Mounting the pump into the well with your own hands

Pumping equipment intended for installation in a well acts as an important element responsible for water abstraction. On how well the equipment was selected and installed, the functioning of the entire water supply system will depend. Before starting the installation of the pump, it is necessary to analyze the well for the absence of curvature or any kind of contraction that a casing may have . If such conditions exist, then it is necessary to be prepared for the installation to occur with some difficulties. It should be remembered that the life of the equipment will be significantly reduced. If the difference between the diameters of the pipes turned out to be quite impressive, then the device will not be able to cool properly. This will cause the pump to catch fire. Experts emphasize that too little difference can lead to problems that arise when the equipment functions. If you are interested in this issue, you can find out about the minimum acceptable indicators by looking in the technical documentation.

Installing the pump in the well

Installation of the pump in the well should be performed only after the master or brigade has chosen a cord, to which certain requirements are made. The rope must withstand the tensile load, which is five times the mass of the device itself. Among other things, it is necessary to pay attention to what distance should be maintained to fix the suspension. It is necessary to exclude the absorption of the node. To do this, it should be located no closer than 10 m from the inlet. If the installation of the pump in the well is accompanied by a lowering of the device to a more impressive depth, then at the end of the cable a spring suspension is fixed. This component will contribute to damping vibrations. A medical tourniquet may act as this element.

Technological features of the installation

Installation of the pump in the well should not involve the use of a steel cable, which some masters use as a suspension. This rule should not be neglected for the reason that the metal element is able to break the fasteners located on the pump casing. Withstood a step in the range from 0,7 to 1,3 meters, it is necessary to strengthen the electric cord, kapron suspension, and also the pipe (the latter should be made of metal-plastic). To carry out these manipulations, use electrical tape. Away from the nozzle about 20 cm, you need to make one fastening.

How to avoid mistakes

The installation of the pump in the well should not involve the use of threaded connections to connect the device. Specialists claim that they can be susceptible to corrosion during operation. That is why it is recommended to use an alternative solution, involving the use of flange connections. The fixing bolt must be facing upwards, while the nut will look down. Thus, you will be able to eliminate the drop of the bolt in the well, which can happen quite by accident. If this can not be avoided, the work of the well will be stopped.

Installation Recommendations

When a submersible pump is installed in the well, the upper part that relates to the discharge line must be well fixed to the support plate. Then you can begin installation work, involving the use of a non-return valve. It should be noted that this recommendation is true for all variations that are lacking this component. To the crossbar you need to strengthen the suspension. It is important to exclude any contact of the surface of the pump casing with the walls of the well. If you are not sure that you can perform these manipulations without interaction of materials, then you can hedge by protecting the body using a rubber ring. The insulation resistance of the motor winding is determined by the manometer. In the next step it will be necessary to check if the device is at a sufficient depth. After that, you can test how well the electric motor functions when it is loaded.

About the depth of immersion

If you yourself decided to install a water pump in the well, you need to think about the depth of its location. Installation of equipment is carried out 30 cm below the so-called dynamic level of the water position. This indicator is minimal. Under the static level, the distance from the water mirror to the ground surface should be raised. After pumping water from the water intake, you should measure the level at which the stop will be performed. This position will become a dynamic level. Step from the pump to the bottom should be equal to the limit of 1 to 2 meters. This indicator can be increased. If the submersible pump is to be installed in the well for the first time, then when choosing the equipment it is necessary to pay attention to those models that have a float switch. If the water level in the well reaches the most critical point, the float switch will perform its function by stopping the engine.

Re-installation of the pump in the well

Installation of the pump into the borehole by hand can be performed and repeated. This need arises in some cases. Among them, one can single out the drop in equipment in the water intake. The most common cause is the breakage of the fastening cable. Replace the installation may be necessary and with incorrect selection of modification of equipment. Quite often purchased pumps have insufficient or, on the contrary, excessive power. This concerns performance. Re-installation of the ECV pump into the well may also be necessary if the operation or installation was carried out in violation of rules and technology. Well owners are faced with the problem of voltage drop that occurs in the power grid. This, too, can contribute to the need to change equipment. Re-assembly of the water pump into the well is performed when the electric cable is pulled out, as well as wedging the equipment. If there was a break in the water-lifting pipe, cable sagging, and groundwater fluctuations, the equipment must be immediately removed and replaced.

Replacing the pump with a new one

You can carry out replacement work on your own or use the services of specialists. If you decide to implement the work yourself, then a few more people will be needed. One master can not cope with the weight of 100 kilograms, which is possessed by equipment located at a depth of 50 meters. It will take a safety rope for manipulation. After removing the equipment, it should be checked for maintainability. If there is no chance to return the pump to work, then you need to purchase and install a new unit.

The order of work

Step-by-step installation of the pump into the well assumes the initial disconnection of the equipment from the power supply. In the place where the pipe was made, the fastening must be unscrewed. The old pump is pulled out slowly enough, while it is necessary to provide insurance with a cable. Pull equipment out continuously, with the help of three people. After removing the pump, you can start installing a new one. Mounting a deep- well pump into the well involves fixing the device on the pipe. The cable must be connected to the base, as well as solder the wires and install a hydraulic coupling. The wires are fixed to the pipe. The next step is to lower the device into the well. The electrical cable must be protected from rubbing against the edge.

Final work

Once the pump has reached the required depth, it should be tested by connecting it to an electrical network. If there is a need, it will be necessary to reconfigure the automation. Mounting of the deep-well pump into the well can be carried out independently, however, specialists recommend seeking professional help. Among other things, this approach is more acceptable also for the reason that a team of professionals guarantees a successful outcome.
