How the Jumbo pumping station works

Our compatriots were convinced once again that Russian-made products are no worse than foreign ones. Pumping stations Dzhileks Jumbo are distinguished by good technical characteristics, show themselves from the best side in the work on a summer cottage / suburban area.

The principle of operation and design of pumping stations Jumbo

To understand the principle of operation of the Jilex Jumbo pumping equipment, you should understand its structure. The station has several main nodes:

• hydroaccumulator, it is also a storage membrane tank, with a capacity of 24 liters or more;
• water pump, for more efficient models with a remote ejector;
• a relay that responds to pressure drops in the tank;
• pressure gauge.

The pump impeller is always made of a durable polymer that is resistant to the mechanical effects of abrasives. The equipment body is made of cast iron (marked with the letter "CH" in the name of the device), glass-filled polypropylene (marked "P") or stainless steel ("N"). The accumulator is produced only in steel.

The pumping station operates according to the following principle:

1. in the initially filled tank, the pressure is at the maximum mark;
2. as soon as the water supply valve in the house opens, the liquid leaves the tank through pipes and enters the plumbing points of the cottage;
3. at the same moment, the pressure of the accumulator drops, which leads to the inclusion of the pump;
4. the unit pumps water into the tank until the pressure returns to the set permissible value.

There is always a sufficient supply of liquid in the system for optimal head. The cycles of the station are repeated.

Model range and technical characteristics

All Jumbo pumping equipment from Jilex is marked in such a way that the user can take out the main features of the unit from the name. For example, the name of the NS Jumbo 70/50 H-24 station will be deciphered as follows:

• НС - pumping station;
• 70 - unit capacity (l / min);
• 50 - head - the distance to which the maximum unit can transport water, calculated in meters;
• Н - body material, in this case stainless steel;
• 24 - the volume of the accumulator (in liters).

In total, there are several models of Jileks Jumbo pumping stations on the market. With the same technical characteristics, housings can be made of different materials (steel, cast iron, polymer).

Jilex Jumbo Station 50/28

This model has the following specifications:

• productivity - 50 l / min;
• head - 28 m;
• tank volume - 24 l;
• power - 500 W;
• the ability to transport water from a depth of up to 9 m.

Such a station is the best option for a small summer cottage or a family of 2-3 people.

NS Jumbo 60/35

The capabilities of this model according to the instructions:

• the temperature of the pumped-over water - + 1- + 50 degrees;
• productivity - 60 liters per minute;
• head - 35 m;
• permissible liquid intake depth - 9 m;
• power - 600 W.

The approximate price of the Jumbo 60/35 model is about 8,500 rubles.

Jumbo Station 70/50

Here the unit is more powerful and efficient. Its technical characteristics:

• power - 1100 W;
• productivity - 70 l / min;
• head - 50 m;
• the volume of the tank is 24 liters.

All models of Jumbo pumping stations are equipped with a soft start system, protection against dry running (combustion). Automatic control of the unit simplifies its operation.

How to choose a station for a country house

In order for the pumping equipment to work as efficiently as possible (not to overspend electricity and supply the optimal volume of water), when choosing it, you need to rely on the following criteria:

• Performance. Determined by the number of plumbing points in the house and by the number of people living in it. At the same time, the capacity of the unit should not exceed the flow rate of the water intake source. Otherwise, the station will shut down due to the danger of dry running.
• Storage tank volume. For a family of two, it is enough to take a hydraulic accumulator with a capacity of 24 liters. For 3-5 people living in the house, a volume of 50 liters is already needed, and so on.
• Station pressure. It is calculated simply - the vertical distance from the unit to the highest plumbing point + 1/10 of the total horizontal length of the pipeline + the head of the crane (from 4 to 10 m).
• Body material. Here you need to rely on the future operating conditions of the equipment. Steel and cast iron are suitable for more "field". The polymer will be cheaper, but it is better to use it in a warm room.
• Equipment power. Should match the family's ability to pay for utility bills with optimal plant performance.

If the water intake will be carried out from a depth of more than 10 m, it is worth taking equipment with a remote ejector.

Features of operation and maintenance

Jumbo pumping stations are sold ready for installation. The main rule during installation is not to run the equipment dry. It is imperative to fill the system with water.

Before continuous operation, adjust the working pressure with a pressure gauge.

It is advisable to lubricate the working units of the station once a year. If operation in the winter is not foreseen, the equipment is dismantled and removed until the next season.

It is advisable to check the equipment annually: monitor the tightness of pipes, monitor the water mirror in the source.

To avoid equipment vibration during operation, it is better to place the unit on a rubberized base. It will also somewhat muffle the noise of the operating equipment.

In case of any breakdowns, it is worth contacting the service center. Although Jumbo stations from Jilex, according to reviews, break down extremely rarely.

Advantages and disadvantages

Users note the following positive aspects of Jumbo stations:

• smooth start;
• no water hammer in the system when turned on;
• constant water pressure in a country house;
• compactness of the unit;
• ease of installation and connection;
• protection against voltage surges, dry running.

Of the shortcomings, only the increased noise level of the station was named. But this problem can be solved if the equipment is installed in a soundproof room.

Customer Reviews

According to reviews, the Jumbo pumping station is ideal for arranging an autonomous water supply system in the country, in a country house.

Nikolay, 38 years old: I bought Jumbo 70/50 station three years ago, when I finished building a house. For a family of four, I took equipment with a 50 liter tank. From the house to the well 20 meters plus a 6 m water mirror. Additionally I have a plot of 5 acres. All this is supplied with water by the hard worker Jumbo. In summer, it pumps continuously for watering for 3-4 hours. It still works fine. I installed the station in the basement. It's true, but I put in a thick rubber mat. They are considering isolating the basement from the house for noise.

Pavel, 33 years old:In my dacha there is a Jumbo 60/35 in a cast-iron case. Initially, I took it for watering the garden and vegetable garden. Now on the site has built a house with three rooms. For my wife and I, such a unit is enough (shower, toilet, kitchen sink). The station noise was neutralized with a special insulated caisson. For two years, there are no complaints about the unit.

Yura, 29 years old:I took the Jumbo 50/28 station in a steel case for watering a vegetable garden and a garden. To prevent the unit from jumping during operation, it was additionally fixed (there are special fastening legs). The equipment is working properly, water is supplied with good pressure.For two hours of continuous work, we water 6 acres of a vegetable garden. It is normal, I think, for the Russian apparatus.
