The question of how to make a pump with your own hands is asked by many summer residents and just people who have their own vegetable garden or garden.

Fluid overflow pump

The first version of the pump that you can create with your own hands is a pump for fluid overflow. It is the simplest and most familiar design, and to make it does not need a lot of money and effort.

But the necessary materials for its implementation are:

• Plain plastic bottle with cork;
• The same bottle, but no cork;
• A piece of plastic pipe of the required dimensions;
• And the key point is the spout hose itself.

The first step is to make a flap valve for the hand pump. To do this, remove the gasket from under the lid of the plastic bottle.

Next, cut this gasket in a circle so that its diameter becomes smaller than the throat of a plastic bottle. The narrow sector of the gasket is left unchanged.

In the center of the bottle cap we close an 8 mm hole. Having inserted the gasket there, we screw the neck of the bottle. This design is a ready-made valve, into which a plastic pipe must be inserted.

And in the meantime, cut off the top of the second bottle. It turns out an element that looks like a regular funnel. This funnel should be fixed over the pipe. The second end of the pipe is connected to the discharge hose. Thus, the simplest do-it-yourself water pump contraction is ready.

Vacuum pump

But the pumps are also different. So, you can create a home and a vacuum pump. Such pumps already have wide functionality, and are designed to solve deeper domestic and industrial problems.

Most often they are used to pump gas or steam from an enclosed space.

It is more difficult to make such a pump at home than the most ordinary one. Therefore, it is recommended to find clear instructions on the Internet, and act strictly on the points prescribed in the instructions.

Submersible pump

The next view is a submersible pump. This is also one of the economical options for making a home pump.

The materials that will be required in the work are: a washer electric motor from the machine, an inexpensive sealant, a silicone tube, a two-wire wire, a soldering iron, and, of course, free time for work.

In total, all these materials will cost you 200 rubles, not more, but buying a new pump is not such a cheap pleasure.

Pump repair

In addition to the fact that the pump can be manufactured at home, the pump can also be repaired independently. And then many turn to special repair services, and spend a large amount of money on all this.

The main thing is to know where the pump breakdown occurred, and to find out the course of action.

Submersible pumps are more likely to break down because they function well under various conditions.Faced with a minor breakdown, you can fix everything yourself, without the intervention of expensive specialists.

The first thing to know is the location of the malfunction. By the way, repairing a pump involves not only replacing broken parts, but also adjusting them further so that they can function properly.

For example, after replacing the valve in the pump, it is necessary to adjust all the valves so that the breakdown does not affect the power of the pump.

There are such elements that are sold only in stores that exclude quick breakdown of the pump, thanks to them the pump will last a high quality and for a long time.

If you do not know anything and do not understand the repair of pumps, then it is better not to approach this matter on your own.

It will be good to invite a friend or acquaintance who understands this. After all, having intervened in this matter, you can remain without a pump or cause it extra breakdowns and defects.
