Hydrophore Pumps
What are hydrophore systems and pumps?
The hydrophore is a self-contained water system and can provide independence for your household or farm. The main components of a hydrophore system include a pump, control devices and pressure switch (control device).
Hydrophore pumps are devices used for water supply or increasing water pressure in home and garden systems. They are extremely useful in areas with low water pressure, ensuring a steady and strong water flow.
This type of pump is suitable for water supply in residential buildings and farms, for irrigation system construction, for increasing pressure in plumbing installations, for drainage, and more.
How to choose the right hydrophore pumps
When selecting a hydrophore pump, it’s important to consider several factors:
-
Capacity and Pressure: Different pump models offer varying levels of pressure and capacity. Choose a pump that meets your needs.
-
Suction Depth
-
Water Column
-
Tank Capacity
-
Brand: Rely on reputable brands like Metabo, Raider Garden Tools, and Raider Pro.
-
System Type: Different types of hydrophore systems exist, including those with an electronic pressure switch that offers additional automation and control.
Types of hydrophore pumps
Based on operation and control, hydrophores can be:
-
With an Electronic Pressure Switch: These pumps are equipped with electronic control that automatically regulates water pressure and ensures better efficiency. Usually, they do not include an expansion tank (although in some cases, a small tank is recommended). This type of pump, however, activates each time water is used and operates at maximum power regardless of the amount of water consumed.
-
With a Mechanical Pressure Switch: A more traditional option that requires manual adjustment but is more affordable and easier to maintain. A hydrophore pump with a mechanical pressure switch includes an expansion tank and a pressure switch. When the pump starts and the pressure value is pre-set, the pump begins to work and sends water to the storage tank.
-
Frequency-Controlled (Variable Speed): Frequency-controlled hydrophore pumps are the most modern version of hydrophore systems, ensuring consistent water pressure regardless of how many taps are open. Equipped with a frequency converter, these pumps adjust motor speed to match system needs, offering high energy efficiency and quiet operation.
Based on suction depth and positioning, hydrophores can be surface-mounted, submersible, and borehole:
-
Surface: Surface-mounted hydrophores are the most common type and can pump water from a well or other source up to 6-7 meters deep.
-
Submersible hydrophore pump: Designed for wells deeper than 6 meters and suitable for submersion in water. It is suitable for draining flooded areas.
-
Borehole hydrophore pumps: Specifically suited for deep wells, similar to standard borehole pumps, and can be installed in narrow openings.
