The details of the selection of equipment for water supply

Water is a necessary resource for the maintenance of human life. Modern production cannot do without it. To adjust the water supply process, it is necessary to properly install special pumps, pipes, fuses, filters, adjust in all respects and monitor its operation. To date, there is a wide variety of autonomous pumps, and thanks to a large range you can choose the right station for use.

To install the equipment correctly, you need to understand how the whole system works. The main part that provides the water supply is a circular pump. Its task is to maintain the water pressure in the system.

Depending on the specific installation parameters, different types of circular pumps are distinguished.

• The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing a pump is the pressure in the water supply system or well. Based on this information, the pump is selected with certain parameters.
• The second important factor in choosing a pump is the number of floors in your building. The higher you plan to install the device, the more powerful it should be.
• The next important criterion for pump selection is pipeline resistance. It is important to know what the resistance value is from the pump connection point to the consumer, otherwise your unit will not be able to function in normal mode or it will produce a permanent system error.

In order to choose a pump for use, you must also select the appropriate additional equipment, for example, a ventilation or air conditioning system.

These auxiliary elements will help to serve the equipment for many years.

If you want to monitor the consumption of hot and cold water, you can install a water meter. Especially if you plan to install a pump in the enterprise - this will significantly help save money. The water meter unit consists of a cold and hot water meter, a filter, and a shut-off valve. Typically, the water meter assembly is installed in the basement, there is the most suitable place for its installation.

This device helps to avoid water hammer, which significantly improves the quality of work of the entire pumping station. If you plan to install a hydraulic tank in an apartment building, it will perform the function of compensating for the pressure drop. If the hydraulic tank is purchased for use in the well, the tank, if necessary, can save a small amount of water.

If you want to avoid power surges and protect the pump from damage, you need to install a hydroaccumulator. It will help to avoid problems not only with overvoltage, but also adjust the regulation of hot water supply.

The battery includes the following parts:

• the battery case should consist of high-quality metal;
• inside is a rubber tank;
• for pumping and bleeding the air inside is installed nipple, it performs a very important function;
• connects the battery with the station autonomous water supply through a pipe, which is located inside the battery;
• inside there is air space where the air is expelled;
• next to the air tank is a water tank, the battery is pumped water into it.

Everyone has long known that water that flows from a tap is dangerous for direct consumption for both cooking and household needs. Therefore it is necessary to take care of its cleaning. The filter is installed in the pump system. Filters are different on the basis of destination, for example, from mechanical dirt install settlers, and for cleaning from chemicals - carbon filters.

This is one of the main details of the entire system. It ensures the safety of pipes, does not allow water to leak. If you have purchased a low-quality part, then this can have a deplorable effect on all the equipment, because they work “in command” and the breakdown of one element provokes the breakdown of another.

It is used to compensate for linearly elongated pipes. It is not installed on all pumps, since each part has its own extensions, in some cases installing a linear compensator will be a waste of money. It is used in cases where the pipeline is hidden in a wall or screed. The compensator itself is a corrugation, at the edges of which there are special hooks for fasteners to the pipe.

This accessory is able to heat water from the heating system. The heat exchanger is a plate that is tightly pressed to each other, there is also an input-output of cold and hot water. If you installed a heat exchanger, you can easily determine the location of the water leaks.

To install an autonomous pump in the well, it is necessary to carry out the following activities:

• select a suitable location for the well;
• drill a hole - it is necessary to entrust the professionals;
• install a pumping station;
• install water filters;
• install special equipment for heating cold water.

If you have already firmly decided to drill a well and install a pump, then you need to figure out which pumps are and which one is best for you. Pumps are of two types: surface and submersible.

• The surface pump pumps water from the intake hose. Such a device is not able to raise water to a height.
• Submersible pumps are more practical, but more expensive. The price is due to the fact that such a pump is excellent at pumping water to a height. Given that such a pump is half immersed in water, it cools itself - this is also a huge plus. And he himself corrects his work: when the water level in the well goes down, it reduces power and does not overheat.

For a submersible pump, you must choose durable materials.Steel piping is perfect for this purpose. But also with its duties perfectly handled pipe made of metal. Well, the most durable material for the pipeline is copper. Such a pipe will serve you up to a hundred years.

However, when installing, there are still a lot of subtleties. Some of them depend on the type of equipment itself, its maximum voltage or immersion in water. Others - from its performance in extreme conditions. But in any case it is worth taking care of the equipment long before it is purchased.

Drilling wells should produce only professionals. Only they will be able to do this job with high quality. It is impossible that the walls crumble, and the material processing them from the inside should not crack.

The choice of the location of an independent water supply station depends on its type, type of pump, seasonality of operation.

• If you use the system only in the summer season, while preserving special equipment for the winter, the laying of the pipeline may be shallow or shallow. The main thing is that the surface pump is reliably protected from weather precipitation and mechanical defects. This is required by the rules of operation and sound calculation for the long operation of the device.
• If you have a country house with year-round living, special equipment also needs protection from frost. For this reason, it is installed in a heated room (basement, utility block) or in a warmed caisson above the well. A pipe from the source to the housing is laid below the freezing of the soil.

All of the above applies to systems with submersible pumps, except that there is no need to hide them from precipitation - they function while being submerged in water. In the same place it is possible to leave them and for the winter if the water level remains the same and hides a half of the pump.

However, for the comfort of servicing and autonomous operation of automation, all other elements without exception should be in a dry and warm place. Most often it is a caisson, arranged directly above the well head.

But often the well is drilled right in the building at the stage of its construction. This greatly simplifies the use of the station, without requiring the construction of separate insulated shelters for it. However, it complicates the service and repair of the well itself.

Autonomous water supply is a modern electrical equipment that solves many problems. It is able to provide both the whole house with clean drinking water and an industrial building. The system works automatically, which significantly saves time and money. With the right choice and installation of equipment, it will work like a clock, without requiring constant monitoring and intervention.
