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.

Owners of private houses periodically have to deal with the purchase of a household pump. This electrical device helps to organize water supply in the house, optimize the heating system, organize watering of the garden, etc. Centrifugal pumps occupy a special place in a wide range of models. They are highly efficient and can be used to pump not only water, but also antifreeze, oil and other technical fluids. To find the optimal pump for your needs, you should take into account the recommendations of the experts.

How to choose a centrifugal pump

1. Appointment. A centrifugal pump is a useful device in a heating system. Circulation models are best suited for this purpose. Surface pumps find a worthy place in the organization of water supply. This category should also be bought by summer residents, who often leave the site unattended. Submersible pumps are used to pump water from wells, boreholes and reservoirs. Some of them are not afraid of dirty water either.
2. Reliability and durability. In order for the pump to serve for more than one year, continuously pumping water, it is important to know what materials it is made of. Various polymers and stainless steel are not afraid of corrosion. The best option would be to manufacture the body, shaft and check valve from stainless steel, and the rotating parts (wheel) from plastic.
3. Performance. Parameters such as head, power and throughput should be selected depending on the installation site of the centrifugal pump. So in heating systems, high performance is not required, so the power is limited to 100 W, the lifting height is 6 m, and the throughput is 4 cu. m / h. For a pump that will be responsible for water supply, such indicators are clearly not enough. It is important to take into account the depth of the well or well, the length of the pipeline, the diameter of the pipes. Models with electric motors of at least 1 kW can provide the required performance.
4. Noise level. Not the most important indicator is the noise level that a centrifugal pump emits during operation. Especially when it comes to watering the beds or water supply. But when the device is constantly working in the heating system, then loud noise can become a serious problem. In this case, you need to pay attention to low-noise models.
5. Water quality. Not all pumps are equally unpretentious in terms of water purity. One of the metrics is the maximum particle size allowed for the model. If grains of sand up to 1 mm in size are allowed, then such a device is intended for pumping clean water. Drains are able to easily pass through themselves liquid with solid particles up to 5 mm, and their concentration can reach 2-3 kg per cubic meter of water.
6. Convenience in work. Modern centrifugal pumps can be equipped with additional accessories that make life easier for the owner. The float switch will allow the summer resident to go about his business while the pump waters the garden. As soon as the water level drops to a dangerous level, the float will turn off the pump. Various sensors and relays can prevent the motor output from overheating or dry running.

We have selected the 8 best centrifugal pumps for our review. They have passed a rigorous selection from the expert community and Russian consumers.
