Standard accessories for a surface-mounted dewatering pump typically include a suction strainer, couplings (like camlock or quick-connect), suction pipes and delivery hoses (such as lay-flat or PVC hoses), and possibly a vacuum pump for priming and air removal, as well as control boxes for starting the pump. The specific accessories can vary depending on the system, such as for a wellpoint dewatering setup where quick-coupling pipes and a header main are used with the pumps.
Suction Strainer: This is placed at the end of the suction pipe to prevent large debris from entering the pump, protecting it from damage.
Suction and Delivery Hoses/Pipes: Flexible hoses, such as lay-flat hose, PVC, or canvas hoses, are used to draw water into the pump and discharge it away from the site.
Couplings: These are essential for connecting the various hoses and pipes. Common types include camlock couplings, quick connectors, and jointer fittings.
Bend & Clamps: Used to secure hoses to the couplings, ensuring a tight fit and preventing leaks.
Control Box/Controller: An optional but often necessary accessory that controls the operation of the pump, allowing for easy start/stop and potentially providing features like phase compensation.
Quick-Coupling Pipes (SK-pipes): These are portable pipes with quick-connect fittings, used to create the temporary piping system for dewatering.
Well-points: The actual filters that are installed into the ground to draw water up.
Header Main: A horizontal vacuum pipe that the individual wellpoint pipes are connected to via flexible couplings.
Vacuum Pump: In a wellpoint system, a vacuum pump is used to draw water and air through the header main and out of the wellpoints.
