Maximum head

The maximum head generated by the pump. This parameter is most often indicated in meters, by the height of the water column that the unit can create — in other words, by the height to which it can supply water. You can estimate the pressure created by the pump using a simple formula: every 10 m of head corresponds to a pressure of 1 bar.

It is worth choosing a pump according to this parameter, taking into account the height to which it should supply water, as well as adjusting for losses and the need for pressure in the water supply. To do this, it is necessary to determine the difference in height between the water level and the highest point of water intake, add another 10 to 30 m to this figure (depending on the pressure that needs to be obtained in the water supply), and multiply the result by 1.1 — this will be the minimum pressure required.

Max. pressure

The highest pressure that the pump is capable of creating during operation. This parameter is directly related to the maximum head (see above); however, it is less obvious, and therefore, it is indicated rarely.

Volume of water pressure tank

The volume of the water pressure tank provided in the design of the pressure tank unit.

A water pressure tank is a reservoir capable of holding a certain volume of water. It performs several functions at once. The main ones are: firstly, maintaining a stable pressure; secondly, protection against water hammer; and thirdly, storage of an “emergency” supply of water in case of a power outage, pump breakdown, etc. The larger the volume of this tank, the better it handles its capabilities; on the other hand, a large capacity significantly affects the dimensions and cost of the tank. Therefore, it does not always make sense to look for a pump with the maximum volume of the water pressure tank. Specific recommendations on choosing the optimal volume for different situations can be found in special sources.

Power cord length

The length of the cable that supplies electricity to the pump with the appropriate type of power supply (see above). The longer the cable the farther from the socket or other power source you can install the pump. This parameter is especially important for submersible models: if the cable is too short, it will simply be impossible to lower the pump to the maximum depth provided for by its design, because ordinary extension cords cannot be immersed in water.

Protection class (IP)

An indicator that determines the degree of protection of dangerous (moving and current-carrying) parts of the hardware of the pump from adverse effects, namely solid objects and water. Since pumps, by definition, are used for pumping liquids, and many of them can normally pass quite large particles, in this case, we are talking about protection against moisture and foreign objects from outside.

The level of protection is usually indicated by a marking of the letters IP and two numbers, the first of which indicates protection against the effects of solid objects, and the second — against the ingress of water.

For the first digit, each value corresponds to the following protection values: 1 — protection against objects with a diameter of more than 50 mm (large body surfaces) 2 — against objects with a diameter of more than 12.5 mm (fingers, etc.) 3 — against objects more than 2.5 mm (most tools) 4 — against objects larger than 1 mm (virtually all tools, most wires) 5 — dust-proof (total protection against contact; dust can enter, but does not affect the operation of the device) 6 — dust-proof (case with full dust protection and contact).

For the second digit: 1 — protection against vertically falling drops of water 2 — against drops of water with a deviation of up to 15° from the vertical axis of the device 3 — against drops of water with a deviation of up to 60° from the vertical axis of the device (rain) 4 — against splashes from any direct...ion 5 — from jets from any direction 6 — from sea waves or strong water jets 7 — short-term immersion to a depth of up to 1 m (without the possibility of continuous operation in immersed mode) 8 — long-term immersion to a depth of more than 1 m (with the possibility of permanent operation) in immersed mode).

Note that in some cases one of the numbers can be replaced by the letter X — this means that official certification for the corresponding parameter has not been carried out. In pumps, X is usually put in place of the first digit, because. a high degree of moisture resistance (and for submersible models, for example, it must, by definition, correspond to 8) means a high degree of protection against solid contaminants.

Pump housing material

The material from which the pump housing is made. It is a structural element in which the working mechanism (impeller or auger) is installed. Note that the motor casing can be made of a different material — this is not important in this case; and in water pumps with the engine (see “Power source”), we are talking about the casing of the pump itself, and not about the support frame in which it is fixed.

The following options are most popular nowadays:

— Plastic. Inexpensive material that perfectly resists moisture and is not subject to corrosion. However, the reliability of plastic as a whole is not very high; the exception is special high-strength grades, but they are extremely rare in pumps (when strength is needed, metals are usually used). So plastic housing is mainly equipped with relatively simple and affordable models that are not designed for serious loads.

— Cast iron. An extremely popular material nowadays: cast iron is strong, reliable, durable and at the same time has a relatively low cost. However, in terms of corrosion resistance, this material is inferior to stainless steel (see below). Nevertheless, subject to the rules for operating the pump, the service life of the cast-iron housing is not inferior to the service life of most of the main components of the unit. Also note that such cases are quite massive, which makes transportation difficult; however, in some cases, a large weight is an advantage: it helps to dampen vibrati...ons.

— Stainless steel. By the name, one of the key advantages of stainless steel is high resistance to corrosion — and, accordingly, reliability and durability. On the other hand, this material also costs a little more than the same cast iron. The weight of such housing is somewhat less — this, again, can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the situation.

— Aluminium. Premium material. The aluminium alloys used in today's pumps are light, strong, durable, and virtually impervious to moisture, but cost accordingly.

— Brass. A fairly rare option found in some models of surface pumps. Brass is strong enough, reliable and resistant to moisture, but in most cases, it does not have key advantages over the same stainless steel or aluminium but costs a little more.

— Bronze. Another material similar to the brass described above is durable and practical but rarely used.

— Ceramics. A material found exclusively in sewage pumps in the form of toilet bowls (see "Pump design"). Most often, ceramics means vitreous china or more expensive and durable vitreous china — that is, the same materials as in ordinary toilets without built-in pumps.
