The water supply station "Belamos" is needed on those highways where simple pressure equipment cannot cope. The devices are capable of supplying water to not one, but several houses, which is why they are often used for farms. They are used for feeding large cottages with water - in all cases when the level of water consumption exceeds standard volumes.
Device and principle of operation
- When water enters the hydraulic accumulator, separated by a membrane, the compartment intended for it is filled.
- By compressing the air in the second chamber, the pressure increases.
- As soon as the required volume of liquid is pumped, the pump automatically stops working.
After the pumping equipment is turned off, the water supply is carried out at the expense of the water accumulated in the hydraulic tank. When the pressure drops to a minimum value, the relay starts the station, and the pump pumps liquid into the tank. If the amount of water consumption is small, the pressure device will not turn on when the tap is opened. It will only work when the pressure drops to a minimum value. The pressure level can be adjusted in the range of 0.5–4.5 bar.
If the power supply is cut off, the battery retains a certain amount of water. The stations are available with 20 l and 100 l hydraulic tanks.
The automated water supply system is equipped with asynchronous motors, which are enclosed in oil baths. This contributes to better cooling of the device, so that it works great even at 35 degrees Celsius.
The use of a pumping unit allows you to reduce the number of starts and stops of the pump, thereby increasing its operating period and reducing electricity consumption.
Technical characteristics of popular models
The characteristics of the stations most popular according to reviews differ somewhat:
- Belamos XA 06 ALL is able to work for a long time. Stability is ensured by special feet. Equipped with an ejector, but not protected against dry start. Productivity - 47 liters per minute, immersion depth - 8 meters.
- Belamos XK 09 E is equipped with an electronic control unit that controls the work in an automated mode. The device is lightweight and easy to carry thanks to a special handle. Productivity - 47 liters per minute, immersion depth - 8 meters. A non-return valve is not included in the package, but experts advise to install it.
- Belamos XI 08 ALL is capable of withstanding significant loads and is designed for trouble-free operation. The volume of the battery is 24 liters. Productivity - 50 liters per minute, immersion depth - 8 meters. There is an ejector, not equipped with dry start protection.
- Belamos XA 111 ALL features increased power, long-term trouble-free operation. The immersion depth is 8 meters, the productivity is 58 liters per minute. There is an ejector and an automatic shutdown device in case of overheating, there is no protection against dry start.
High throughput capacity - 3.6 m3 / hour, compactness, economical energy consumption and operation from an ordinary power grid made the installations in demand for country houses and small and medium-sized businesses.
Advantages and disadvantages
The equipment has the following advantages:
- reliability and durability;
- great productivity;
- the ability to pump liquid to a height of up to 70 meters;
- easy installation;
- modern design;
- pumping water from a depth of at least 8 meters;
- reasonable cost;
- work in a fully automated mode.
The pumping stations have the necessary certification and fully comply with all the requirements of GOST.
Reviews of the pumping stations of the Belamos brand are mostly positive. The owners are pleased with the good pressure, engine endurance, low noise, convenient location of the water filling hole.
However, users also note the disadvantages: exactingness to the connection of hoses. If you save on inclusions, the pressure jumps back and forth, and the station does not pull the double-circuit boiler.
The operation and maintenance of installations is no different in complexity. However, all devices are superficial, respectively, it is necessary to insulate hoses and pipelines in the cold season. For the winter period, it is necessary to bring the device into a heated room or initially install it in a warm room.
