Caliber pump - a complete review of the model range and customer reviews

A calm life outside the city far from the bustle of the metropolis can be somewhat overshadowed by the lack of such a benefit of civilization as the central water supply. In this case, the universal caliber water pump can become an indispensable assistant in the water supply of a private house or summer house. Let's figure out how to choose the right pump for certain economic needs in a suburban area.

Caliber pump in the water supply at home

In the absence of a central water supply system, artesian wells are used in household plots, as well as shallow wells and wells. Mine wells can be shallow - from 3-4 meters and buried - from 10 to 15 meters. The laying depth of an ordinary well is 20–40 meters, of an artesian well — more than 40 meters, depending on the occurrence of the aquifer.

To lift water from the depth of these alternative sources, a Caliber submersible borehole pump is installed.

Types of alternative sources of water on a personal plot

In downhole pumping equipment, two operating principles are applied - vibrational and centrifugal. Centrifugal pumps are more powerful and productive, therefore it is used for permanent water supply at home, vibration - for irrigation and small household needs.

It is important to know: When purchasing a “Caliber” submersible pump, it is necessary to select its diameter so that there is a margin between the walls of the well and the walls of the pump — the well pipe may have a curvature.

The rise of water from a depth of 25 m - "Caliber" NBC

Pumps of this type are used to supply water from wells, reservoirs, wells to the water supply system of a house. The pump casing is made of plastic, stainless steel or cast iron, which is displayed in the pump marking in the form of the letters P, H or H. The “Caliber” surface pump can be equipped with a submersible ejector - an additional element for water intake, which allows to increase the suction height. The cost of pumps of this type varies from 1000 to 3500 rubles.

Technical characteristics of the pumps "Caliber" NBC:

• Productivity 30 - 80 l / min
• Power consumption up to 900 W
• Maximum suction lift from 7 to 9 m
• Maximum lifting height from 30 to 60 m

It is important to know: Before switching on the pump, it is necessary to fill the suction lines of the unit with water. For these purposes, a special hole is located on the pump casing.

Submersible borehole models "Caliber" NPPC

Technical characteristics of pumps "Caliber" NPTSS:

• Productivity is from 1.2 to 1.5 m3 / hour
• Power consumption from 370 W to 1.1 kW
• Maximum lifting height from 50 to 100m
• Maximum immersion depth 5 m

Maximum suction particle size 1 mm

Submersible borehole pumps "Caliber" have the shape of a cylinder of small diameter and can be installed in any well

It is important to know: It is not recommended to use high power pumps at a shallow depth of the well - this can cause a pump breakdown.

Using the Caliber Pump for Watering - HBT Models

Vibration pump "Caliber" can be used in irrigation, irrigation and irrigation systems for lifting water from wells and boreholes, sometimes for automatic water supply. The main disadvantages of such pumps: noise in operation, limitation in the depth of water intake and low efficiency. Vibration pumps can use the upper or lower way of a set of water.

At the upper intake, the pump overheats less, since its entire body is immersed in water. Pumps of this type are equipped with built-in thermal protection, which turns off the unit in case of overheating or lack of water.

It is important to know: Prolonged use of a vibration pump in a well can lead to siltation.

In the marking of this pump, its power and the length of the power cord appear. The price of vibration submersible pumps is in the range of 800-2500 rubles.

Vibration pumps of this manufacturer are economical to operate and are perfect for watering a personal plot

Technical characteristics of the pumps "Caliber" NVT:

• Pump diameter from 78 to 98 mm
• Productivity from 7.5 to 40 l / min
• Maximum lifting height from 40 to 70 m
• Power cord length 10 to 25 m
• Power consumption from 200 W to 700 W

Drainage work with the pump "Caliber" SPC

Spring floods, long rains, emergency situations - all these factors can lead to flooding of the basement of the house and the accumulation of water in the garden. In this case, you can not do without a drainage pump. The Caliber drainage pump with the NPC marking is used to pump contaminated water from basements, cellars, ditches, wells, artificial reservoirs, pools. Some modifications of the pump are equipped with a float with a switch, which is activated in the event of a decrease in water level. This function protects the pump from overheating and failure.

Caliber drainage submersible pumps are indispensable for pumping contaminated water with inclusions of various fractions

Technical characteristics of drainage models:

• Productivity is from 8 to 18 m3 / hour
• Power consumption from 0.25 to 1.35 kW
• Maximum lifting height from 7 to 12 m
• The maximum size of the absorbed particles is from 5 mm to 35 mm

There are modifications to the Caliber pumps for drainage of sewage, which can pump liquids without limiting the maximum diameter of the suction particles. The marking of the drainage pump displays its power, the diameter of the suction particles and the material of which the housing is made.

What do consumers say?

Consumers note the low price and low noise level of the Caliber centrifugal pumps.

Among other positive qualities of this pumping equipment, we can distinguish the fact that well pumps work well in water with a high content of limestone.

The disadvantages of the “Caliber” units are the following features:

• After about a year of operation, the Caliber pump may wear out internal components made of powder metals, as well as corrosion of bolts and other external components of the assembly.
• Such a pump component as a coupling is rather unreliable and can quickly fail.
• If any components of the “Caliber” unit break down, you will have to wait a long time for components.
• Quite often, the “Caliber” water pump works intermittently, the relay constantly works, the continuous operation time is limited, so such a pump is hardly suitable for long-term irrigation.
