Hydrophore is an integral element of the hydrophore installation, whose task is to maintain constant water pressure. The hydrophore works with a surface pump and such a set is necessary to collect water from its own intake. The hydrophores are used in summer houses, on allotments, but also in single -family houses, service outlets or industrial plants. The costs of assembly and operation of hydrophores are low. However, the question arises, where to install a hydrophore?
Compact hydrophore under the sink
The hydrophore produced today is characterized by small dimensions. The hydrophore set consists of a pump and water tank and in a compact version it can be successfully installed inside the house. Hydrophore sets are very often placed in the basement of the building. Some hydrophore models will even fit under the sink, which is a practical and convenient solution. The capacity of such tanks is a maximum of 50-60 liters. Ready sets intended for sale are convenient to use and quiet. Remember that tanks with a pressure greater than 0.005 MPa/M³ must have a UDT testimony, and for drinking water should also have the approval of the National Hygiene Department.
The hydrophore in the house can be installed in a room where the temperature is not lower than +5 ° C, but not higher than +40 ° C. It must have an efficient ventilation, electrical and heating installation. The hydrophore floor should retain a decrease in 1% towards the sewer grilles. However, these are not all requirements. The room where we intend to install a hydrophore cannot be lower than 2.2m, and its minimum area is 5m2. It is necessary to ensure free access to the control opening. Place the hydrophore tank at a minimum distance of 0.6m from the wall. The pump from the set cannot be closer to the wall than 0.5m. All installations must be functional and waterproof. The capacity of the sewage system may not be less than the pump performance so that it is able to drain water in the event of a hydrophore failure.
Traditional hydrophore set in a concrete tank
Compact and Modern hydrophore They are very quiet, so they can be installed inside the house. However, traditional hydrophore sets have much larger dimensions and work much louder. For this reason, it is better to install them outside the house. A often practiced solution is to place a hydrophore in an underground concrete tank. On the one hand, this option allows you to hide the hydrophore set, and on the other it is an effective sound insulation. The tank is made of reinforced concrete, insulated with moisture foil and warms with a layer of polystyrene. The access hole is secured with a reinforced concrete plate and a waterproof cover. Currently, the current should be supplied to the water hydrophore to supply the heater under the tank and lighting. However, this solution is not protected against flooding and carries the risk of ventilation problems.
