Need Help

tharindu6 · February 15, 2009

Guys im planning to arrange a water sump and a motor to pump it up to our overhead tank at my place.( since the water pressure from the mainline is not enough and these water bord ppl cut the water supply all the time without informing) have couple of questions to ask form you guys

I already have a water wel at home and its kind of deep and pumping water out of that is a hassle.( earlier I had a motor with a deep wel kit but it gave loot of trouble so had to get rid of it).

• Is there a way to fix a hand operated tube well pump sort of thing to my existing well?

• Is there a way to set up a solar powered motor? And where can I get more information about it and what will be the rough cost of that?

Waiting for your replies

yep it is possible to fit a tube well to an existing well,in fact it's much cheaper than digging one,but i suggest you install a higher powered motor like jenesena N110P/1(.75 horsepower) copulated with a "deep well kit" or pressure boosters according to the depth of your well,just state the depth of the well to the motor dealer in your area and request a deep well kit.a 0.75Hp motor is enough for most wells but if this too is not adequate go for industrial type of motor(2.0HP-3.0HP).jinesena,solex,centric are all good pumps but stay away from other cheap imports.

AFAIK solar powered panels are for heating not fro pumping water.the one's that exist have very feeble power.

Bro thanks as always for being the first to reply me..

the reason why I didnt want to go for a deep well motor is that the cost of electricty bill..

cuz its pointless paying for the water bill and current bill...
