14 best pumps for wells

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Private house owners are well aware of the problem of water supply. Few settlements in our country can boast of having a water supply network. Therefore, a well or a well becomes a source of water. A good borehole pump is required to lift life-giving moisture to the surface of the earth, providing a house or irrigation system with water. When choosing this appliance, experts recommend paying attention to several parameters.

How to choose a pump for a well

1. Performance. You should not chase high pump performance if the capabilities of the well or well are unknown. The fact is that the filling of each water source is very different. It is very good when the well was done by professionals, after which they provided the owner with a passport with the necessary data. Then the pump capacity is chosen less than the filling of the well. But for old wells, it will be necessary to experimentally determine the volume of water that comes in per unit of time. The capacity of borehole pumps ranges from 1 to 10 cubic meters. m / h. Summer residents are able to fully provide water to a pump with a capacity of 1-3 cubic meters / h
2. Aggression. In order for water to flow from the tap with a good pressure, and not a thin stream, it is necessary to take into account such a parameter as the maximum pressure. It can be calculated as follows. 30 is added to the depth of the well (well), and 10% is added to the resulting number. In the case of a 10-meter well, the optimum head is 45 m.
3. When choosing a pump, not all buyers pay attention to water quality. If we are talking about supplying clean fluid from a well, then any model with the required set of characteristics will do. But in the case of water pollution with sand, it is better to give preference to a screw pump, which does not fail from the ingress of solid particles.
4. All well pumps are divided into two groups: submersible and surface. They have their pros and cons.
5. Submersible models are capable of delivering water from great depths. Therefore, it is recommended to buy them for owners of wells with a depth of more than 10 m. In this category of pumps, vibratory, screw and centrifugal installations compete with each other. The most affordable of them are vibrating “streams” and “babies”. But with prolonged use, wells are destroyed, wells silted up. Therefore, do not spare money, maintenance of a well or well will subsequently turn out to be a more expensive project.
6. Surface models are capable of sucking water only from shallow wells and wells (up to 10 m). They are great because they work indoors and are easy to control and maintain.

Our review includes 14 of the best pumps for wells. When compiling the rating, the opinions of experts and reviews of domestic users were taken into account.

Which pump for a well is better than a screw or centrifugal

Pump type	Advantages	disadvantages
Screw	+ high head + no depth limit + not afraid of dirty water + easy maintenance + affordable price	– large overall dimensions – all pumps are submersible – there is no way to dose the water supply
Centrifugal	+ versatility + compactness + high reliability + low noise level + wide range	– exactingness to water quality – high price
