Among the electrical accessories for submersible pumps, a strategic position is occupied by the starter box, also called a control box or starter box. Equipped with a starting capacitor and a thermal switch (overcurrent), it ensures engine start-up and its effective thermal protection. Do you want to know how a starter box for a submersible pump works and how to control it correctly? Or maybe you are wondering how to choose the right submersible pump? In both cases, our guide will help you.

How to properly control a starter box for a submersible pump?
The starter box is an integral part of the deep well pump engine without a built-in starting capacitor. Its tasks include starting and stopping the pump and protecting the device from overheating. However, it does not protect the engine from dry running. Having a starting capacitor outside the engine allows for efficient identification and removal of any failure.
The parameters of the capacitor and overload switch in the starter box must be precisely matched to the power of the pump motor. Therefore, it is safest to decide on a dedicated solution from the manufacturer of the submersible motor. Modern starter boxes are designed in such a way as to provide easy control of the operation of submersible motors - even for people without specialist knowledge. The intuitive panel in some models additionally simplifies operation.
Both at the stage of connecting the starter box to the pump engine, as well as during further operation, it is absolutely necessary to follow the instructions contained in the documentation attached to the device. In the event of any problems, contact the manufacturer's technical department or an authorized service center. If you are just planning a purchase and do not know which starter box for a deep well pump will be the best, you can always call or write to Onninen sales advisors. Our specialists will help you choose the right product.
How to choose the right submersible pump?
A submersible pump for a well must be sized to fit the tank, leaving a small gap to avoid deformation of the well pipe. In addition, the submersible pump is selected based on the well depth, the distance between the tank and the building, and the minimum height of the water surface. This data allows you to determine the required pumping height and the correct depth of immersion of the device in the well. In the case of very deep tanks, it may be necessary to purchase a specialist submersible pump.
It is also important to determine the well's efficiency in order to avoid future dry runs, and consequently the risk of engine damage. When choosing a submersible pump, you should also pay attention to the cleanliness of the water in the well. For example, the presence of sand may require the installation of a device with increased resistance to damage, equipped with impellers and filters. When buying a submersible pump, it is worth immediately purchasing accessories that increase the functionality and comfort of using the installation, e.g. a hydrophore tank or an automatic controller with a frequency converter.
