Domestic Taco pumps. How to choose right?

Pumps of all types presented on the market today differ in the first place, technical characteristics. In addition, the pumps vary in purpose, principle of operation and size.

Main technical characteristics to which attention should be paid, by choosing an Taco pump - his head and power.

• Taco 007 SF5 - Taco 007 Stainless Steel Circulator Pump
• Taco 007 F4 - Taco 007 Cast Iron Circulator Pump
• Taco 007 F3 - Taco 007 Cast Iron Circulator Pump
• Taco 007 F5-7IFC - Taco 007 Cast Iron Circulator Pump with IFC (Integral Flow Check)

Pump head determines the maximum depth at which it can pump water. Performance of the pump, its ability to pump a certain amount of fluid per unit of time depends on its power.

The pressure is calculated as follows: first calculate the distance from the source water to the level of water-points. For example, if the well is in the area is filled with water to a depth of 20m, a crane located on the second floor of the house, at a height of 4 m, the required distance will be 24. Then make corrections on the coefficient of head loss of the jet, due to friction, the value found in this case is multiplied by 1.15. Then add the length of the pipeline, from home to the wells, for example, 7 meters. Thus, a value indicating the minimum allowable pressure pump. In the calculation of this value is 34, 6 pm

Based on the average liquid flow rate is determined by the required pumping capacity. Suppose, for the needs of one person to 800-1000 liters of water per day. The resulting number is multiplied by the number of inhabitants of a country house. For example, a family with two children will spend a day about 3600 liters. We add to this flow of water for irrigation area of 500 liters per day per hundred square meters, with an area of garden in five hundred parts consumption is approximately 2500l.

Eventually creating a sum / 3600 2500 = 6100 liters or 6.1 cubic meters. m / s gives a rough idea of the required quantity of water consumed on the farm and, therefore, helps to orient the choice of the pump power required.

Regardless of all its features, any Taco pump provides comfortable accommodation in a suburban environment at relatively low cost.
