Oh, most pumps run on generator in ds country. Just make sure it's powerful enough. Have u been able to install it.

Still the brain

Daniel058:
well I tested it and it couldn't draw water from the dam, I called the seller, he said that I should call a plumber to install it for me, and that I should buy "" Foot Valve, " what is the work of foot valve Pls

Yea, it ll guard the water to flow in one direction. You will need a professional to install the pump for you. There might be other things that needs to be done.

Holiday Chilling at home

Daniel058:
lol, I didn't dust it well, it's been in their warehouse for like a year or so

Wow, pls let me know how strong it is wen u start using it.

[quote author=Daniel058 post=52409596][/quote]Wow, it's looking old already

Daniel058:
Hmmmm.. Nah so I see am oo.. Do I need to put water on the pump before I can draw water?

Pls post the pix here so ppl can see. I dnt think u be to put water on it. Just let a good plumber handle the installation for you. He ll know how to go bout it

Wow, was thinking u would meet it at around 40/50k. Surface pumps r nt as expensive as submersibles.

Daniel058:
#90k, though some are selling theirs @ 125k but it's like the guy bought it when it was very cheap

Daniel058:
lol the same thing you told me!! Oooo Chai!! I bought the pump oo.....


Interdab 3hp surface pump ...

Wow, how much does it cost.

[b] Submersible pumps: Their pro’s and con’s

A submersible pump has the same function as the standard water pump. However, it comes with a power of the ability to be placed even underwater and still function properly. Some pump performs only when full engrossed underwater, while others perform even when placed on a dry surface. These water pumps are known as utility pumps and are popular because of their wide use. They are used in different fields such as farming, domestic, hydroponic techniques, aquariums, fountains, and filter. The motor of these pumps have surrounded casing, which is hermetically sealed so that the fluid, does not enter into pump and reason failure.

Many different kinds of submersible pump are used for drainage, slurry, and sewage pumping. Most commonly used submersible water pump in houses are sewer pump and sump pump. Their motors are exclusively engineered so that no standard water can enter it while it is being injected. It is usually in a enclosed section that is completely loaded with oil. These pump run on power and need to be used with proper care. Even though the chances of electrocution are almost non-existent, proper care needs to be taken when using them.

As intended by the name, a submersible water pump is developed to be placed (submerged) in the standard water or other fluid that is to be eliminated. All Submersible pumps are not alike. There are different editions of these devices, used in various applications, including borehole, pool, pond, fountain, well, bilge, and sewage, to name a few.

If these pumps are so popular, then there must be some benefits to using them. What are these advantages?

One benefit to a submersible water pump is in the way it is designed. It is designed as a tightly contained unit, with water tight gaskets and seals that keep the fluid out of the house and inner elements. This design guarantees that the force will not flow or short out electronically when submerged.

Besides being firmly enclosed and water resistant, there are other benefits submersible pumps over non-submersible pumps. One benefit is how it pumps the standard water. The submersible pump uses direct pressure to force the fluid through the tube or water hose, rather than using the suction power method. Using direct pressure means that the force can move liquids deeper more effectively than suction devices. Being self-primed is another benefit over a non-submersible. Other kinds of pump, such as jet pump or shallow well pump require priming to begin up. Priming is not required to begin a standard submersible pump. Also, due to it being placed straight within the fluid, the completely submersible pump can function more effectively when moving water at a long-distance.[/b]

Yea, what do u ve in mind.

alex81:
Wow! Educative and enlightening. With all dz I consider myself a borehole expert. Lol (jst kidding)



Good job bro.

cc :larwin

thanks boss.... You dnt ve to kidding O. We ve been able to train ppl from various fields and they now can handle projects individually. It happens in the oil industry too, academic backgrounds doesn't matter atimes..... It's the training that count.

Daniel058:
Amen oo, tomorrow I go dey go onitsha to look for the pump oo,


3hp submersible .. Or surface

U dnt have to put submersible, use surface pump.

Daniel058:
lol my farm is large oo

Wow, thank God u ve a Dam around. The best Is to tap into d resources.

Daniel058:
yes the DAM is holding a lot of water.. Well it's not as deep as a WELL , I think submersible won't be bad because I have seen a 400ft bore hole ran with 1hp submersible pump, and it still pushes the water to about 200ft away from the bore hole..


The pvc pipe I'm going to use isn't that wide, it's just 1¼ inch wide..

Yea, dats tru. And irrigation doesn't consume much water like dat. U might nt need up to 50k litres in a week

Daniel058:
thanks for your kind reply.. Please the water is for farm use, l need to be using up to 50 thousand litres once every week .. I was considering buying 3hp submersible PUMP because the DAM is deep ,.. Though I don't know the recent price.

Which one ((SUBMERSIBLE /SURFACE PUMP)) pushes water faster and to a greater distance?

You can combine the two, you ll use submersible to bring the water out of the dam then surface pump to aid the submersible. Several factors are considered while choosing pump but if the Dam is holding lot of water then there is no limit to the power of the submersible you can use.

Daniel058:
@ Larwin, please sir I need your help, which type of pump can I use to draw water for a distance 1248ft....





The source of water is a Dam,

A surface pump of around 1.5 to 2hp should be OK.

happy sunday to u all

happy sunday to u all...

I will be on WhatsApp in a jivy. Our team has been busy with drilling works in Port Novo and Imeko. We are sorry for not been able to be reached.

Happy Sunday to you all from Dextol Global Geophysicals.... Your subsurface partner...

For underground hydrological survey: borehole drilling.

Considering the present situation in the country, it's nt advisable bringing in terrameter from abroad.

I ve some locally fabricated ones at hand and dey work just fine. Dey go for 400k,650k.
I ve a Chinese product too wc goes for 3.3m.
You can contact me for more enquiry.
