Drainage Pumps

Drainage pumps - Pumping out dirty water quickly and easily

A drainagepump or a submersible pump for dirty water, with an appropriate delivery head and flow rate, is always indispensable when water needs to be pumped out that isnot clear, but interspersed with dirt and solids. Drainage pumps are therefore suitable for any type of wastewater. A typical example of an application in which a drainage pump is needed is the pumping out of a basement that has been filled by a flood. When flooding occurs, large amounts of water as well as stones, sand and branches are washed into the house, which is why a submersible pump for dirty water must be used instead of a clear water pump. A clear water pump would not be able to cope with the dirt contained in the water, unlike a drainage pump, and would be damaged by the water mixed with foreign bodies. A drainage pump, on the other hand, can move dirty and muddy water up to a certain particle size by means of a paddle wheel inside the pump without affecting the flow rate and head. The technology of the drainage pump or the submersible pump for dirty water is not damaged by this. If water has accumulated undesirably in buildings, a drainage pump with an appropriate flow rate must be put into operation as quickly as possible to pump out the water. Otherwise, water can penetrate into the building structure and, for example, endanger the statics, or cause mold. A drainage pump or a submersible pump for dirty water with a high flow rate and delivery head is therefore indispensable for pumping out the water quickly and thus minimizing further consequential damage.

Important aspects when buying a drainage pump

If you want to buy a drainage pump, you should first think about where you want to use it. In addition, it is crucial how large the foreign bodies are that are in the dirty water that they want to convey. Depending on how coarse the dirt and foreign bodies are in the dirty water you want to convey, you should choose a submersible pump for dirty water that is suitable for the pumped medium according to the manufacturer. As arule , drainagepumps have a screen hole that must be adapted to the medium to be pumped. The following applies: The coarser the dirt contained in the pumped medium, or in the water, the larger the strainer hole of the drainage pump or the submersible pump suitable for dirty water must be. Otherwise, the water cannot be pumped by the drainage pump due to the solids it contains without damaging the technical components of the submersible pump for dirty water. A decisive criterion in the selection of the right drainagepump is thedelivery head. This indicates the height difference over which the water can be transported with the help of the drainage pump. If you want to pump out a cellar, the maximum delivery head of your new drainage pump must of course be greater than if you only want to drain a small pond. Directly related to this , thedelivery rate of the submersible pump or drainage pump suitable for wastewater is also relevant. The delivery rate of the sewage pump and must be matched to the amount of water to be pumped out. The flow rate of the drainage pump indicates how much water can be pumped out per hour or minute. For example, if you want to use the submersible drainage pump to pump out a basement, the drainage pump should definitely have a discharge head of more than 10,000 liters of water per hour. With regard to the permissible immersion depth of the drainage pump, you must note that the suction device of the submersible drainage pump must be below the water surface. The immersion depth of the drainage pump is measured from the water surface to the upper edge of the drainage pump. Depending on whether or not electricity is available at the expected location of your new drainage pump, you can choose between electric and motor-driven pumps for drainage water.A motor-driven drainage pump is usually very powerful and has a comparatively high flow rate and head. However, a motor-driven submersible drainage pump is naturally noisier and requires more maintenance than an electric drainage pump. Furthermore, it is necessary to keep an eye on the pump's gasoline or diesel supply, which is why unattended operation of a motor-driven drainage pump is not possible. Since a drainage pump issubject to increased wear and tear due to the foreign bodies contained in the water, in addition to the manufacturer's specifications for maximum flow rate and delivery head, care should be taken to ensure that the drainage pump has been manufactured to the highest possible quality .Choose a submersible pump for dirty water or a drainagepump that is made of durable materials and hasgood seals .

In order to be able to let the drainagepump work unattended and to be able to bridge the time in which the submersible drainage pump is working, it is advisable to choose a drainage pump that is safe to run dry. A drainage pump that is protected against dry running switches off automatically when no more water comes in. This prevents damage from overheating and increases the service life of the submersible pump for dirty water. The fact that the drainage pump is really safe to run dry is often ensured by a float switch, which switches the pump on or off when the water has reached a certain level. If a drainage pump is dry-running safe and has a float switch, then the position of a ball inside the drainage pump determines whether the submersible pump for dirty water runs or not. This makes it much easier to use the drainage pump, as you can be sure that you can start the pump without worrying about constantly supervising it. The water level can be perfectly regulated with the help of the drainage pump, and damage to the drainage pump by running dry is impossible. Last but not least, when choosing a hose for your drainage pump, listen to the manufacturer's recommendations. A hose that is not perfectly matched can significantly reduce the performance of the drainage pump.
