Q&A
Which hose to connect to a submersible pump?
Choosing the right hose for your submersible pump is important for the device to work effectively. In this blog, we look into the discharge hoses available for various types of submersible pumps, covering aspects such as diameter, length, and durability.
My hose doesn't get sufficient pressure when combined with the Gardena coupling device
When you use a powerful pump, you need to ensure that it can also release its pressure sufficiently. Releasing pressure is important with lighter models, but even more so with more powerful ones.
A water pump in combination with groundwater that contains iron/rust
A groundwater source that contains large amounts of iron/rust may damage not only your pump's interior but also its exterior if it comes into contact with water when you spray your garden.
Connecting a water pump to an outside tap
Watering a garden with water from an outside tap is usually possible if it involves a small size garden. However, if a longer hose needs to be connected or if multiple sprinklers are to be used at the same time, the amount of water and pressure is often too low. You may wonder whether in that case it would be possible to connect a water pump - for example, a garden pump or booster pump - to an outside tap in order to increase the pressure.
What is a water pump?
The term water pump is a common name for a broad-based group of products, which, in many cases, are used to transfer water under pressure.
Submersible pump runs but does not pump any water
Imagine that you immerse your old or new submersible pump in water and turn it on. You hear it running, but it does not drain any water from the space. What is going on here, and how can you solve the problem?
My booster pump does not switch off or continues pulsating (on/off, on/off)
You have installed a booster pump that does not switch off automatically, even though all the draw-off points are closed. How can you solve this problem? For you to understand this problem, we first need to explain how booster pumps actually work. Then it will be easier to understand what causes the problem and how it can be resolved.
How do I connect a power cable to a water pump?
We provide several series of water pumps that come without a power cable. This is because these pumps are used mostly in the professional market, which allows the user to determine which length of cable they prefer.
Pumping water from a ditch or canal
If the ditch is shallow and contains relatively little water, chances are that solid particles will also be pumped with it. This situation should be avoided with regard to garden and booster pumps because they are unable to handle solid particles. The hose can be fitted with a filter. However, the filter can also become blocked, as a result of which the pump will be unable to draw in any water and may run dry.
What water pump do I need?
Water pumps come in a variety of models and sizes and can be used for a number of different situations. Almost, every type of water can be pumped as long as the appropriate pump is used. So, what pump do I need?
