For our well in the garden we needed a new well pump. Our choice has been due to several reasons on the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox well pump. Here also an experience report to the well pump of Gardena.  

Purchase decision for the Gardena well pump

Since we have a large garden, the new Brunnenpumpe also had to agree the performance. However, not only the performance had to be right, so we placed great emphasis on the processing of the well pump. Also this should not be too maintenance-intensive. The prerequisites that we have placed on a well pump are best seen in the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox well pump. That's why we decided to use this model from Gardena.  

Processing the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox Well pump

The housing is made entirely of stainless steel in the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox fountain pump. The base is located on the underside. By processing the stainless steel housing, this has the great advantage of being stainless. The pump drive is located inside the pump and consists of six stages. For the drive of the well pump provides an electric motor which comes to a power of about 850 watts. The energy required for the operation of the well pump is via a 230 volt connection cable. The connection cable comes to a length of 22 m. Due to the efficiency of the electric motor, the maximum flow rate is up to 5500 liters of water per hour. Both the immersion depth and the delivery height are limited. For example, the depth of immersion at the well pump is a maximum of 20 and the discharge height is 45 m. The electric motor generates a pressure of up to 4.5 bar for the well pump. The temperature of the water that can be fed is a maximum of 35 degrees. The Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox fountain pump is completely held in a stainless steel shade.  

Requirements for the well

In order to operate the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox well pump, there are requirements on the well. For example, it must have a minimum diameter of 10 cm. Also, the water must not be too warm to operate the well pump at a maximum of 35 degrees. If these requirements are fulfilled, the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox well pump can be operated very well.  

Handling the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox Fountain pump

The Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox fountain pump is very easy to operate, so you can simply drop it into the well using the connection cable. Whereby I have found here, with the length of the connection cable of 22 m, it can be quite scarce depending on the depth of the fountain. Here a longer connecting cable would be desirable, especially if one does not directly have a source of energy at the well. Due to the stand at the well pump, this is very stable on the well floor. In addition, the pedestal has a great advantage; any deposits such as sand and dirt on the well floor are not attracted by the well pump. Generally the Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox fountain pump is relatively simple in terms of maintenance. Now and then you just have to pull it out and clean it. Due to the stainless steel surface, however, this is relatively simple. The Gardena Premium 5500 5 inbox fountain pump works very reliably in operation, I have not noticed any deficiencies. Also, the well pump is not too loud, which we also feel as an advantage.
