Functional capabilities of fecal pumps
Modern faecal pumps for toilet bowls are designed for wastewater treatment, in which there are no solid particles - stones and other items that can cause a breakdown of the main working element. They are not equipped with a special filtering mesh and have certain limitations on the diameter of the flow pipe, most often it is 35 mm. At the same time, some models are developed with shredders that minimize the risk of system breakdowns and accelerate the process of wastewater outflow. Almost all pumps are choppers for toilet and simpler designs operate automatically due to the presence of a switch with a float.
Important! The current range of different manufacturers is quite diverse, which allows you to choose an optimal solution for a specific task. Therefore, do not hurry, carefully pick up your requirements and relate them to a personal budget. If possible, consult with experts, since the quality of the pump system will largely depend on the overall comfort of your stay in the house.
Criteria for the selection of the pump for toilet
Before buying a pump for toilet, be sure to read the standard requirements and determine the conditions of operation in your own home. This approach will help to significantly simplify and speed up the process of choosing and maintaining equipment in the future.
The main selection criteria include:
- system performance - under this indicator means the rate of pumping and daily sewage volume;
- possible depth of pump immersion;
- the section of the sewage pipe through which the spent mass is supplied to the wastewater or septic tank;
- dimensions of solid impurities that may be in the system;
- the distance from the place of water to the site to the site, where they will move - usually this indicator is not more than 100 meters horizontally and 10 meters vertically;
- the ability to connect additional technical equipment that will serve not only the toilet, but also other plumbing items - a bath, a shower cabin, a washing machine, a kitchen sink, etc.;
- the temperature of the transported wastewater - may vary in the range from 40 to 90 degrees, in a broader sense it relates to which water will pump the pump, hot or cold.
Calculation of power pump for toilet
To understand how power it is necessary to buy a pump for toilet, it is enough to make a calculation by the formula:
H + L / 10 \u003d X
- X - this is the desired height indicator on which wastewater can move as much as possible;
- H is the depth of the pump immersion;
- L is the desired hose length from the very place of the sewer water to the place where it will be transported (the number is taken in meters and share on 10).
Important! An example of calculation for this formula:
That is, the purchased pump is designed to raise water by 7 m. Be sure to consider that if the equipment will work all the time at maximum power, the risk of failures is significantly increasing. The simplest solution to this problem is to buy a pump for toilet bowl, the price of which is not so much different for neighboring indicators, with a power reserve.
Types of fecal pumps
Before you choose a suitable pump for toilet in your own home, it will not be superfluous to find out what equipment is suitable for the sewage arrangement in a private house. All sewage pumps are distinguished by several principles. The first of these is the features of the device and the depth of the installation. This feature is distinguished:
- Submersible pumps. Such equipment is widely functional. With it, it is possible not only to remove wastewater from the toilet and septica, but also effectively draw water when flooding basement, accumulation of stormwater, you can even use it for watering plants on the territory adjacent to home. When constructing such a pump, the fact that it will be installed in the conditions of an aggressive chemical medium. Therefore, the hull and other important work parts are made of durable, stainless steel-resistant materials and cast iron.
Important! Mounted such a sewer pump from the surface of the Earth, gradually blocking it to the desired level in the container below the sewage level. The capacity of such equipment is up to 40 kW, which allows transporting liquid to 400 m3 / hour, even to a height of up to 20 meters. Ideally suitable models for the exhibition of cottages or a cottage of continuous use.
- Semi-grade. This type of plumbing equipment is installed in the container, which is to be cleaned. When installing, the mandatory rule is observed - the pumping part is directly in wastewater, and the engine at the same time remains on the surface. The diameter of pipes for transportation of wastewater in semi-duty pumps is less - up to 15 mm, and there is also a certain limitation on the size of permissible solid particles in the stream.
Important! Very significant disadvantage - the lack of ability to build a shredder. But if you need to pump only fecal, liquid and oily masses, this pump is quite suitable for solving household needs with a slope of a small daily volume.
- Surface. Features of the installation of such a device lies in the fact that it is installed directly on the edge near the waste reservoir, and the hose for pumping is immersed in waste. Such models are compact, mobile, if necessary, easily moved to the right place.
Important! The power of such aggregates is significantly lower as the bandwidth - the maximum diameter of solid impurities should be no more than 5 mm. In addition, they cannot be used as stationary equipment, since the housing is not equipped with waterproofing. Natural precipitation and water entering the system inevitably lead to its breakdown, and at low temperatures, wastewater inside the device freeze. By virtue of such features, the surface pump can be used directly for the toilet bowl located inside the house in a closed room.
Another principle of the classification of pumping pumps is the temperature of the water and the presence or absence of a shredder. In this respect distinguish:
- Pumps for cold wastewater. In this group there are 2 equipment class:
- fecal pumps without chopper make it possible to simultaneously connect several plumbing devices, the fluid temperature in which does not exceed 40 ° C, but at the same time it takes carefully to what exactly falls inside the system;
- the pumps for the toilet bowl with the shredder are installed directly behind the sanitary equipment, as fecal masses accumulate, their grinding occurs, after which they are sent further to the sewage riser.
Important! Such systems will work better for a long time if the recommended temperature regime is strictly maintained. When mounting, special transition couplings are used to connect to the toilet.
- Pumps for hot wastewater. There are also 2 types of equipment, classified by the same principle:
- sewer pumps without chopper - the model of equipment of this class will solve several tasks at the same time: to connect a washing machine to the drain system or dishwasher, make a removal of the sink or bathroom;
- the pumps for the toilet with the shredder can work properly with waste, the temperature of which reaches 95C, plus they are capable of grinding even the most dense waste.
Important! Equipment of this category is indispensable for the arrangement of a stationary large private house or cottage with a multitude of household plumbing devices and several bathrooms. The apartment is relevant to install such pumps when redeveloped with kitchen transfer and bathroom.
Popular options
Often there is a problem of the need to save space. For such cases there are also several optimal solutions that will allow small efforts to achieve the desired result:
- Installation of the suspended toilet with a special pump-shredder whose width does not exceed 12 cm. Such equipment is easily embedded even in a small niche and allows you to high-qualityly hide the pump itself, and the drain tank, and the frame that keeps the toilet in the desired position.
- Mounting toilet with built-in pump and chopper. Such systems are working offline - the launch is carried out simultaneously with the pressed key. The only condition is the high pressure in the pipeline of at least 1.7 atm.
Important! If we talk about brands, the pumps for the toilet bowl JEMIX are particularly popular. They differ in an acceptable price in combination with quite a good quality of configuration and assembly, function sufficiently long and require minimal maintenance during the entire period of operation.
Installation of the pump-shredder to the toilet
In order for you to imagine to imagine how easy the pump is installed for the toilet, the following is the instruction on the installation of the model with the shredder. Carefully read it and proceed to work.
Important! For greater convenience, use this scheme - it clearly shows the main points of the connection and all the necessary parameters are indicated.
Stage 1. Pipeline assembly
For high-quality execution of this work, important parameters such as:
- lifting height;
- lifting length.
Important! These data correlate with the technical characteristics of your chosen equipment. Parameters such as an angle of lifting, applied materials and configuration of the highway have no effect during operation.
To correctly perform this work, follow these recommendations:
- Rignit sewer pipes.
- Connect them to the samotane system using a tee.
- Connect the release of the shredder.
Important! To reduce the load on the pump itself, while laying the line, follow the lack of sharp and direct corners of turns.
Stage 2. Connecting the pump to the toilet
There are several features of the connection of this equipment, which are due to the principle of operation of the system - wastewater fall into the tank of gravity. Therefore, be sure to follow the following requirements:
- Use corrugation to attach the shredder.
- Do not allow the corrugations to be a large corner of its turn.
- The inlet in the shredder is located below the release of the toilet.
