Features of motor pumps for heavily contaminated water

Motor pumps are high-performance pumps with increased power. They are designed to pump out unnecessary liquid from reservoirs, to empty pools, irrigate fields. There are also special types of motor pumps used in fire fighting.

A distinctive feature of these devices, in comparison with water pumps, is the way of supplying energy. Conventional pumps are powered by electricity, while motorized pumps are fuel apparatus. Most run on gasoline or diesel. Undoubtedly, this is a plus, since it is not always possible to connect equipment to power lines. And on construction sites or in the agricultural industry, stand-alone devices are always a priority.

Diesel motor pumps are expensive. However, it should be borne in mind that the cost of diesel fuel is much lower than the cost of gasoline. So buying a diesel design is a smart decision. Gasoline powered devices are much cheaper and more compact.

It is worth choosing a device based on the level of contamination of the processed liquid. Motor pumps are available for both clean and highly contaminated water. Dirty water machines may allow liquids to pass through them containing stones, grass pieces, dirt, sludge, etc.

• In most cases, motor pumps for dirty water are used in the municipal construction sector of the economy. Thanks to them, after the winter cold, basements in summer cottages, in country buildings and city houses are drained. With their help, you can pump water from sewer wells. The device has become very widespread in construction activities.

• If we consider the field of agriculture, then it can be used to clean barns or other premises in which livestock are raised. Motor pumps are used to pump the thickest masses. The main thing is that too large or sharp elements that can harm the device do not get into the liquid.
• This device is also used by the Ministry of Emergencies. Moreover, not only for extinguishing fires, but also for pumping out dirty liquid, in the event of various disasters in mines.
• Due to the autonomy of the device, it can be used when building new housing outside the city, when the power lines have not yet been laid.

In the modern market for this type of pump, there is a huge range of units from a variety of manufacturers. Today in Russia, devices made in Europe or Japan are especially popular.

• Japanese models are in great demand due to their high quality and small dimensions. The device has an approximate lifespan of 5500 hours. Motor pumps made in Japan can run on both gasoline and diesel. These devices are slightly more expensive than their counterparts. The most popular Japanese-made model is considered Yanmar YDP 30 STE.
• Another solid company for the production of motor pumps is the company Fubag... The products of this manufacturer are also in demand in Russia. The most popular models are Fubag PG 950 T and Fubag PG 1300 T. Fubag is a German brand. And even if the components are created in China, this does not in any way affect the quality of the product.

• For the past few years, Russia has also been engaged in the production of motor pumps. The trade mark is very popular "Caliber"... These units are ideal for home use when you need to pump out water from a pool or irrigate an area. All products manufactured by this brand are also assembled in China.
• In addition to the products of the "Caliber" brand, aggregates are popular in Russia "Vepr" from the "Light" series... Lombardini engines are built into the devices.

Do not forget that models made in Russia do not have the capacity of analogs made abroad.

• Models of Chinese brands are very popular on the Russian market today. One of the highest quality representatives of such products is the DDE PTR80 model.
• Also, one cannot fail to mention the company Hyundai, which produces world-class cars. It also manufactures pumps for highly contaminated water. These are very durable, powerful and efficient models.
• If we talk about the budget line, then the Green Field brand is in the lead. The company has a good demand for its products and a huge number of positive reviews.

• All devices for working with dirty water have special attachments - filters. They are meshes of different sizes. The type of filter to be installed depends on the degree of contamination of the fluid.
• Depending on the mass supplied to the device, manufacturers offer 2 types of mechanisms: centrifugal and membrane. The first option is for the thickest mass. With this pump, workers empty the sewers or clean up the premises in which livestock are raised.
• The frame of the unit is made of a sufficiently strong alloy, thanks to which the device is reliably protected from external damage. The "filling" is also made of a cast alloy, which has almost no joints. Hence, you can rest assured that your engine is safe.

Motor pumps for heavily contaminated water should be selected based on the following characteristics:

• price;
• performance;
• dimensions;
• engine view;
• the size of the nozzles;
• suction height;
• the level of contamination of the liquid.

And a few more tips to help you choose the best motor pump option.

• If your goal is to buy low-cost equipment for working with dirty water, then choose among gasoline models. Please note that the cost of a product is directly proportional to performance. Don't take the cheapest options.
• The most productive models of devices are used at the construction site. They are capable of processing up to 110 cubic meters of water in 60 minutes. The most purchased options are those intended for home use. And if you need to drain the basement, then you should not overpay for such power.
• Please note that on the packaging of the goods, the amount of the processed liquid per unit of time is indicated not in cubic meters, but in liters. The average parameter is considered to be an overflow of 8-9 liters in 1 second.

• The price for home pumps ranges from 15,000 to 50,000 rubles. High-performance models cost from 100,000 rubles and more.
• If you do not plan to use the pump on an ongoing basis, then you can get by with a rented unit. This will be a more profitable solution.
• Structures made for home use usually weigh no more than 45 kg.After completing all work, the device can be moved manually.
• Diesel versions make less loud noises than gasoline counterparts.
• If you use a gasoline motor pump, it will consume about 0.7 liters of gasoline per hour of use. Diesel will take even less.
