For a comfortable life in a country house, it is important to have an autonomous water supply. For this purpose, the master prepares a well or a well. Water is supplied by a properly selected pumping station. One of the popular brands of pumping equipment is the German Metabo. At the same time, from the entire model range, you can choose a unit according to the most suitable technical characteristics.
The principle of operation and design of pumping stations Metabo
- pressure switch ensuring continuous operation of the unit;
- pressure gauge for monitoring station indicators;
- hydroaccumulator - a storage tank with a built-in membrane;
- centrifugal pump with impellers made of durable polymer.
The pumping unit works in this way:
- The thin ejector tube helps the pump to suck up the water. The tank is completely filled until the pressure in it rises to the maximum set.
- The pump switches off. The system has a supply of water.
- When you turn on the tap in the house, the liquid leaves the accumulator. From this, the pressure in the tank decreases.
- As soon as the lower value reaches the set value, the pump turns on and pumps water into the accumulator.
The cycles of the station are repeated without changes.
Model range and technical characteristics
Despite the fact that all modifications of Metabo stations are assembled in China, the Germans (brand owners) carefully monitor the quality of the products.
Metabo HWW 5500 | 20 G
The model refers to units of medium power. The station body is made of cast iron. The capacity is 3.3 m3 / h. Weight - only 16 kg. Power - 1.5 kW. Head - 55 m. Maximum working pressure - 5.5 bar. The volume of the tank is 24 liters. The lifting height of the liquid is up to 9 m. The model successfully pumps water with small inclusions (up to 5 microns). The unit has a separate water inlet, which makes it easy to start the station. Additionally, the model is equipped with durable O-rings. This increases its service life.
Metabo HWW 4000 | 20 GL
The model has the following specifications:
- productivity - 4 m3 / hour;
- suction depth - up to 9 m;
- head - 48 m;
- power - 1 300 W;
- maximum pressure - 4.8 bar;
- the volume of the accumulator is 24 liters.
The station, with its high power, is very economical in energy consumption.
Metabo HWW 4000 | 20 S
The following technical indicators are inherent in the Metabo station:
- power - 1.3 kW;
- productivity - 4 m3 / hour;
- head - 48 m;
- weight - 17.2 kg;
- storage tank volume - 24 l;
- case - stainless steel.
The unit is equipped with a stainless steel drive shaft. As a result, the internal mechanisms are protected from corrosion.
Metabo HWW 9000 | 100 G
One of the most powerful models. It is capable of pumping 9 m3 of water per hour at a power of 1.9 kW. Head - 51 m, suction depth - 9 meters. The maximum working pressure is 5.1 bar. This model of a pumping station is often used to organize autonomous water supply to several objects at once. At the same time, the installation is capable of pumping water with the inclusion of small impurities (up to 10 microns).
Metabo HWW 4000 | 20 S Plus
The unit body is made of stainless steel. The station can be operated even without a special room for it. Water absorption depth - up to 8 m; head - 48 meters; unit power - 1300 W; productivity - 4 m3 / hour. The volume of the storage tank is 24 liters.
Features of operation and maintenance
Like most stations, the equipment of the German brand Metabo is sold ready for installation. Even an inexperienced master does not have any difficulty with its installation and connection. For more reliable operation of the equipment, it is recommended to immediately put a coarse filter on the inlet hose.
Due to the fact that the station automation ensures its reliable operation, the master may not disassemble the unit annually. The system itself adjusts the on / off cycles. The manufacturer recommends avoiding freezing of the installation. Therefore, it is better to arrange a special caisson under it if the station is to be operated in winter.
When using the equipment only in summer, in the off-season, it must be disassembled, drained, lubricated and put into a dry place.
Reviews of Metabo products
Judging by the reviews about the Metabo pumping stations, the German installations operate without interruptions, are easy to connect, and do not require special maintenance.
Nikita, 32 years old. For a family of two, Metabo took 3000 into a one-story house. Initially, he set the pressure to 4.5 bar. The system works like a watch. There is water in the taps, even if my wife washes the dishes in the kitchen, and I take a shower. The station is in the basement. Doesn't make much noise. Satisfied.
Yura, 37 years old. A year ago, I took the German unit Metabo HWW 4000/20 S PLUS at the insistence of a friend. I was not mistaken. Enough installation for irrigation and water supply to the cottage (family of 4 people). I installed it myself. Everything is simple there. The main thing is to immediately pour water into the system. I prepared a special rubberized platform for the unit so that it does not vibrate. But I see that I would work quietly anyway.
Anton, 35 years old. Metabo took the station when he bought the dacha. I use it purely for watering in the summer, so as not to carry water in buckets. I have been using it for the third year already, no breakdowns and failures have been found. I put it in the garage for the winter. I pre-lubricate the rotating working units.
