How Your Home Could Benefit from the Right Pressure-Based Sewage Pump

Sewage pumps offer an excellent alternative to traditional gravity sewage systems, in fact they are necessary for certain applications, particularly where waste needs to move upward from a septic tank. However, when used in any household, they can have a number of unique advantages when compared to traditional systems.

Consistent Flow of Waste

Because they are not reliant on gravity, sewage pumps offer a more consistent and even flow of waste. It is important that this flow is consistent when travelling to the tank as irregular flow could easily lead to blockages or drops in pressure that make the system ineffective.

Efficient & Effective

With the ability to move well over 700 litres of water-waste a minute, sewage pumps provide much more effective and efficient means of waste-removal than more traditional systems. This is a big deal for blockages, since large quantities moving at a slow rate can significantly reduce the efficiency of the septic tank in your home.

Waste can Travel Against Gravity

In traditional systems, waste needs to travel with the assistance of gravity. While there is nothing intrinsically wrong with this, it does mean that a gravity-based system will have to flow downward to effectively allow waste to travel to its destination.

This will obviously have a significant impact on the way that the system is designed.

Sewage pumps on the other hand do not need to take gravity into account, allowing waste to flow from any direction.

Submersible pumps, also called ESPs (electric submersible pumps, as they are connected to an electric motor) are used both at home, as a water pressure booster system, and industrially for drainage, sewage pumping and seawater handling, to name but a few uses.

How does it work?

The submersible water pump pushes liquid to the surface – as opposed to a centrifugal water pump which pulls liquids before pushing. As soon as the pressure switch is turned on, an impeller will start to spin, which is what draws water into the pump. Because it is designed to work under the earth’s surface (similar to a sump pump), it will not function unless it is submerged in liquid. This pump is also an energy saver – it creates pressure about 30% faster than other pumps and does not work against gravity.

What are the benefits?
One major advantage of using a submersible water pump, is that it never needs to be primed, as the pump is already submerged in liquid. Another benefit is that the pump itself prevents cavitation, a problem that often occurs when there is a high elevation difference between the pump and fluid surface. Additionally, submersible pumps are quieter (especially useful in a residential setting), convenient because it is lightweight and portable, more efficient, safe (as potentially dangerous components are submerged) and it takes much less prep work than other pumps.

Where is it used?
The most common application for a submersible pump, is in construction sites, to pump excess water or fluids from areas like basements. Other uses include pumping slurries, inland or offshore oil wells, boreholes and even in irrigation systems.

How long will the pump last?
Submersible pumps can last up to ten years, but there have been cases of residential submersible pumps that last up to fifteen years, if they only accommodate moderate water usage.

Ease of Use

Not only is Zuwa pumps simple to install and use it quite cost effective. Zuwa pumps have been in the industry for over 7 decades making them a very reliable option for any project that requires the use of a pump. The Zuwa brand is constantly working at improving their product so that it is always leading the industry.

 

Zuwa Pump Uses

Zuwa Pumps and flat suction systems are a great way to get rid of water in most flooding scenarios. Typically used for flooded basements, garages, homes and platform roofs. These places might flood due to heavy rains or broken and leaking pipes. Zuwa Pumps can even be used to empty residue from swimming pools and will empty flooded areas to a near dry state.

 

Suction Mats

Suction mats are used for clearing fluids after an area has been pumped or for stubborn low-level fluids. The suction mat will remove fluids from all areas in direct contact of the suction mat. The mats are slightly flexible so use on uneven surfaces like concreted basements can be very effective. Mats can even be connected to each other to increase the area covered.

 

Versatility and Strength

Zuwa pumps are not only limited to water, the pumps can be used to pump out a variety of different liquids including oil, diesel and heating oil to name a few. Zuwa pumps are quite powerful and can pump out small debris like soil or solid articles from areas such as basements with concrete flooring.

A borehole(also known as a tube well)is as a structure used to expose water that is hidden in the interstices or in the cracks of a rock embedded in the sub-soil that is also called the aquifer.

The water can be raised to ground level either by using a simple receptable (eg. Bucket) or a motor driven pump.

Boreholes that are manually dug are one of the oldest sources of water amongst the poorest communities.

In days of old , the boreholes were simply holes dug with absolutely no form of protection against collapsing.

Their inability to withstand harsh weather conditions led to them disappearing over the years. Of course then they constantly had to dig new boreholes because the ones they had previously dug had either collapsed or dried up quickly.

 

Boreholes remain one of the most effective and reliable sources of water among the poorest communities. Having to travel long distances to get access to water is a struggle many still have to face.

Even though there are rivers in most poor communities, the water from these rivers are not fit for human consumption. These rivers are where people bath, do laundry and for some these same rivers are lavatories.

Thus making it a breeding ground for multiple illnesses. The borehole system however, requires the, to either use a pump or a pulley system to bring the water up to ground level thus reducing but not completely eradicating the levels of contamination.

Manually dug holes are still subject to contamination by humans because they usually only go up to 20m below ground which is very shallow.

Now given the fact that boreholes are used primarily in the poorest communities, these people do not have access to mechanical means of digging the boreholes.

It is only fair to say that drilling and driven techniques need to be enforced around affected areas. It would be a small price to pay so that all people, no matter their social standing, have access to clean and fresh water.

A Dry Faucet

No water making its way to the taps could mean that there is no power coming to the pump.

Sputtering

Air in the pump results in aerated water. This could be caused by a cracked pipe, poor submersion or a faulty valve.

Dirty Water

Dirty yields could be the result of sediment in the pump, which if left too long, will eventually cause a breakdown in its internal parts.

Increased Power consumption

When pumps become faulty they need to overcompensate, which takes up a lot more electricity. This results in higher power costs for you.

The perfect way to access pure and natural underground water is to use a borehole. boreholes have a narrow shaft that is drilled vertically and horizontally into the ground so you can access water underground, this will probably be the purest water you have ever had.

A borehole is used as a water well and is completed by using vertical pipes and screening to keep the borehole from caving in.

Boreholes can be used for a variety of reasons, like the extraction of water, you can use it as a sprinkler system on your property.

Boreholes can be used to measure the temperature, or it can also act as an underground storage for unwanted substances. Boreholes prevent surface contaminations from entering the borehole and protects any installed pump from bringing in sand.  What is a borehole without borehole pipes?

Benefits of borehole pipes

In order to design a water pump, you should account for protective measures, things that will keep your pump running for longer, corrosion and age. PVC piping can ensure that this job will be done and will provide this kind of protection.

• Corrosion resistant – PVC piping being made from certain and specific materials, it is completely corrosive resistant, making it perfect for borehole pumps which will provide the kind of environment where corrosion thrives.
• Durable, liable and long-lasting – PVC piping is a long-lasting product, which is why it is used all over the world in buildings and most homes. PVC piping is resistant to wear and tear and other damages.
• Simple to install – PVC is a very easy material to maintain and very easy to install, thus little tools will be needed to install your borehole piping.

A submersible pump is a mechanical device that serves multiple purposes and is one the most of the most extensively used automatic devices. A submersible pump , also known as a an electric submersible pump or sub pump , is a pump that can be fully submerged in water . The motor is hermetically sealed and close-coupled to the body of the pump.

Advantages

The main advantage of this type of pump is that it prevents pump cavitation , or the formation of an air bubble , a problem associated with a high elevation difference between pump and the fluid surface. Sub Pumps push the fluids to the surface as opposed to jet pumps having to pull fluids down. Thus making sub pumps more efficient than jet pumps because they don’t use a lot of energy moving water , water pressure pushes the water into a submersible pump which in turn saves a lot of the pumps energy. The pumps are also very quiet due to the fact that they are submerged under water , which also helps with cooling the motor down.

How it works

A submersible pump pushes water to the surface by converting rotary energy into kinetic energy and further converts to pressure energy. This takes place when water is pulled into the pump as an intake , where the rotations of the impeller push water through the diffuser and from there it goes to the surface.

Uses

Submersible pumps are used for used for many things. Single stage pumps are used for drainage , sewage pumping , general industrial pumping and slurry pumping. Multiple stage pumps are usually lowered down into a borehole and most typically used for residential , commercial , municipal and industrial water extraction.

Also whilst the pumps themselves aren’t very versatile , the selection definitely is. Some submersible pumps can easily handle solids , while some are better suited for liquids only.

Side-channel pumps offer the best of both worlds in terms of water pumping solutions, operating somewhere in between displacement pumps and centrifugal ones. They offer a unique and safe way for the transfer of clean fluids, and are used for a wide range of applications across a number of industries. They offer a number of advantages when compared to pumps for other types of fluid control systems, offering enhanced safety, more effective flow properties, as well as reduced NPSH requirements.

Enhanced Safety through Self-Priming

When they are initially run, side-channel pumps function much in the way that displacement pumps do. As the side channels are filled with liquid, however, they start to collect liquid from the outer regions of the side-channels and impeller cells, which allows it to act like a centrifugal pump. This facilitates an important function, namely self-priming. This makes them much safer to use than other pumping solutions.

Gas Transport with Uninterrupted Fluid Flow

Some processes require pumps to evacuate gas at essential points, and this needs to happen without interrupting the liquid flow. Pulsed pressure build-ups in side-channel pumps create an internal multi-stage effect which facilitates gas transport without interrupting liquid flow. This stops the pump from being damaged as a result of dry running, which in other systems, tends to damage pump bearings.

Reduced NPSH Requirements

NPSH requirements describe the minimum pressure required at the suction port in order to keep it from cavitation. Side-channel pumps produce pulse pressure build ups that result in an internal multi-stage effect that lowers potential pump speeds. This is thanks to higher pump heads and slower pump speeds. This increases expected lifespans for these pumps, and also offers greater control over noise.

While gravity sewer pumps have been a staple of homes and buildings all over the world, they are not necessarily the most effective solution for removing water-waste. They come with their own set of advantages, but when compared to more carefully designed, modern sewage pumps, they do leave a lot to be desired.

Sewage Pumps Save Money

Sewage pumps are designed to be dependable, and works by rejecting materials that are too hard to be broken down. This allows them to work without any undue pressure that may cause them to break-down or become ineffective as time goes on. This means that you will be spending less time and money on maintenance in the long-run.

Sewage Pumps are Environmentally Friendly

The right sewage pump works by reducing the amount of harmful chemicals in sewage water. These compounds, with more traditional gravity systems, will generally find their way into natural eco-systems, contaminating them, water and even food sources, where they can pose a risk to human, animal and plant life.

Installation is Simple

Sewage pumps are compact and designed to be installed with relative ease, even in tight spaces. Furthermore, installing them with the help of a technician (which is advised) is generally inexpensive.

Works with High Sewage Lines

In buildings and homes where high sewage-lines make it impossible for gravity pumps to push water-waste uphill, sewage pumps are actually essential for correct removal of waste products. Even when high sewage-lines are not a problem, sewage pumps allow water to be pumped sustainably and evenly.
