For the installation of an autonomous water supply system in suburban areas, they mount their own sources (well, well). But of these, liquid still needs to be transported to the point of use. This is where the Jumbo Gilex surface pumps come to the rescue. In appearance, a simple device copes with a large volume of water per unit time.
Where can I use jumbo surface pumps
Units are designed to work with clean environments, so they can be actively used to transport water from a well, a well, the nearest reservoir, as well as to increase the pressure in the pipeline. Jumbo pumps provide:
- high-quality watering of a garden plot;
- water supply to the house to all sanitary points.
To avoid strong vibration and noise of the working unit, it is possible to lay a rubberized mat under it.
Description and overview of models
For all models without exception, the following specifications are the same:
- durable body material (polypropylene, stainless steel, cast iron, brass parts);
- durable impeller made of plastic;
- the presence of graphite-ceramic sealants to prevent leaks;
- mounted aluminum adapter flange;
- the presence of an electric motor with a short-circuited system;
- an installed thermal protector, which, if necessary, carries out emergency blocking of the unit.
Several models of pumps are popular:
- Jumbo 60/35 P. Equipped with a pressure switch and built-in ejector. Additionally there is a manometer, a 24-liter carbon steel accumulator and all connecting fittings. It turns out a complete pumping station. The unit pumps 60 liters of water per minute at a pressure of 35 meters. Permissible pumping media with impurities of 0.8 mm. Power consumption 600 watts. At an o'clock the pump can be switched on up to 20 times as much as possible. Operating temperature range from +1 to +50 degrees. The pump can lift water from a depth of 9 meters. The device is additionally equipped with a cooling fan.
- Jumbo 70/50 N. Pumping station with a steel accumulator. The maximum volume of pumped water per hour is 70 liters. Head - 50 meters. Permissible suction depth - 9 meters. The pump consumes 1,100 watts. The unit works with water, the temperature indicators of which vary in the range from +1 to +50 degrees. The model is equipped with a pressure switch and a built-in ejector. Case - stainless steel.
- Jumbo 60/35 h. In this model, the case is made of cast iron. The pump is also equipped with a pressure switch, pressure gauge and a 24-liter hydraulic accumulator. The unit pumps 60 liters / min at a pressure of 35 meters. The pump can transport medium with small impurities up to 0.8 mm. The depth of fluid intake is 9 meters. Power consumption 600 watts. The maximum temperature of the pumped water is +50 degrees.
- Jumbo 60/35 N. The model completely repeats its predecessors 60/35 P and 60/35 H with the only difference being that the pump casing is made of stainless steel.
- Jumbo 70/50 P. Like previous models equipped with a hydraulic tank, pressure switch, pressure gauge. The pump housing is made of durable polymer. Otherwise, its technical characteristics are completely identical to the 70/50 N model with a stainless steel case.
- Jumbo 70/50 H. The pump features are completely identical to the models 70/50 N and 70/50 P. The only difference is that the product body is made of durable cast iron.
All units are equipped with a Venturi tube system, which improves equipment performance. There are also modifications of Jumbo surface pumps with 50 liter hydraulic tanks.
Installation and operation
Proper installation of pumping equipment ensures its full operation without failures and breakdowns. Therefore, during installation, it is important to provide the following:
- It is advisable to install the pump on a specially prepared anti-vibration level platform. This will reduce the noise level of operating equipment.
- If the pump will be operated in the winter, you need to arrange a special insulated caisson under it. Otherwise, the system will freeze. You also need to insulate the water pipes from the source to the pump and to the house. You can mount the pump station in the basement of the cottage, provided that it is heated.
- If the pump will be mounted on the brackets to the wall, it is also advisable to lay rubber gaskets under them so that the vibration of the unit does not violate the integrity of the walls.
Otherwise, the installation of the pump looks like this:
- From a water mirror, plus the right number of meters in depth, measure a piece of pipe that reaches the pump inlet.
- A coarse filter is put on the end of the tube that will be immersed in the pumped medium. It will protect the working chamber of the unit from debris.
- A check valve is mounted on the pump inlet and then connected to the second end of the pipe. All joints are laid with FUM tape for better sealing.
- Another pipe section is pulled from the accumulator to the central line.
- After the station is fully assembled, it must be filled with water (including the tank). It is forbidden to start the pump idle.
- Before turning on the equipment, regulate the pressure in the system. It should be equal to 2.6-3 atm. With such indicators, the pump will turn on and off independently.
- Once all equipment is configured, it can be started from the network.
At the first start-up, the pipeline and the station are checked for leaks. If the pump will not be used in winter, you need to drain all the water from the system and remove the unit to heat.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Jumbo Pumps
In addition to a wide range, Jumbo surface aggregates have a number of advantages:
- The increased functionality. With the help of a small unit, a continuous supply of water is provided for a family of 2-3 people.
- Smooth start. The equipment is insured against water shocks and too high inrush currents, therefore it will work longer.
- The presence of a cooling fan that acts as protection against overheating.
- Easy to install and configure. Even a beginner can handle the equipment.
- Power saving
- Protection against possible voltage surges.
The only downside to Jumbo surface pumps is their moderate performance. For a family of 4-5 people, such equipment as a pumping station will not be enough. The unit copes confidently with watering the plot.
