Winter in our climate requires prior preparations related to securing numerous equipment against frost. This is particularly important in the case of pumps in contact with water, because in the event of its freezing, there could be serious damage to the device. From our entry you will learn how to protect the deep pump for the winter?
Is frost dangerous for a deep pump?
Deep pump It is a device that is used to extract water from wells, whose depth exceeds 8 meters, as well as from water reservoirs. Its most important feature is the possibility of producing high pressure, thanks to which it provides an appropriate stream at all water intake points. Most often it is characterized by a compact structure - it has the form of a longitudinal cylinder in which the engine and hydraulic system are located. Thanks to its versatility, it is used in both single -family homes and in various types of industrial plants and farms.
In order for the deep pump to properly fulfill its functions, it must be immersed to a depth exceeding 8 meters. So it seems that freezing does not threaten her, because the frost does not reach so deeply. It should be remembered, however, that the pump is not an independent device, and water consumption is possible thanks to cooperation with a hydrophore set. For him, frost can be dangerous, so you should ensure proper preparation of the installation for winter.
Why is it worth taking care of proper protection of the hydrophore?
In order for the installation to survive the winter season safely, you need to drain the water from the hydrophore set on the deep pump. The water left in the hydrophore set under the influence of frost will increase its volume, which may result in the exploration of the device. To make sure it is safe, it can be dismantled and stored in a dry and warm place. To do this, disconnect the pump from the power supply, unscrew the hose connecting the pump with the hydrophore, and then pour water from the hydrophore tank. Do not worry that the remains of water will remain in it, because she will evaporate. The second way is to remove water from the installation and insulate the device itself.
Although the preparation of the pump and hydrophore set for winter can be a bit bothersome, it is certainly worth carrying out, because this will avoid failure and serious damage to the devices.
