The process of raising water from wells, well shafts and other sources is carried out using deep well pumps. There are many models, as well as characteristics by which the acceptability of a particular unit is assessed. We present to your attention the Whirlwind CH-90V - a device with optimal qualities for use on summer cottages And local areas. Judge for yourself.
Where is it used?
The CH-90V whirlwind is used primarily for gardening needs and for supplying water for domestic purposes - home plumbing, bathhouses. It is prohibited to use the unit in the following conditions:
- Pumping out septic tanks.
- Emptying reservoirs during seasonal or natural flooding - basements, storm drains, gutters.
- Emptying containers containing acidic, alkaline or other aggressive chemicals.
From the list we can conclude that the pump is demanding on the quality of water - it should not contain sand or impurities.
Technical characteristics of Whirlwind CH-90V
The unit operates from home network voltage 220 V and 50 Hz. Electric motor power – 550 V. Target tasks performed by the pump:
- Water rise – 90 m. Immersion depth – up to 35 m.
- Capacity – 1.5 thousand l/h. Supply hole diameter – 9 cm.
- Water temperature – up to + 35 C.
- The housing and pump part are made of machined metals – stainless and chrome steel.
Well connection
The manufacturer provides the user with assembly instructions and recommendations for use.
The points are as follows:
Preparing for work
According to the assembly diagram, the pump body is connected to the pipeline using couplings, adapters, elbows, tees and other things. All threaded connections compacted suitable materials. The socket from the power source is pre-installed in an area protected from moisture and splashes. A cable is attached to the eyes of the unit, and a power cable is attached to the outlet pipe. Lower the structure carefully, without tensioning the cable or straining the water-lifting pipe. Fix the cable on the well head.
Inclusion and prevention
All that remains is to connect the pump with a plug to the power source and monitor the water quality. In the case of a dirty or muddy flow, it is recommended to check the position of the pump relative to the bottom and water surface - not lower than 60 and not higher than 50, respectively.
If network fluctuations are frequent, it is important to purchase a voltage stabilizer. Increased or decreased network values reduce the service life of the device. At the end of the summer season, the pump is raised to the surface, drained, dried and stored in a place without sunlight. The Whirlwind CH-90V does not require special conservation.

Advantages: the pump pumps perfectly for 2 years
Disadvantages: the studs that attach the pump to the motor are made of ferrous metal, after six months the water ate them up... they need to be made of stainless steel!! The fastenings to the rope were also eaten away by the water.. everything must be made of STAINLESS STEEL.... THE SICK POINT IS THE STUD
Comment: overall the pump is excellent NO PROBLEMS

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: The studs that secure the pump rust. Sensitive to network voltage. If it is less than 190-200 volts, it does not turn on at all.
Comment: I bought it at a market in the Moscow region in May 2015 for 7,000 rubles. In May, he lowered it into a well (18 meters). Used until October simple mode- plugged the plug into the socket - pumped up the containers - removed the plug from the socket. No problem. I decided not to take it out for the winter and hung in the water all winter. In May 2016, I took it out for an external inspection. The mounting pins are completely rusty. The stainless steel body is ok. It was mounted in automatic system with hydraulic accumulator and pressure switch. I worked well for the season, without any problems. The only remark is that when there were cold evenings and the heating was turned on at the dachas, it did not work due to a decrease in the voltage in the network. But then at some point when the voltage increased it worked again. We need to install a voltage stabilizer, but we haven’t gotten around to it yet. In general, for 5200, for which it can now be bought, a good option for the dacha. Enough for two seasons. (maybe more, but you probably need to lift it, disassemble it, maintain it, change the studs, I’m reluctant) I’m thinking of buying a couple, as consumables, change once every two years, normal. :-) There was a little bit of very, very fine sand in the well - it did not affect the work in any way.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Advantages: PRICE! This is the best offer on the Internet. Good performance
Comment: I don’t know why I don’t pay so much good reviews, but we’ll give the same one to our parents for the dacha, the performance is enough for the eyes + they are now even cheaper than 3 years ago. PEOPLE - a life hack especially for you: in order not to force the pump and extend its service life, install a check valve and immediately change the studs to stainless steel and you will be happy.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Advantages: From experience of use, I want to confirm that this pump is ideal for organizing a water supply system for a private home. Has been working for 4 years.
Disadvantages: only advantages for the money.
Comment: the sand in the well gives me no peace that soon I will have to buy a new one. but I’ve already worked for 4 years and I’m happy.

After five months of use, the studs rotted, so if you buy them, immediately replace them with stainless steel. This is a good pump. It will work in the country.
Every day, owners of private houses or summer cottages People are increasingly asking the question of drilling a well or a well on their territory. But in addition to drilling, it is also necessary to somehow supply the extracted water to the house, and here the owners become stupefied, and a lot of questions arise in their heads. Which well pump to choose? What should its performance be? Choose expensive model or save money? Let's consider the domestic well pump Vikhr SN-100, because they have proven themselves to be reliable and inexpensive products. Over the many years of the company's existence the lineup The number of pumps has become very large, since each operating condition requires an individual tool.
The main purpose of borehole pumps is to pump water from various sources, for example: a well, a deep well or a reservoir. Since the device operates under extreme conditions, it requires an increased degree of protection against corrosion, damage electric shock and abrasive materials.
Based on the above requirements, “Vikhr” borehole pumps have a protection class against short circuit and electric shock IPX8, which allows the use of these devices at depths from 1-2 to 70 m with varying contents of polluting particles.
Difference between models based on operating principle
There are three types in the Whirlwind model range:
- The downhole pump Vortex SN 100, SN-50 is a product that operates on the vortex principle. In such models, water is captured from above;
- Pumps for wells CH-90V and CH-100V use a screw-type water capture and draw water from above;
- The CH-50N model uses a centrifugal operating principle and liquid intake at the bottom.
Vortex borehole pumps are designed to extract and supply maximum clean water with content abrasive particles(sand) no more than 40 grams per cubic meter.
The device is quite simple; its working part is a flat disk with blades on the edges. This disk is placed in an annular cavity with tightly fitted ends. At the edges of the cavity there are inlet and outlet pipes, which are separated from each other. When the disk rotates, water is captured and spun in the cavities of the disk, after which, due to centrifugal forces, the liquid is fed under pressure into the outlet pipe and supplied to consumers. As the blades operate, a kind of vortex motion is formed in the pump body, ensuring continuous capture and supply of water. Due to this operating principle, the pump is called a vortex pump.
- Pros: This type of pump provides excellent water pressure and works at maximum simple principle, and they are also the most common and budget-friendly.
- Cons: For high-quality and long-lasting operation, the suction water must be as clean as possible, otherwise the device may quickly fail or lose its power. Also, such models can create significant noise from operating blades.
Centrifugal well pumps are used to supply clean liquid with a small abrasive content, which should not exceed 180 grams per cubic meter.
The pump works to the following principle: Water falls on a rotating wheel with blades. After which centrifugal forces act on the liquid, and a vacuum is formed inside the wheel, and pressure is formed at the edges, which pushes the water with great force. The pump body is made in the form of a snail, this is done to increase the swirl of water and increase the pressure in the system.
- Pros: This type of pump is very productive and reliable. They can work for a long time and do not heat up, and high pressure is provided at depths of up to 60 meters. The device also has overheating protection and emergency shutdown to prevent equipment breakdown.
- Cons: These pumps have no obvious disadvantages, and reviews about them are extremely positive. The only disadvantage may be the price and quality of parts, on which the cost of the product depends.
Screw well pumps 90B and 100B are designed for pumping water from wells, large tanks, ponds and even mine wells. The maximum permissible degree of water contamination can be 250 grams of abrasive per cubic meter.
Screw pumps operate according to the following principle: in the device body there are two screw pairs, one of which is motionless, that is, it is a stator and is made of rubber. The second spiral is a rotor and is made of a special steel alloy with a coating applied to it. During rotation, friction points are formed between the rotor and stator, which create fluid pressure. How more places contact, the higher the productivity and working pressure.
- Pros: Among positive qualities One can highlight greater reliability and performance, as well as noiselessness and depth of operation of the device.
- Cons: CH-90V and CH-100V are the most expensive, because they require higher quality materials and protective equipment, since the devices are often used in polluted reservoirs, wells with a high sand content, etc.

Pump selection criteria
- Depending on the diameter of the well, the size of the pump is selected, taking into account the fact that it must fit into the pipe with a gap (at least 10-15% of the diameter of the well);
- The operating capabilities of the pump are selected in accordance with the depth of the well.
Advice! It is better to take a more powerful pump due to the fact that over time, the abrasive agents present in the water will weaken the device;
Important! As the pump immersion depth increases, its performance decreases;
- Regardless of the pump model, it must have automatic protection. For example, all models of Vikhr pumps have a thermal relay in their arsenal, which is activated when the device heats up to a temperature of 110 degrees. Some models also have anti-clogging protection.

To provide residential and production premises water is used to drill a well far from the main water supply. In this case, the supply of liquid from a deep source is carried out by borehole pumps. This type of pumping equipment is characterized by high pressure characteristics, continuous supply and a long service life.
Among domestic models of devices for wells, the Vortex borehole pump is popular. A wide range of models and modifications of the brand allow you to select a device ideally for the characteristics of the source.
1 Types of downhole devices Vortex and their features
Depending on the application, performance and other performance characteristics, several options are available submersible pumps Vortex. The company produces models with upper water intake, designed for heavily polluted sources, and with lower water intake, which are used in wells with clean water. Based on the materials used, devices with components made of steel, brass, and durable polymers are distinguished. Mechanical seals in such devices are made of graphite or ceramics.
One of the main criteria for the distribution of wells pumping devices A vortex is a type of working body. In this regard, the following stand out:
- screw pumping apparatus;
- centrifugal submersible pump;
- vortex deep well pump.
1.1 Screw type devices
The screw electric pump is a fairly universal model. Such a device can be used not only in wells, but also in wells, mine tanks, and open reservoirs. Thanks to its design, the device is capable of passing liquid with a solid particle content of up to 250 g/cubic meter. m. Models of this type support pressure up to 100 m.
The design of the screw device assumes the presence of an electric motor installed in the upper part of the steel body, a working chamber, electric cable and eyelets with cable. The working chamber in screw devices consists of two elements:
- movable rotor (screw);
- fixed stator made of rubber.
The elastic stator has internal thread. A rotor with external thread rotates inside it, connected to the motor shaft. The spiral threads of both elements are offset relative to each other. The result of this displacement is the appearance of sealed cavities in the stator during the movement of the screw. It is in these cavities that the device transports water from the suction holes to the outlet pipe. The total pressure created by the model depends on the number of cavities formed.
The main advantages of this type of pump are noiselessness, the ability to pump heavily contaminated water, convenient repair or service. In addition, the device can be used in both horizontal and vertical orientation, which expands its application possibilities.
1.2 Centrifugal well unit
As is the case with screw models, the centrifugal apparatus consists of a motor compartment and a working chamber, combined in one housing. Only the design of the working chamber of the device differs. It is a snail-shaped diffuser, inside of which a wheel with blades rotates on a shaft.
During operation, the wheel rotates, the blades capture water and rotate it in a circle. Under the influence of centrifugal force, the liquid is displaced under the walls of the diffuser. As a result of the displacement, an area of discharged pressure is formed on the inlet pipe of the device, which leads to the suction of a new portion of water. In contrast, under the walls of the cochlea the pressure increases, which ensures high pressure. Some options may include multi-stage impellers consisting of several standard discs with an impeller.
In terms of sensitivity to mechanical impurities, centrifugal models are less functional. The maximum content of abrasives in water should not exceed 160-180 g/cubic meter. m. The pressure characteristic of centrifugal devices is 50 m. They differ high performance and wear resistance of components. To prevent overheating of the unit, most centrifugal models are equipped with an automatic emergency shutdown system.
1.3 Vortex deep unit
In terms of design, vortex-type models are similar to centrifugal ones. The difference is that the working disk of vortex devices is equipped with shorter blades of closed or open type. During operation, the blades take water from the inlet pipe and accelerate it in a circle under the influence of centrifugal force. During the circular motion, the flow again enters the blades, which gives it additional rotation and force. Vikhr brand devices use multi-stage pump options.
Thanks to the thinner design and small gaps between the impeller and the housing, the throughput of vortex-type units is only 40 g/cubic meter. m. Protection against larger particles is provided by a mesh filter installed on the suction openings. The feed height of the vortex apparatus is over 100 m, which allows it to be installed in a deep source.
Also, the advantages of models of this type include a small diameter, suitable for wells with a cross-section of up to 100 mm.
Among the shortcomings, the efficiency should be highlighted with an indicator of only 45%.
