No modern private house is complete without a pumping station. Thanks to this device, it is possible to organize a comfortable water supply for both residents and household appliances. In addition, pumps help irrigate plants in the garden, as well as increase the pressure in the highway. But the main advantage of the pumping station is the ability to automate water supply or irrigation. A wide range of water pumps is sold on the Russian market. They differ in both technical characteristics and cost. The advice of our experts will help you make the right choice.

Recommendations for selection

Design features. When creating pumping stations, manufacturers choose one of two designs.

1. Centrifugal pumps pump water through the rotation of the blades, which pick up water and supply it to the outlet pipe with a hose. Such models have high performance, low vibration, versatility of use. Of the minuses, it should be noted the sensitivity to water quality and the high price.

2. The vortex pump is also equipped with a rotating impeller with blades. But water moves in a spiral, and suction occurs due to the formation of a zone of strong rarefaction (negative pressure). Pumps are inexpensive, they are easy to repair and maintain.

Lifting height. One of the most important characteristics of a water pump is the lift height. It is also called maximum pressure. The elevation is usually expressed in meters. 10 meters corresponds to a pressure of 1 atmosphere. When calculating the maximum pressure, the consumer should take into account not only the length of the water supply, but also the depth of the fence.

suction depth. Each pump has a maximum immersion depth from which it can still lift water. The length of the electrical cord can also be a limiting factor. It must be longer than the maximum immersion depth of the pump.

Bandwidth. When water is supplied to several points of consumption at the same time, it is important to take into account such a parameter as performance. It is also called throughput, the characteristic is expressed in cubic meters or liters per hour. The starting point of the calculation should be the peak drawdown.

Hydraulic accumulator volume. Many pumping stations are equipped with hydraulic accumulators (hydraulic tanks). These are storage tanks in which a certain supply of water is stored. The accumulator can be up to 100 liters. The more residents and household appliances (washing machines and dishwashers), the more water is required. The most popular in our country are models with a hydraulic tank of 20-25 liters.

Materials. The durability of the pumping station largely depends on the materials used by the manufacturer for the manufacture of components and parts.

1. The best option for creating a body is the use of high-strength cast iron.

2. Reliable shafts are made of stainless steel.

3. Non-ferrous metals and their alloys are suitable for the role of blades.

4. Plastic is becoming a great option for lids and boxes.

Rating of the best pumping stations

The best centrifugal pumping stations

A wide range of models is offered to consumers in the category of centrifugal pumping stations. Pumps favorably differ in universality of application, power and convenience of service. The experts liked the following pumps.

Grundfos MQ 3-35 (850 W)

Rating: 4.9

A multi-stage device for establishing water supply in the house is the Danish development Grundfos MQ 3-35. The pump combines high quality materials, functionality and noiselessness. Experts note the successful use of chromium-nickel steel in the creation of the body and critical parts. The unit is equipped with a convenient control panel on which fault indicators are installed. In case of overheating or “dry running”, the pump automatically switches off. To avoid continuous switching on and off of the device at low water consumption, the manufacturer has installed an “anti-cycling” system. The device becomes the winner in the nomination.

Russian users liked the quiet operation of the station, compact dimensions and durability. The disadvantage of the pump is the high price.

JILEX Jumbo 70/50 H-24 (carbon steel) (1100 W)

Rating: 4.8

The automatic mode of water supply for domestic needs allows you to set up the Jumbo 70/50 H-24 pump of the well-known Russian company GILEKS. The model stands out from the competition with its record breaking head (50 m) and large suction depth (9 m). A decent performance (4,2 cubic meters / h) is provided by a powerful electric motor (1100 W) to the station. The pump is equipped with a 24 l hydraulic tank. Experts recommend a station for supplying water to several points of water intake. The device not only raises water from deep sources, but is also capable of increasing the pressure in the main. The metal case gives to a product durability and durability. Domestic development receives the silver of our review.

Many owners are satisfied with the technical parameters of the installation and the strong steel case. Of the minuses, noise during operation is noted.

Grundfos JP 4-47 (850 W)

Rating: 4.7

The highest performing pump in our review was the Grundfos JP 4-47 model. The device is capable of pumping up tanks with a total capacity of 4,7 cubic meters within an hour. m. The station looks worthy in such indicators as suction depth (8 m) and head (47 m). The unit is driven by an electric motor with a power of 0,85 kW. The manufacturer equipped the pump with a built-in ejector, thanks to this design, the installation and operation of the unit is simplified. Experts highlight the lightness of the station (8 kg) and its compactness. The asset of the pump should include a neat assembly, the presence of protection against overheating. The device wins the bronze position.

In Runet, there are still few reviews from real consumers. Perhaps a deterrent when buying for many Russians is the high cost.

Denzel PS800X (800 W)

Rating: 4.7

A successful combination of price, quality and excellent technical parameters is possessed by the Denzel PS800X water supply unit. The device can pump water with a pressure of 38 m, lifting it from a mark of 8 m below ground level. An 800 W electric motor provides a performance of 3200 l / h. The manufacturer equipped the station with a 24-liter hydraulic accumulator. The device can be configured to automatically turn on / off, and set the mode of continuous operation. The station’s assets include the use of stainless steel to create the hull. The pump resists corrosion for a long time.
