10 best manufacturers of pumps for wells

Pumps for the well are the main means of collecting water from deep wells. Not long ago, the owners of private houses (remote from water supply points) used them for household needs. However, at the present stage, their mission was limited only to pumping water for irrigation of summer cottages, gardens and other land plots.

All well pumps are divided into two separate types:

1. Submersible, made in a compact elongated housing, they are completely submerged under water, providing suction through the body nozzle. Structurally, this nozzle can be located both at the top and at the bottom - the depth to which the installation should be lowered depends on its location.
2. Surface mounted in close proximity to a well or well. Produce a water intake through the respective sleeve, which, together with the water intake valve, is lowered to a depth.

The current stage of development of pumps has led to an unprecedented rise in submersible models, the technical parameters of which are much closer to the parameters of surface installations. The same phenomenon led to the preferences of consumers, who, for a number of objective reasons, began to prefer miniature submersible models to their more dimensional “opponents”.

As for the production of pumps, more than 100 companies of various levels of equipment and popularity, whose products somehow flash on the shelves of stores, are functioning all over the world. However, only a few of them are trusted by consumers, confirming this with a stable level of sales and complementary reviews. After a thorough analysis of the market, we ranked the best manufacturers of pumps for the well, collected in the general thematic list.

Top 10 best manufacturers of pumps for the well

10 "Vortex"

The Russian whirlwind company, which has close price similarities with (nominally American, but in fact Chinese) firm Hammer, continues the theme of budget pumping installations. The bulk of the range of its well pumps does not go beyond 2,000 rubles, invariably remaining below the line, even when the average market price rises.

The most popular representatives of "Whirlwind" are the submersible pump VN-10B and centrifugal PN-650. With a rated power of 280 W, the performance of the first is 1.08 m³\ hour, and the pressure often approaches the mark of 72 m. The second one is distinguished by a higher power value (650 W), 3.6 cubic meters of throughput, as well as a 45-meter head. What is the catch, you ask? The fact is that most models have no protection (neither from overheating, nor even from the dry run). This is exactly the case with the first applicant - the second level still has protection against overheating. However, in this case we are not talking about risks: the cooling from the water to the pumps is more than enough.

9 Quattro elementi

The Italian company Quattro Elementi has established itself as a world-class manufacturer, but despite this, in the segment of pumping equipment it is still a representative of the second echelon.There is a certain intention and a subtle, competent calculation in this: it seems that the production base is not able to support the company's entry into a different level of competition, and therefore it is reasonable to make a profit from the budgetary segment of the market.

Whatever it was, but even in this case Quattro Elementi has something to stand out. Budget pump model Acquatico 280 has a capacity of 280 W and produces water up to 1.1 m³\hour. It would seem, not the most impressive result, but all this is accompanied by a tremendous pressure equal to 80 m, which even the elite models presented in the rating are not capable of developing. The Acquatico 390 pump, designed for “extraction” of 1.56 cubic meters of water every hour, has a little more impressive parameters.

8 "Bison"

One of the numerous representatives of domestic production in the ranking, the main feature of which is the manufacture of low-budget but very durable pumps for a well with satisfactory technical parameters. As practice has shown, it is these models that have the highest percentage of sales, at least in our country.

One of the brightest representatives of the company is the Zubr pump ZNVP-300-40 of the second modification, whose performance (at a power of 225 W) is quite good 1.44 m³\hour. At first glance, it looks very good: cheap, economical, productive. However, the snag is that it can only work at depths of up to 3 meters.

The “Bison” NPV-240-40, whose power is 240 W with the same characteristics, has a practically similar set of parameters. There is a small gap at a price, as well as ease of assembly (the total weight is 4.1 kg).

7 Hammer

Similarly to the domestic company "JELEX", Hammer is a manufacturer of pumps of various levels of value, and, it is worth noting, it succeeds significantly in this field. Despite the occasional “derogation” of individual models from consumers, in general, the range of products looks very impressive. What is almost legendary model of the well compressor NAP 900, whose performance is a whopping 14 cubic meters hourly. Yes, let the pressure in the maximum not reach even 10 m, and you can immerse it no more than 9 m, but at one time it was this “config” that gave impetus to the development of the segment.

The extreme opposite of the Hammer product range is the NAP 200 pump designed for pumping water from a 10-meter depth of 1.05 cubic meters per hour with a pressure of 75 m. However, its advantage is not even in its characteristics (especially since they are rather weak ). Despite the very low cost, this pump has two levels of protection (from overheating and dry running), which sometimes do not come across even on expensive models of competitors.

6 "GILEX"

"DZHILEKS" - a domestic company with a great heritage, the history of which has more than 20 years of successful work. It is almost the only one that has preserved the development of past years in the assortment, and added to them the latest technology. Separation can be seen with the naked eye: the new pumps have an updated design that meets modern quality standards, higher cost, as well as a different selection of technical characteristics.

Similarly, we will draw an artificial parallel with two accompanying examples. "GILEKS Topol Kid" with a 10-meter cable is a development that came at the very beginning of the activities of the domestic manufacturer. Its capacity is 1.5 m³\ hour with a rated power of 240 watts. The equipment of the new model range is represented by the most popular version of “Water Cannon A” - PROF 55 \ 75 for 3.3 cubic meters of water with a pressure of 75 m, a power of 900 W and the possibility of diving to a depth of 30 m.

5 Gardena

German manufacturer of medium-high price segment, providing users with, perhaps, the widest range of various pumping equipment. This is the main "chip" of the company - any user can find in her "bins" something for themselves.

But, as practice shows, the following models are the most popular among them. GARDENA 5500/5 Inox Premium, being a mid-level pump, provides the following technical characteristics: power in the region of 850 W; performance - 5.5 m³/ hour with a pressure of not more than 45 m; pumping depth - 20 m. Very good configuration, even for premium technology. A more expensive version of the submersible pump is the GARDENA 6000/5 Comfort, whose power is 1050 watts. Diving to a little less significant depth (13 m), he is able to pump out 6 cubic meters of water with a pressure, the value of which closely approaches the same 45 m.

4 "Livgidromash"

Another domestic representative of the ranking of the best with a great track record, is rightly considered a popular manufacturing company. The popularity of the Livgidromash brand is unshakable - thousands of consumers continue to use pumps for its manufacture, expressing complete agreement with the policy of offering a reliable product at a very low price.

Structurally, the pumps of this company are very similar to what the Whirlwind or JELEX manufactures, but their technical parameters are disproportionately higher, and they serve more time (judging by user reviews). As illustrative examples, we present the “Malysh-M” model BV 0.12-40 and “The Brook” BV 0.12-40. Despite small discrepancies in the power parameter (240 and 300 W, respectively), both of these pumps provide pumping of 1.5 cubic meters of water per hour with a constant pressure reaching 60 m.

3 Espa

Founded in 1952, the Spanish company ESPA has always had a reputation as an innovator in the field of pumping equipment. Her style is to squeeze the maximum out of the modest parameters of installations while maintaining a high working life under adequate operating conditions.

Visual evidence of these words is manifested in absolutely all representatives of the Spanish grants, including the segment of pumps for the well. So, ESPA Acuaria07 3M A has a capacity of 3.9 m³\ hour with a concomitant pressure of 33 m and a maximum immersion depth to the standard 20 m. In this case, the nominal power of the pump is 600 watts.

Paradoxically, against the background of the first representative, the 950-watt ESPA Acuaplus model looks almost 2 times more expensive, but losing performance by 0.9 m³\hour. A reasonable question about the legitimacy of the price has a very short and concise answer: the high cost of installation is based on the exorbitant resource of work, which is noted by the manufacturer and the users themselves.

2 Wilo SE

The German production company, founded in 1872 in Dortmund, is the largest market player with representation in 60 countries. Its products are distinguished not only by their bright design, but also by their operational features, due to which it is very popular among local summer residents and owners of private houses.

In parallel with the powerful pumping units, Wilo SE also produces portable versions of well compressors, the capacity of which in the line does not fall below 5-6 m³\hour. As the most successful models, we single out Wilo TWI 5-SE 505 FS with a power of 900 W and the ability to work at a depth of 20 m, and Wilo TWI 5 306 is a pump with a built-in control relay for 1200 W, a pressure of 65 m and a maximum immersion depth of the same 20 m.Judging by the consumer reviews, these installations do an excellent job, offsetting the high cost of a high degree of durability.

1 Grundfos

Founded in 1945, the Danish company is one of the recognized leaders in the pumping equipment segment. The annual volume of production is about 16 million units, a third of which falls on well pumps. An important fact is the fact that the company's representative offices are open in 56 countries, including Russia (Leshkovo, Moscow region).

All Grundfos pumps adequately manifest themselves in operational aspects, which, in general, eliminates an important nuance in the form of a large price. Consumer reviews speak of excellent performance of the equipment, excellent external design (black and red), and a high degree of reliability. As the main representatives of the segment, the following models should be highlighted:

• SB 3-35 A (power: 800 W, performance: 3 m³/ h, head: 35 m);
• centrifugal JPD 4-47 PT-V (power: 860 W, performance: 3.6 m³/ h, head: 47 m).
