Vecounte 0.75HP Submersible Water Pump in kenya

Description

The Vecounte 0.75HP submersible pump in kenya is a compact deep-well water pump designed for boreholes, wells, domestic water supply, livestock watering, tank filling and small-scale irrigation. It combines a 0.75HP motor, 65-metre maximum head and approximately 1.25-inch outlet, making it a practical option where moderate water lifting and reliable everyday pumping are required.

A 0.75HP motor is approximately 0.55kW, and comparable 0.75HP borehole pumps commonly operate from 220–240V single-phase electricity. Stainless-steel bodies are also widely used in this pump class because of their suitability for submerged operation.

Vecounte 0.75HP Submersible Pump Specifications

The 65m maximum head and 1.25-inch outlet are specifications for this Vecounte model. Other electrical and performance details should always be confirmed from the exact pump nameplate before installation.

Maximum Head of 65 Metres

The Vecounte pump can produce a maximum head of 65 metres, equal to approximately 213 feet.

This makes it suitable for many shallow-to-medium-depth borehole installations, provided the complete system is correctly sized.

Comparable 0.75HP multi-stage submersible pumps are available with maximum heads ranging from about 56 to 75 metres, depending on their number of stages and hydraulic design.

However, maximum head should not be confused with borehole depth.

If your borehole is 60 metres deep, for example, that does not automatically mean a 65m-head pump is suitable. You must consider the dynamic water level, vertical delivery height, pipe friction and required pressure at the tank or outlet.

1.25-Inch Water Outlet

The Vecounte 0.75HP submersible pump has an approximately 1.25-inch outlet, also written as 1¼ inch.

This is a common connection size among higher-flow 0.75HP borehole pumps. For example, another 0.75HP submersible pump rated at 5,000 L/hr uses a 1.25-inch outlet.

Using the correct delivery pipe size is important. A pipe that is unnecessarily small increases friction losses and can reduce the amount of water reaching your tank.

0.75HP Copper-Wound Motor

The 0.75HP rating is approximately equivalent to 0.55kW of motor power. Comparable 0.75HP borehole pumps use this 0.55kW rating.

For the Vecounte range, the copper-wound motor is designed to provide dependable performance for borehole and well-water applications.

The motor operates while submerged, which also allows the surrounding water to assist with cooling during normal operation.

The pump should never be allowed to run dry. Without sufficient water around the pump, the motor and internal components can overheat or become damaged.

Stainless-Steel Pump Body

The Vecounte pump uses a stainless-steel body, providing a strong exterior suitable for submerged installations.

Stainless steel is commonly used for modern borehole pumps because it offers good corrosion resistance while maintaining a relatively slim and strong construction. Comparable 0.75HP deep-well pumps also use stainless-steel bodies.

This makes the Vecounte suitable for long-term installation inside a correctly constructed borehole or well.

Multi-Stage Water Pumping

Deep-well submersible pumps generally use multiple impeller stages to build the pressure needed to push water vertically.

Each stage adds pressure to the water as it moves through the pump. This is why a relatively compact 0.75HP submersible pump can achieve a head as high as 65 metres.

Comparable 0.75HP borehole pumps use multi-stage construction specifically to achieve higher lifting pressure.

Suitable for Boreholes

The Vecounte 0.75HP submersible pump can be used for a correctly sized borehole installation.

Unlike a surface pump, the submersible pump operates below the water level. It pushes water upward instead of trying to draw it from deep underground.

This eliminates the normal suction-lift limitation associated with surface pumps.

Before installation, check:

• Borehole total depth
• Static water level
• Dynamic water level
• Borehole casing diameter
• Distance to the storage tank
• Tank elevation
• Required water flow
• Pipe diameter
• Available electricity supply

These details help determine whether the 65m maximum head provides enough capacity for the installation.

Good Choice for Domestic Water Supply

The 0.75HP size makes this Vecounte pump particularly useful for domestic installations that do not require a very large motor.

It can pump borehole water to a storage tank, after which gravity or a booster pump can distribute water around the property.

Comparable 0.75HP submersible pumps are commonly recommended for domestic water supply, livestock watering and smaller agricultural applications.

Suitable for Small-Scale Irrigation

The Vecounte 0.75HP can also serve farms where moderate quantities of borehole or well water need to be transferred to storage tanks or suitable irrigation systems.

Applications may include kitchen gardens, greenhouses, nurseries and livestock farms.

The actual irrigation capacity depends on the pump’s flow at the required operating head, not simply its maximum head.

Understanding Maximum Head and Flow Rate

One important point when choosing a borehole pump is that maximum head and maximum flow do not occur at the same time.

As the pumping height increases, available water flow normally decreases.

For example, a different 0.75HP pump may produce around 3 m³/hr at its rated operating point while having a maximum head in the 56–69m range.

For this reason, the Vecounte performance curve should be used when an exact flow rate at a particular depth is required.

Vecounte 0.75HP vs Larger Submersible Pumps

*The figures shown are for the Vecounte models specified, not general specifications for every pump with the same horsepower.

The 0.75HP model is therefore a useful option where the installation does not require the much higher head capacity of the larger Vecounte pumps.

Benefits of the Vecounte 0.75HP Submersible Pump

65m maximum head: Provides useful lifting capability for suitable boreholes and wells.

0.75HP motor: Offers a balance between pumping performance and electricity consumption.

1.25-inch outlet: Provides a practical connection for water delivery.

Stainless-steel body: Gives the pump a strong and corrosion-resistant outer construction.

Submerged operation: No normal surface-pump priming is required once correctly installed underwater.

Multiple applications: Suitable for homes, farms, livestock watering, tank filling and small-scale irrigation.

Compact design: Borehole pumps provide substantial vertical lifting ability from a relatively narrow pump body.

Installation Guide

The pump should be installed below the dynamic water level while maintaining the clearances recommended for the specific borehole and pump.

Use a strong delivery pipe rated for the expected pressure. The electrical cable and joints must also be properly waterproofed.

A non-return valve may be required depending on the pump and installation. It prevents water in the rising main from flowing backwards when the pump stops.

The pump should also be suspended correctly. Do not use the electrical cable as the main support for the pump.

Electrical protection should match the pump manufacturer’s requirements. This may include overload, short-circuit and dry-running protection.

How to Choose the Correct Borehole Pump

Do not select a pump only because it has a 65m maximum head.

Start with the dynamic water level. Then calculate the vertical height from that level to the final delivery point. Add pressure requirements and estimated pipe friction losses.

The result is the total dynamic head, which gives a much better indication of the pump required.

For example, if the actual system requires 40m of total head, you need to know how much water the Vecounte pump delivers at 40m, rather than simply knowing that its maximum is 65m.

Care and Maintenance

A submersible pump requires relatively little routine maintenance when installed correctly, but the complete water system should still be checked periodically.

Watch for reduced flow, unusual electricity consumption or frequent tripping. A sudden reduction in water output can indicate falling borehole water levels, blocked pipework, worn pump components or an electrical problem.

Never operate the pump when the borehole has insufficient water. Dry running is one of the conditions that can shorten the life of a submersible pump.
