7 best fecal pumps

Having called their company “Four Elements”, the Italians decided to add a fifth one to them, presenting a line of faecal pumps. The 1700F Ci model in it is the most powerful: the 1.7-kilowatt pump does not save, even if the pumping needs to be carried out with a great lifting height, the limit is as much as 18 meters.At 10 meters, the pump is capable of delivering up to 15 thousand liters per hour - this is half of the declared maximum performance, the powerful engine justifies itself. More "weak" models in the series have a much greater drop in performance with increasing height. The minus in the form of increased power consumption is leveled to a certain extent by the shorter time required for operation.

In this case, the pump also did not regret the stainless steel with cast iron, so you should not be afraid for mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. But it is worth noting that the maximum passport size fractions - only 20 millimeters, due to the "low profile" of the impeller: in this regard, the high Pedrollo wheel is much more successful.

A good option if you need from the fecal pump not just a balanced price / quality ratio, but the price also comes first. Of course, some “Dzhileks Fekalnik” will be cheaper, but this is exactly the case when the yacht justifies its name. So, we probably won’t get into the budget segment, but we’ll focus on Unipump.

Engine power here - 450 W, which is understandable by name. The pump is capable of providing pressure up to 8.5 meters in height, the maximum immersion depth is 5 meters. When working "at the limit", it pumps up to two cubic meters per minute, the "average optimal" mode of operation is achieved with a rise of 7 meters: in this case, the pump pumps up to 6 cubic meters per hour. In contrast to the "younger" model V250, which, due to the low power and plastic wheel, we definitely will not recommend, here the impeller is already made of metal. External float switch maintains the height of the fence at a level not lower than 20 cm.

Productive fecal pump, which did not spare the "cast iron".Its 2.2-kilowatt motor allows for peak performance of 54 “cubes” per hour at a four-meter head, with 12 meters of head, it drops to 6 m3 / h. The cutting plate has sufficient strength to ensure smooth operation of the pump.

However, although the widespread use of cast iron and cheapened the design of the pump, it has its downside - removing the pump for maintenance is difficult. No wonder two steel steel eye bolts are already installed on its top cover. Another serious drawback is that the manufacturer offers only one year warranty, and the same passport maintenance interval. That is, if you, after removing the pump, find any defect (for example, water in an oil tank), you will have to eliminate it yourself.

However, let's talk about less monstrous devices. Of the fecal pumps with a grinder that are widely available for sale, the Unipump is again in the rating, and the manufacturer offers the FekaCut series a guarantee twice as long as the more expensive FekaMax.

The grinding unit here is simpler than that of other pumps - it looks more like a meat grinder knife, rotating in front of nine-millimeter holes of the intake. Such a design, unlike disk shredders, has a nuance - hypersensitivity to fiber inclusions in the intake stream. Fibers literally wound on a knife, so you should be more attentive to adjusting the gap. And for the same reason, we included a 1.3-kilowatt version in the rating, although in terms of its performance it is too big for an average private house: the extra torque on the shaft will not hurt.

One of the cheapest fecal pumps with a grinder is very similar in characteristics and design to the UNIPUMP FEKACUT V1300DF. In fact, they can be considered "twin brothers", but the guarantee on the "Belamos" - only a year. Therefore, we think it is worth adding a couple of thousand to get double the guarantee.

It is advisable to operate both of these pumps with a pre-filter in front of the grinder - accidental hitting a pebble under the knife can lead to breakage. Well, the extra hair, he will not pull at the same time. Alas, inexpensive “Russian-Chinese” pumps have their own specifics, well, at least they do not need to be “modified by file” before starting.
