube, for example);
• failure of the pressure switch;
• electrical circuit failure;
• voltage drops in the mains;
• failure of initial factory valve settings.

In order for the equipment to serve for a long time, and the malfunctions of the water supply system did not disturb the owners, it is necessary to clearly follow the instructions for use of the device. Important and high-quality timely diagnosis. If necessary, troubleshooting should be carried out only by a specialist.

When arranging a cottage, private house or farm, a person sooner or later faces the problem of water supply. An expedient solution to the problem is to install a modern pumping station, which will not only provide water, but also help to make a reserve of liquid (thanks to a spacious water tank) in case of emergency or other unforeseen situations.

When buying a pump station should pay attention to a few highlights.

• Suction depth It also takes into account the degree of remoteness of the well or well, and the point of intake.
• The amount of fluid consumed. On average, for 2-4 people in the conditions of residence at the cottage in the summer, a tank of 20-24 liters is enough.
• Power of the unit. A powerful pumping station will allow watering the area with plantings and make a quick supply of water.

• The material of manufacture of the hull structure. The most popular models are plastic. This material provides a high level of noise insulation, is not subjected to corrosive processes. It is also durable and does not emit harmful substances into the water.
• The presence of the ejector, which improves the functionality of the device as a whole.
• The protective functions of the mechanism to prevent overheating of the system, prolonging the life of the station. The higher the class of electrical protection, the better the safety of the product in case of accidental splashes of water or sand.

Regardless of which model of the pumping station was preferred, it should be connected to a specialist or person who has the necessary knowledge and experience in this matter.
