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 their best side in work in the country / suburban area.
The principle of operation and device pumping stations Jumbo
To understand the principle of operation of the pumping equipment, Jilex Jumbo should understand its structure. The station has several main nodes:
- a hydraulic accumulator, it is also an accumulative membrane tank, with a capacity of 24 or more liters;
- water pump, for more productive models with a remote ejector;
- a relay that responds to pressure drops in the tank;
- manometer.
The impeller of the pump is always made of a durable polymer, resistant to mechanical stress of abrasives. The equipment case is made of cast iron (marked with the letter “Ch” in the name of the device), glass-filled polypropylene (marking “P”) or stainless steel (“H”). The hydraulic accumulator is produced only in steel.
A pumping station works according to this principle:
- in the initially filled tank, the pressure is at the maximum mark;
- as soon as the water supply tap in the house opens, the liquid leaves the tank through pipes and enters the plumbing points of the cottage;
- at the same time, the pressure of the accumulator drops, which leads to the inclusion of the pump;
- the unit pumps water into the tank until the pressure again reaches the set permissible value.
There is always a sufficient supply of fluid in the system for optimum pressure. Station operation cycles are repeated.
Lineup and Specifications
All Jumbo pumping equipment from Jilex is marked in such a way that the user can extract the main features of the unit from the name. For example, the name of the NS Jumbo station 70/50 N-24 will be decrypted as follows:
- NS - pumping station;
- 70 - unit capacity (l / min);
- 50 - head - the distance over which the unit can transport water as much as possible, is calculated in meters;
- H - case material, in this case stainless steel;
- 24 - the volume of the accumulator (in liters).
In total, there are several models of Jilex Jumbo pumping stations on the market. With the same technical characteristics, the 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 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 water - + 1- + 50 degrees;
- productivity - 60 liters per minute;
- head - 35 m;
- allowable depth of fluid intake - 9 m;
- power - 600 watts.
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 productive. Its technical characteristics:
- power - 1100 W;
- productivity - 70 l / min;
- head - 50 m;
- tank volume - 24 l.
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 spend energy and supply the optimal amount of water), when choosing it, you need to rely on the following criteria:
- Performance. It is determined by the number of plumbing points in the house and by the number of people living in it. Moreover, the performance of the unit should not be more than the flow rate of the intake source. Otherwise, the station will shut down due to the danger of dry running.
- The volume of the storage tank. 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 needed and so on.
- The pressure of the station. 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 + crane head (from 4 to 10 m).
- Body material. Here you need to rely on 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.
- Power equipment. It must be consistent with the family's ability to pay utility bills with optimal plant specifications.
If water will be taken 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 to install. The main rule during installation is not to start the equipment dry. It is necessary to fill the system with water.
Before continuous use, the operating pressure should be adjusted using a pressure gauge.
Once a year, it is advisable to lubricate the working nodes of the station. If winter operation is not provided, the equipment is dismantled and cleaned 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 vibration of the equipment during operation, it is better to put the unit on a rubberized base. She will somewhat drown out the noise of working equipment.
For any breakdowns, contact a service center. Although Jumbo stations from Gileks according to reviews break extremely rarely.
Advantages and disadvantages
Users note the following positive aspects of Jumbo stations:
- smooth start;
- lack of water hammer in the system when turned on;
- constant pressure of water in a country house;
- compactness of the unit;
- simplicity of installation and connection;
- surge protection, dry running.
Of the shortcomings, only the increased noise level of the station is named. But this problem can be solved if the equipment is installed in a soundproofed room.
Customer reviews
According to reviews, the Jumbo pumping station is ideally suited for the installation of an autonomous water supply system in the country, in a country house.
Nikolay, 38 years old: I bought the 70/50 Jumbo station three years ago when I finished building the house. For a family of four I took equipment with a tank of 50 liters. From the house to the well 20 meters plus a water mirror of 6 meters. Additionally, I have a plot of 5 acres. All this supplies the workaholic-jumbo with water. In summer it pumps continuously for watering for 3-4 hours. Still working properly. The station was installed in the basement. The noise is true, but I put a thick rubber mat. They are thinking of isolating the basement from the house for noise.
Pavel, 33 years old:I have a 60/35 Jumbo in a cast-iron case in my country house. Initially, he took for watering the garden and the vegetable garden. Now on the site has built a house with three rooms. For my wife and I have enough of such an aggregate (shower, toilet, kitchen sink). The noise of the station was neutralized by a special insulated caisson. For two years, there are no complaints about the unit.
Yura, 29 years old:I took a 50/28 Jumbo station in a steel case for watering the garden and the garden. To prevent the unit from jumping during operation, we additionally fixed it (there are special mounting legs). The equipment is working properly, it delivers water with good pressure.For two hours of continuous operation, we water 6 hundred parts of the garden. Normally, I think, for the Russian apparatus.
