How to make your own water pump. How to make a pump with your own hands: the best devices for pumping water

Not every Russian Vacation home equipped with the same water supply as city dwellings, and therefore in our villages a manual water pump (pump or well) that supplies artesian water is still popular. Let's look at what types there are, and also find out whether it is possible to make such a device with your own hands.

Types of pumps for water from a well

Progress does not stand still and, along with manual ones, there are also electric pumps. They are also very popular among people living outside the city, but a simple device driven by muscular force is not losing its position yet. What is the secret of such popularity and longevity? Most likely, in low price and energy savings. This can also include independence from external water supply networks and the absence of any fees for pipeline maintenance.

Types or wells are divided according to the principles that underlie their work:

• piston;
• rod;
• deep.

The essence of the piston device

Manual is indirectly familiar to probably everyone from childhood. These are the devices that are used to inflate bicycle tires. Pumps that create the highest outlet pressure are unlikely to be suitable for supplying water to a well reservoir from deep wells. Maximum occurrence groundwater The height at which it is possible to use a manual piston device is 8 m, and the height of the column itself, installed on the surface, is usually 70–100 cm.

The principle of a manual piston pump is as follows:

1. When at rest, the piston is at the bottom of the cylinder, the disc valve is closed, and another valve located on the piston itself keeps the liquid from flowing from the upper chamber to the lower part of the pump.
2. As soon as the lever is pressed, the rod begins to pull the piston. A vacuum space is formed between it, the walls and the bottom of the cylinder, into which water begins to flow through the hole that opens after lifting the disc valve.
3. As the piston moves upward, the valve located on it is closed, due to which the water that was in the upper part of the column rises to the level of the outlet tap and pours out through it.
4. When the piston reaches the top point, the created vacuum begins to pull it down. This opens the piston valve, allowing water to flow into the top of the cylinder.
5. Under water pressure from above, the piston continues to move downwards, and the disc valve closes, preventing the flow of incoming water into the well.

The peculiarity of such a pump is that the inlet hose must be rigid, and the column itself is installed directly above the well. You understand that this entails certain inconveniences for home owners: it is not very pleasant to walk with a bucket across the entire site if groundwater is not found near the house.

How do rod units work?

This hand pump for a well or well, although it contains the principles of a piston device, is slightly improved. And this opens up the possibility of pumping liquid from a depth of a maximum of 30 m. The peculiarity lies in the special design of the piston, equipped with a special rod (and the name comes precisely from this modification).

As always, increasing the complexity of the design leads to a decrease in strength. The main disadvantage is frequent breakdowns these same bars. Here, however, everything depends on the manufacturer, who is responsible for selecting high-quality materials and careful assembly. To the second negative point It can be attributed to the fact that the design of the pump itself is quite cumbersome, and this causes certain difficulties during installation.

This unit works in exactly the same way as a piston unit, but the difference is that it is not the pipeline through which water flows that is inserted into the well, but the entire pump body to the level of artesian waters. That is, the reservoir holds much more liquid than a simple one piston pump, and water can be drawn from greater depths. This means that the presence of harmful impurities entering the water at shallower depths is excluded.

Features of the deep well pump

This hand pump for a well or well is not much different in appearance from piston pumps: the shape, piston and principle of operation are exactly the same. The only peculiarity is that the exhaust pipe and the rod connected to the piston have a length that is significantly longer than the same parts in the above-mentioned models. If necessary, the size of the rod can be increased to more than 30 m.

The most inconvenient thing is that the piston will have to be raised and lowered only by muscle force. The vacuum created to suck water from the well is only enough to raise the water to a certain height. Further movement is carried out only by additional external forces. So, despite the unlimited possibilities of drawing water from any depth, this type is not popular.

How to make your own pump?

Every man who is at least a little familiar with the tool has the opportunity to save money and not purchase a commercial version of the pump, and in any household there are components for a simple device. The drawings may cause difficulty at first; it will be easier to draw them up if we figure out the order in which we will assemble the homemade unit.

How to make a hand pump for water from a well with your own hands - step-by-step diagram

Step 1: Making the Case

For the base you will need a piece metal pipe, the diameter of which must be at least 8 cm, and the length - 60–80 cm. In this case, the thickness of the cylinder walls can be any. The main condition is the smoothness of the inner surface and the absence of corrosion on it. It is best to process it on a machine. The slightest irregularity will affect the operation of the piston and its wear.

Step 2: Constructing the Covers

The cylinder must be closed on both sides. To do this, you need to cut out two “rounds” from plastic or metal that can tightly cover the diameter of the pipe. Considering that you will operate a homemade pump in winter time, it is preferable to use metal to avoid rupture of the lid when icing occurs. Absolutely ideal solution can be considered the presence of at least one (upper) threaded cap. This will greatly facilitate the operation of the pump in case of possible breakdowns. Holes must be made in the middle of the lids. The top one is for the rod, the bottom one is for the disc valve.

Step 3: Additional parts on the body

A drain spout should be made at a distance of approximately 20 cm from the top edge of the cylinder. It is usually made from a small piece of pipe, the diameter and length of which can be selected independently at your discretion. It would also be useful to attach to the bottom of the flange, thanks to which it is possible to secure assembled structure on a surface.

Step 4: Piston Assembly

The material for making this part can be any. Wood, plastic, metal - it all depends on how the master himself sees the conditions of its operation. Just don’t forget about winter, as well as the properties of some materials to expand and swell when exposed to moisture. Also, do not overlook the need to make a hole for the piston valve. Next condition– the diameter of the piston must be such that its edges adjoin the inner walls of the housing as closely as possible. Be that as it may, you need to additionally equip this part with one or two rubber rings to eliminate this gap.

If such a decision is considered reasonable by the device designer, grooves that support the seals can be machined on the piston itself.

Step 5: Installing Valves

The production of these parts is possible both from rubber, silicone, and from metal and plastic. It all depends on the imagination of the designer. The main thing is to adhere to the principle of movement “one way”. Thus, the valve attached to the bottom of the pump must freely admit water drawn from a well or well and at the same time reliably close the inlet and withstand the pressure of the piston moving downwards. And vice versa: the piston valve must work flawlessly, admitting liquid into the upper part of the pump when the piston lowers and reliably closing the hole as it tends to top position. A little hint: devices that resemble a riveted shape do an excellent job of performing such functions.

Step 6: Equip the inlet pipe

This part of the pump must be welded to a hole that is drilled in the bottom of the device and equipped with an inlet valve. You can do it a little differently: cut a hole in the bottom of the unit corresponding to the diameter of the pipe and provide it with a screw thread. Then assemble the valve that shuts off the outlet from the pipeline directly on it. All that remains is to make a thread on the outside of the pipe and simply screw the pump housing onto it. Required condition for this part of the unit - the ability to bear significant differences temperature, corrosion resistance. Most best material for pipes - hard plastic or steel.

Step 7: Mounting the Handle, Stem and Bracket

Now we have almost assembled the water pump with our own hands. You need a comfortable handle; it is attached to a bracket rigidly fixed to the outside of the case. The main thing is that the lever arm must be such that it is possible to lift the piston without much effort. The place where you have to grasp it with your hand can be equipped with a rubber or silicone pad. The rod must be securely fastened to the piston inside, and its outer end - using a hinge with the end of a long handle. Now operating your homemade pump will be easy and convenient.

The problem of water supply in the area is particularly acute for private property owners. If there is at least a small reservoir on the site, then you can make a homemade pump and provide yourself with water without spending large investments on the purchase of such a device. Let us present some variants of such inventions.

DIY manual water pump

This option can be used to pump water from a well. To make it you will need the following materials:

• Brake chamber;
• Wire;
• Car camera;
• Steel balls;
• Copper tubes;
• Epoxy adhesive.

Algorithm for creating a pump:

1. Disassemble the brake chamber, plug all existing holes in it, except for one located on top. It will house the rod.
2. Provide outlets for valves from the bottom of the chamber.
3. Drill out the inner wall of a copper or brass tube to a diameter that can accommodate the ball. A wire is welded on top of the tube, which will prevent the ball from falling out of it while the pump is running.
4. Make check valve. Exactly repeats the previous point, only a spring is installed between the ball and the wire welded at the end of the pipe.
5. Secure the inlet and check valve in the brake chamber, as well as the holes that were previously made at the bottom.
6. Cut a circle from a car wheel and make a hole inside it. You need to glue one washer to it on both sides. The circle will serve as a seal through which you need to thread a threaded pin secured with nuts.
7. Attach the manufactured part to the brake chamber and secure with glue.
8. Install the stem. It is threaded through the top hole and connects all the parts together, completing the assembly of the entire structure.

With its help, you can set up pumping water from the reservoir and to the garden without significant effort. The process of its creation includes the following steps:

1. Prepare the main injection element. It should be made in the form of an accordion - a hollow cylinder that will change its volume when stretched and compressed, and thereby create required pressure for transferring water from a reservoir.
2. Can replace the “accordion” car tire required diameter.
3. Create a “floating” platform. For this purpose it is taken wood material, it must be the same size as the camera. To increase its buoyancy, you need to glue foam to its lower part, or you can replace it with plastic empty bottles, which must be closed with lids. The selected fusible material is attached to the bottom of the chamber with electrical tape or construction tape.
4. Fix the camera. Its position “afloat” is maintained with the help of a wooden plank to which it is attached top part cameras.
5. Secure the wave pump. To do this, two pillars of any cross-section are driven into the bottom of the reservoir, the upper platform of the pumping device is rigidly attached to them, for the lower platform it is necessary to provide wire loops on them through which water will move freely.

After creating such a pump, you need to check its operation. Its principle is as follows: the wave, lifting the lower platform, compresses the improvised chamber, and water flows through the inlet valve into the hose. Everything happens without human observation or participation. Such a pump can be created from other materials, but they must be suitable for the functions assigned to them.

Cheap pump made from a plastic bottle

This version of a homemade device is very popular due to its low cost and simplicity of design; it is often used in dachas. The homemade pump in question is suitable for use when watering a garden when the water is in a special cabinet, tank or reservoir. When using it, no connection to the electrical network is required - it is a mobile unit. Its operating principle is based on the principle of adjacent vessels.

The assembly algorithm for this device is as follows:

1. Make a hole in the bottle cap. You need to remove the gasket that is in it from the plug and make a hole with a diameter of 8 mm in the lid.
2. Cut off the gasket. Along the edge of its diameter, remove 1 mm and leave only the middle, similar to a petal, 3 mm wide. After this, the gasket is returned back inside the lid.
3. Create a valve. The neck of the bottle needs to be cut off along with the thread onto which the cap is screwed. Due to the petal located inside the lid, a working valve is obtained. Water can flow in, but it does not allow it to flow back out.
4. Install the valve into the plastic tube suitable diameter. And you need to cut off one more part from the bottle - from the neck to the “shoulders”. This plastic element will act as a funnel; it also needs to be placed on the tube. As a result, it turns out that the homemade valve will be located in this funnel. On the other side of the tube you need to insert a flexible hose.

After manufacturing the pumping device, it must be lowered into a pond or container of water.

The person makes forward movements and allows the valve to move, while the water flows through the hose onto the beds. This device is convenient to use for pouring water from one tank to another.

Wind pump for pumping water

This device operates silently and does not require fuel to operate. It can be used to pump water out of a well. The homemade device consists of a wind wheel, angular gearbox, drive, mast and stabilizer.

Stages of creating a wind pump:

1. Manufacturing of blades . It is necessary to create 12 separate blades from duralumin with a sheet thickness of 1 mm. These blades are attached with rivets to the supporting spokes.
2. Execution of knitting needles . They are stainless steel tubes with a diameter of 12 mm. The spokes are inserted into the guide sockets of the hub and clamped with bolts. The spoke sockets are milled on a lathe.
3. Stabilizer production . It is made of sheet duralumin 0.5 mm thick. To give it rigidity, the device is lightly pressed with wire ties. It is connected to the gearbox via aluminum tube with d=32 mm and wall thickness 1 mm. Between the motor and the stabilizer, you need to install 2 additional support rods.
4. Execution of the braking system . This device consists of many components: a drive, a drum, a washer with a shock absorber, a trigger rod and a float gear.
5. Gearbox assembly . Its body is welded from 5 mm steel sheet. The shafts in it are also made of steel; it is better to make them from one piece. Gears for the gearbox can be taken from VAZ cars. When installing all the components of this device, the space between the bottom and the gears must be filled with lithol, but before that, dilute it with neutral oil so that it takes on a mushy state.
6. Making a mast for a wind turbine . It is made from individual pipes with a diameter of 100 mm, which are connected to each other by flanges.
7. Pump box assembly . It is welded from metal sheets up to 2 mm thick. A hand pump is installed inside it, the cylinder diameter of which is selected within 80 mm. In order for the pump to pump in a horizontal position, its valves are replaced with rubber spring-loaded counterparts. A hand pump is also installed on top of the welded box.

When using the above-described design of a wind pump unit, it is possible to lift water from a depth of 12 meters. Because successful work pumps depend on their filling with water, the check valve in the well must work properly, so its condition must be constantly monitored.

This model of water pump is used on summer cottages when it is necessary to water the garden. As soon as the harvest is completed, the operation of the device stops and the water is drained. In the next article you will find out what they are.

DIY mini pumping device (video)

An interesting approach to performing a hand pump is suggested in the video below.

To make this simple device, you need to prepare the following materials:

• Plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liter;
• A small motor (for example, a unit from a DVD drive is taken) with a worm mount located on it;
• Dispenser (taken from detergents);
• Plastic card (it can be replaced with a regular disk);
• Pen or felt-tip pen;
• Power unit.

The progress of making a water pump from these available materials is as follows:

1. Cut off the neck of a plastic bottle using any of the available tools. In the video this is done with a hacksaw.
2. Make a small diameter hole in the center of the cut lid.
3. Insert the motor into the cover, thread its shaft through the hole, and on the other side put a worm tip on the shaft. The contact points between the engine and the cover must be sealed with hot-melt adhesive, which will not only firmly fix the assembly, but will prevent water from entering it.
4. Make a screw. Cut a strip of 3×1 cm from the prepared plastic card. You need to make a U-shaped groove in the middle of the resulting strip.
5. Clamp the cut strip of plastic with pliers, stepping back from the edge about 3 mm and heat the plastic with a lighter, when it becomes soft, bend the edge at a right angle. Repeat the same action with the other edge of the homemade screw, only bend it in the opposite direction from the previous edge.
6. Glue the screw. You need to make a small cut on the protruding worm, insert a screw into it and glue it with the same hot glue.
7. Glue the felt-tip pen and dispenser together. The first one needs to be disassembled and at the end with a large diameter cut at an angle of about 30 degrees. At this angle, make a cut on the dispenser, then insert the dispenser into it and glue them together.
8. Prepare the inside of the dispenser. There is a thread cut inside this product; you can get rid of it with a regular knife.
9. Fasten two knots. The work resulted in a unit with a lid and a dispenser. You need to insert the lid with the valve into the dispenser and glue them together.
10. Connect a homemade mini pump with a power supply.

This pump can be used for indoor fountain. And the water pressure coming from it can be easily adjusted with a dispenser.

Homemade water pumps are not only an alternative central water supply, which is used for watering crops in dachas and houses, but also how economical option, applied in parallel with it. When using such pumps, electricity is not required, and this is a significant saving. In addition, settled water in reservoirs is healthier for vegetables than water raised from a well.

After the purchase garden plot A summer resident has to solve the most difficult task in life: settling in a new place. The most important thing is to establish a water supply, because imported water will not be enough for a long time. The problem of watering is also not solved in this way.

It’s good if the house is located near some body of water: a river or stream. In this case, you will need a water supply pump. As an option, you can consider a homemade water pump. Such a device can be created from various materials. Water is drawn in the following way: a person makes forward movements and allows the internal valve to move, while water flows out through the hose. Using a pump will alleviate the problem of watering.

This article provides ideas for making models of mini water pumps or mini pumps, as they are called by many. These are simple and cheap homemade products that will definitely come in handy in the household for pumping water.

Important! Water from a well can be lifted to an above-ground reservoir using one of two types of pumps: piston or centrifugal. Both of them, although they work on different physical principles, are designed to solve the same problem of delivering or moving water from one place to another. When choosing the type of pump, energy consumption is taken into account, as well as the ease of troubleshooting in case of breakdown.

Pump characteristics

How to make a water pump with your own hands? To create a pump, the first thing you need is materials. In this case, first of all, you need to focus on the following criteria:

• The power on which the speed of pumping water from the well depends. On average, for pumping from wells, boreholes, reservoirs and storage tanks, it is 350-400 W;
• Maximum degree of pressure. The approximate required watering pressure for the garden is 40 m;
• Strength and moisture resistance of the material. Eg, best material manufacturing of the housing - cast iron, impeller - brass, shaft - stainless steel, mechanical seal – ceramic graphite.

If you take into account all the above criteria, you will be able to build an effective pump, and water will be pumped from the well in a matter of minutes.

A cheap pump for overflowing water can be made from almost nothing: from two plastic bottles with and without a plug, a piece of plastic pipe of suitable diameter and an outlet hose.

Production process

1. First, the valve is cut out, for which the gasket is removed from the cover and cut in a circle. In this case, the diameter of the gasket should be smaller than the neck of the bottle;
2. An eight-millimeter hole is drilled in the center of the bottle cap. Next, the gasket is inserted, the cut neck is screwed on - all this is done to clamp the membrane and obtain a reed valve. A pipe is inserted into the finished valve;
3. From another bottle, a kind of funnel is made, which is fixed on top of a plastic pipe;
4. A spout hose is attached to the other end of the pipe.

In this way, you can make the simplest pump with your own hands to pump out water. With the help of a sharp up and down movement of the hand, water is brought through a plastic pipe to the spout. Then the liquid flows by gravity.

Diaphragm pump

In order to make a diaphragm pump with your own hands, you must first disassemble such a failed unit and see how it works. The device includes:

• two compartments located opposite each other;
• high-strength membrane;
• distributor.

During operation of the device, one compartment is filled with air, the other with water. As a result of displacement, water begins to move through the chambers. When the position of the membrane changes due to the operation of the valves, it is discharged through the pipes.

A pneumatically driven diaphragm pump, which has compact dimensions and low weight, can be disassembled in three minutes. You only need two keys. So, one by one:

• the rod with the drive shaft is removed from the very center of the pump;
• the membrane is removed;
• valves are removed that prevent reverse suction of the pumped medium.

Regulatory and shut-off valves – necessary elements in every water system, their purpose is to regulate the flow of water.

Having studied internal composition, you can start self-assembly devices.

For information. The areas of application of diaphragm pumps are very diverse: chemical, petroleum, paint and varnish, food industry. The main advantages are: no piston, no need for gaskets, no sparking. The operating principle is based on the laws of hydraulics and pneumatics.

How to make a hand pump

A water pump is very necessary in the spring and summer season. To make a manual water pump with your own hands, just look through thematic pages on the Internet. The solution can be found by exploring several options. Preference is most often given to Soviet-era designs; they are many times more reliable and better built than today’s ones.

So, how to make a hand pump for a well for an eight-meter well? For this you will need welding machine and used materials.

Main details

• five-liter carbon dioxide fire extinguisher with a wall thickness of 5 mm;
• two three-quarter flows - one for the spout (on the side), the other for the water intake (below);
• sealing rubber;
• half-inch pipe - 1 meter;
• two valves;
• a pond with a diameter of 14 mm for the rod so that it fits perfectly into the head of the fire extinguisher;
• lever 12 mm thick, 28 mm wide and 70 cm long;
• basic support post 12 mm thick, 28 mm wide;

Additional elements are also used:

• a frame measuring 7x30x25 cm on which everything is attached;
• mounting bracket 4x35 mm;
• steel handles for carrying the structure;
• M8 bolts for attaching the lever arms.

Three-quarter size surges are taken to increase the passage and reduce the load when pumping water. You can make them half an inch in size. The leads are welded to the pump housing (fire extinguisher). But first the body itself is made.

Description of the manufacturing process

The principle of operation of the pump is to create a vacuum suction of well water, on this basis a device is created.

1. The bottom of the fire extinguisher is cut off. Between its body and the frame a sealing rubber is placed, pre-cut to the size of the body. In this case, the structure is attached to the base in four places using corners. Bolts and washers are used for fastening. To simplify things, you can simply burn holes in the metal on which the rod runs. This hole is central and must be made carefully using a welding machine;
2. A thread bend is welded to the rod and a return piston is screwed in, playing the role of a check valve in the system. A five-millimeter metal circle with 10 mm holes for the passage of water is used as a piston. On top of it, a cuff cut from ordinary sheet rubber is placed on a rod of the same diameter;
3. The entire installation is supported on support legs, which are fastened with M12 bolts. The legs are screwed into nuts welded to the frame. The design is completely collapsible;
4. After all welding work is completed, the pump is primed and painted.

The rod is rigidly connected to the handle. When the rod begins to move, the cuff rises up, and water, seeping through the holes of the piston, rises to exit through the side outlet (column spout). The pumping handle should swing freely left and right.

The pump pumps out approximately two to three liters of water at a time. Such a pump for pumping water is useful for drawing water from a reservoir such as a well or a well.

For information. All pumps use the basic forces of nature to move fluid. Once the moving parts of the pump begin to move, the water is pushed out to the side.

Remaking a Chinese pump

Surely many have been burned by purchasing Chinese-made brushless pumps. The devices are not bad, but they often break down: the very filling of the pumps is covered - the electronics, flooded epoxy resin. A Chinese rocking chair lasts a maximum of two weeks on a solar collector. Having become a little more familiar with the operating principle of the device, you can remake Chinese water pumps with your own hands. It will turn out as in the saying “If you want it to work as it should, do it yourself.”

How to make a water pump from a Chinese broken product? First of all, disassemble the pump and look at the assembly diagram. One of the parts needed to assemble a new device is an impeller; it is difficult to make it yourself.

A new homemade water pump is assembled from a powerful Soviet-era engine, a coupling and a Chinese-made impeller. Creation is set on solar collector, and the issue with the pump disappears for a long time. It will work productively.

Important! A converted pump for a well with your own hands will need to be protected from dust, which is a common cause of breakdowns of propulsion equipment.

The completed unit is attached and tested in action. This homemade pump perfectly pumps water from a depth of two meters. It will last for several years of reliable operation, given the way it works cyclically.

For seasonal watering Devices with a minimum of wearing parts are mainly used:

• self-made asynchronous centrifugal pump;
• three-phase brushless unit.

In terms of popularity, the design of a centrifugal electric pump for water surpasses many pumping devices for similar purposes.

Making a pump for pumping water, if you figure it out, is not at all difficult. Made with your own hands, it will become a reliable and effective means for household needs: watering, fencing drinking water from the well. Such a technically simple design will help reduce electricity and water consumption.

In the article you will find instructions for assembling original pump models, which you can make yourself without any specific skills or knowledge. The cost of the above models is minimal, and sometimes they can even be assembled from scrap materials and household waste.

A water pump is almost an essential item in a country household. Manual and mechanized pumps are also used for pumping other types of liquids - fuel, solvents, oils, etc. It is not always possible to purchase an expensive, reliable pump, and cheap models usually break down at the most inopportune moment. We will consider options for creating pumps from scrap materials and parts that can be found in every workshop, and their market price is simply insignificant in comparison with a new factory product.

Option No. 1. Water pump for water overflow

A primitive design for pumping water, which can be assembled in 10 minutes, will serve as a convenient tool for working in the garden. This is especially convenient when you need to repeatedly draw water from a barrel with buckets. Essentially, this is a check valve attached to a pipe with an outlet.

To make it you will need a tube, a hose and several assembled necks from plastic bottles.

Progress:

1. We remove the gasket from the cork and cut it 2 mm less than the diameter of the cork, leaving a 3 mm segment untouched.
2. Drill a 10mm hole in the center of the lid.
3. Place the petal in the lid and screw in the cut neck. It will press the remaining segment.
4. We insert the valve into the stem tube and put on a “skirt” from a cut plastic bottle.
5. We put on the outlet hose from the opposite end.

This device is activated by several clicks along the axis of the rod when the intake part with the valve is immersed in water. Then the liquid will flow by gravity as long as there is a difference in levels. The water can then be raised by plunging the rod into the barrel.

This is the only product with a “negative cost”. When creating it, you not only won’t spend anything (except time), but you will also recycle household waste.

Do-it-yourself check valve. Step by step video for assembly

Option number 2. Simple DIY hand pump

In this instruction we will give an example of a manual water pumping system, which can be taken as a basis when creating a stationary water-lifting station on a well or well.

A - Classic hand pump diagram. B - Option for a homemade pump made from plastic pipes. Device diagram: 1 - inlet pipe; 2 - check valve; 3 - piston; 4 - check valve; 5 — rod; 6 - rod combined with outlet pipe; 7 - pump drain

For work we will need:

1. PVC sewer pipe 50 mm with bends, plug and sealing cuffs - 1 m.
2. Check valve 1/2" - 2 pcs.
3. PPR sewer pipe Ø 24 mm.
4. Rubber, bolt/nut pairs with washers Ø 6-8 mm.
5. Clamps, bends, fitting clamps, other plumbing parts*.

* The pump design can be customized depending on the availability of spare parts.

Method 1. Drain through the handle

This model is the simplest of the home ones - water rises along the piston rod, which is made of PPR pipe and pours out from above.

1. We cut a pipe Ø 50 mm with a length of 650 mm - this is the basis for the sleeve.
2. We make an end reed valve. To do this, drill 8-10 holes Ø 5-6 mm in the plug and cut out a round piece of rubber (3-4 mm) with a diameter of 50 mm. We secure the flap in the center of the plug with a rivet or bolt (a self-tapping screw is not suitable!). The reed valve is ready.
3. We install the plug into the pipe (sleeve) on the sealant through the seals and additionally fix it with self-tapping screws through the pipe wall.

1. IN PPR pipe(700-800 mm) install a check valve. This can be done using the “hot” method - heat the end of the pipe and insert a fitting with a valve into it, which should allow water to flow in the direction of the pipe (piston rod). Strengthen the connection with a worm clamp while it is warm (before it cools).
2. The piston head can be made from a used 330 ml sealant tube, or rather its nose part. To do this, it must be pre-heated and placed in a sleeve - this way the head will take the ideal shape and size. Then it should be trimmed and installed on the check valve in series using a coupling with external thread or an “American” union nut.
3. We insert the piston into the sleeve and make the top plug. It doesn't have to be sealed, just keep the stem straight.
4. We install a 90° bend on the free end of the rod (pipe). In the future, a hose is put on the hose.

Assembling a hand pump on video

Such a pump is very reliable, but not entirely convenient - the water outlet point is movable, and is also located close to the operator. It can be slightly modified for convenience.

Method 2. Side drain

A 35° elbow tee should be included in the sleeve. The design is identical to the first option, but in the piston rod pipe we make large holes without violating the structural rigidity, or use a rod rod. In this case, water will flow into the sleeve and rise by the operator’s reverse force to the point of spouting.

The main advantage of the pumps described is their low cost. finished design. Repairs are made in a few minutes by replacing (or gluing together) “penny” parts.

Option No. 3. Spiral hydraulic piston

Behind this formidable name lies an ingenious device for supplying water from a river over a short distance. This device is based on a carousel with blades - similar to the wheel of a water mill. The carousel is powered by the river flow.

The pump in this case is a spiral made of flexible pipeØ 50-75 mm, secured with clamps to the wheel. In the intake part (closer to the outer contour) a pipe bucket is attached to it larger diameter(150 mm).

The main unit is a pipe reducer through which water will flow into the pipeline. It can be taken from factory equipment or a sewage pump. The gearbox is located along the axis of the wheel and is rigidly attached to a fixed base.

The maximum height of water rise will be equal to the length of the pipe (from the intake), which is completely immersed in water during operation. That is, this is the distance in plan from the immersion point to the exit point that the water intake bucket travels. At the moment of immersion, a closed system with air sections, and water passes through the pipe to the center of the spiral.

Of course, such a pump is not suitable for everyone - after all, the activator is the river. But for watering summer period this is a great option. The cost of such a device is difficult to predict - great importance has the availability of available materials.

Option No. 4. Pump from a compressor (airlift)

If your household already has a compressor, do not rush to purchase an additional pump. You can assemble a simple water lift from literally two pipes.

The first pipe serves to supply water. For household needs, Ø 30 mm will be sufficient. The second is needed to supply air from the compressor. Diameter 10-20 mm.

The efficiency of an airlift pump directly depends on the compressor power, immersion depth and delivery height. It cannot exceed 70% due to design features. The efficiency will be equal to the immersion depth divided by the sum of the immersion depth and the ascent height (the entire water path). In most cases, the optimal compressor power is set experimentally.

Water supply has been the number one priority for the survival of entire cities since ancient times. Today energy saving and natural resources— there are fewer and fewer of them, and they are becoming more and more expensive. Therefore, a partial return to original technologies without electricity and gasoline is a natural phenomenon. Perhaps in the future this will be the key to a healthy and harmonious life on our planet.

The main disadvantage of factory pumps is the need to connect them to electricity. But both in private dachas and in villages, there is often no electricity. A factory electric pump is good, but you also need to have a backup option in case of a power outage.

You can make a centrifugal pump with your own hands in a few days. This is a pump in which water flow and pressure are created using centrifugal force. It occurs when the moving wheel blades act on the water.

The principle of centrifugal force is widely used in pumps. Among the insides, one can note the spiral shape and the presence of a shaft on which the impeller is mounted.

There are two types of wheels:

• Open type;
• Closed type.

IN open type Blades are placed on the disk. IN closed type the blades are located between the rear and front discs. They can be located away from the direction of operation of the wheel.

To make a centrifugal pump with your own hands, you need to place a valve for it at the end of one side of the water hose. Place this end in water and fill the entire system with water.

If you don't have a free valve on hand, but have an old one washing machine, then you can remove the valve from it. Older washing machines have tubes that are suitable for closing extra holes in the pump mechanism.

For proper design, it is recommended to draw the pump in two projections so that you understand the mechanism of operation of the pump. To create it, you need to find blades to create centrifugal force. It is advisable to choose them from durable materials so that they do not break under the pressure of water flows. It is preferable to opt for metal. They are placed inside the main round body from which water will flow. It can be made from plastic or iron barrel. You just need to reduce its size.

To create a diffuser for water flow, you can take plastic materials. A stream of water will flow through it. The diffuser should be placed at an angle to the round body.

These are the basic elements needed to create a centrifugal pump. It can be assembled from available materials. The main thing is that the materials are of high quality and without cracks. If you make a pump with your own hands, it will be able to fully provide you with water.

We make a diaphragm pump with our own hands

For the dacha excellent option will make a diaphragm pump. This is a water extraction plant, which is made on the basis of cast iron.

The pump has a special element - a piston. It is needed in order to do the cleaning yourself. dirty water. This important nuance, which plays in his favor in choosing pumps for summer cottages. Self-cleaning prevents dirt, sand, and grass from accumulating inside the pump.

A diaphragm pump can be used to pump water that contains insoluble fractions. Sometimes it is used to pump out feces.

The main element of the pump is the membrane. The diaphragm pump is perfectly used in dachas where the electricity is constantly cut off. In such a device, water is pumped thanks to two valves.

In order to make it yourself you will need materials for:

1. Membranes;
2. Valves;
3. Pipes.

First you must prepare the working chamber - the space where the main work of the pump will take place. To do this, you can take a small metal container. Plastic materials can also be used. Many summer residents recommend buying a membrane. This is due to the fact that it must be sealed and vacuum. Unlike the chamber, valves and pipes, for which plastic materials can be used.

To make a diaphragm pump, take a container, that is, a chamber, cut a hole with three sides. Use drills. Water will flow from both sides, where valves and pipes need to be installed. In the third hole, on top, install the membrane. A simple design will allow you to pump out water.

If the light often goes out in your summer cottage, and it is not possible to use an electric pump, then the membrane option will come in handy. To make a diaphragm pump, you must use minimal amount materials, thereby spending little money. Make a pump yourself and you will always have access to water.

Why do you need a water pump: we create a housing for the pump with our own hands

In summer cottages, situations sometimes occur when the electricity is turned off. In order for you to always have water in your house, you need to make a water pump. This is one of the main elements of a hand pump.

You can make a homemade manual and diaphragm piston pump with your own hands. Impeller, gate, drainage and wind pumps are difficult to make on your own. There is also a so-called Musho pump, which works on solar energy. There is also a wave pump, the principle of which is to oscillate waves.

To make a pump you need to take a flask. This is a regular housing in which the piston is placed. It, in turn, has two holes: outlet and inlet. Make them so that the water can rise. Close both holes with valves. Next, make a lever to pump out water.

A thick pipe with a diameter of 3 centimeters is suitable for the lever.

Make holes in the top of the barrel, and another one on the side for the tap. Attach the hose. Please note that the hose must be of such length that it can reach the surface of the water inside the well.

The pump design includes:

• Metal barrel for 150-200 liters;
• Tap for outlet hole;
• Hose for water intake.

Flatten the pipe on one side with a hammer, and make holes for the bolt on the other side. Use the brackets to secure the lever. When you install your pump, keep in mind that there may be a sewer system underneath. Check these points in advance using the drawings.

It’s quite easy to make a pump if you already have everything on hand necessary materials. Follow the instructions and then you will be able to make the entire pump structure efficiently and without errors.

The bulb is necessary for pumping out liquids and is also used for pumping gasoline. It is often used in the automotive industry. Each hose has its own mini bulb. You can buy such a hose in stores. Or buy a separate hose and a separate bulb.

The jock bag is a cylindrical shape that tapers at the sides. This is necessary to connect the hose at both ends. Metal rings are attached to the narrowing area of ​​the pear. This helps the hose to be firmly attached to the bulb.

The design of the pear represents:

• Rubber mold:
• Metal rings at the ends of the arms;
• Additional hose for work.

Using a hose with a bulb is easy. It is enough to take one end of the hose and lower it into a well or other container with water. To determine the direction of the hose, namely which end to lower into the water, you need to look at the bulb. There is a direction arrow drawn on it.

Pay attention to the arrow that is depicted on the pear.

Direct the other end into a container where the liquid will be poured. Next, press the bulb and the water pumps.

The pear serves as the simplest device for pumping liquids. It can be bought in stores at low prices, which creates demand among owners summer cottages. The mechanism is easy to use. It is enough to point the ends of the hoses and press the bulb.

How to make a water pump with your own hands (video)

A water pump is necessary at every dacha. It allows you to quickly pump water out of a well. You can buy a pump in a store, or you can make it yourself. To do this, just select quality materials and use your wits. However, you can only make pumps with your own hands that are more simple design. But they also do a good job of pumping out water. This will give you the pleasure of drinking water on a sunny day. Therefore, we wish you good luck in making your own pump!
