7 best pumping stations
If there is no water in the faucet ... Choose the best pumping station for home and garden.
Author: Stepan Kagner
Good to have your home? Naturally. But the lack of things that a city dweller takes for granted from birth, this pleasure can seriously spoil. First of all, we are talking about water supply: it’s one thing to open a tap in the morning ... and another thing is to stomp with a bucket to the well. In addition, the availability of water allows you to get rid of one more classic sign of the private sector - yes, the one that stands in the courtyard in the form of a booth.
But if the central water supply has deprived you of its benefits, then it’s time to take matters into your own hands. The benefit of inventing nothing is needed: buying a pumping station will allow you to enjoy uninterrupted supply of water to the tap with a minimum of problems and fuss. It remains only to choose which particular pumping station is better to put at home or in the country - well, and your humble servant today will act as an expert on water supply, and it was good for almost eight years to work in this area, and the last name is the most suitable.

The Danish company in our country was known in Soviet times. Now she has become “almost ours” at all: in Istra, in 2011, a company factory was opened. Compact pumps are made under this brand for “purely domestic” needs, and monstrous buildings that work on city Vodokanals (and work well - we confirm with a personal acquaintance). So it is not surprising that the pumping station of this particular brand deserves the first place in our rating. Having a height of 8 meters almost standard by the standards of this class, the station is capable of delivering a flow of up to 2.7 m³ / h (45 l / min). The lifting height is up to 42 m. In other words, for most applications, the characteristics of the station are more than sufficient. The material of the pump casing - a classic cast iron, but the polymer impeller. No need to be afraid of plastic in this place: the absence of vulnerability to corrosion, resistance to cavitation provide him with an excellent resource, and fiberglass reinforcement is responsible for mechanical strength. As practice shows, complaints to this site does not occur. Nevertheless, we note that flaws assemblies are sometimes found in such a renowned company. However, we live in a time when premium cars do not always shine with reliability at their seven-digit price, which is already there. So the “localized” build of Grundfos, unfortunately, is no longer the same as in the “good old days”. And when choosing an installation site, note that the pumps of this company are traditionally noisy. Main advantages:

The company is well-known, although it already says “Made in Hungary” on my own (like there are Russian ones now). But the pumping station still works without any complaints. |

Simplicity is not about E.Sybox. The pump station has a full digital control, and with the Russified on-screen menu. The use of a programmed motor control of the pump made it possible to achieve maximum silence from the station; moreover, the noise insulation casing does its job.The one-and-a-half kilowatt engine allows, at one hundred percent return, to obtain a capacity of up to 125 l / min at a head of up to 65 meters, and a fence height of up to 8 meters. Fastening possibilities - for every taste: even on the floor vertically, even horizontally (on either side or on the back), even with the help of a bracket on the wall. The display with control buttons regularly has the ability to quickly turn to a comfortable position. Also, the company offers a monstrous accumulative tank E.Sytank for 480 liters, designed for the installation of just this pumping station. The station is equipped with all necessary types of protection: from dry running, overheating, leaks, power surges. The motor itself is unusual - it uses water cooling instead of the usual air. Finally, wireless technologies allow you to configure and test the station directly from your smartphone, without getting off the couch. Seems too much like an ad? Alas, the manufacturer did not carry the envelope either to our site or to the author personally. Let's be honest: you will have to tinker with the setting, without reading the instructions, the “spear method” will not work. And it will be necessary to tune the frequency regulation with a motor, because, due to the small volume of the expansion tank, the station is sensitive to the load, and incorrect configuration will lead to dips with a subsequent pressure jump if sudden changes in water consumption occur. Actually, it was the “smart” performance management of the pump that made it possible to reduce the tank volume to a minimum - but, if you don’t give the station “mind”, you know ... And finally, the price at this station is one of the highest in our market, no matter how cool you are Only top models of European brands like Grundfos CMBE 10-54 can “pull out” a large amount). Therefore, having weighed the pros and cons, we still cannot give a high score in the rating of the best pumping stations. Main advantages:

It is a very good pumping station for the house, it does not fold if the washing machine is filled at the same time, a shower is pouring and watering is working. Things worthwhile. "Standing", however, and for the price. |

Continuing our ranking of the best pumping stations for home and garden Marina CAM 100/25. A sufficient budget station from the Italian company Speroni sp.a.a can boast a decent performance (4.2 m³ / h with a head up to 45 meters), it can work with an independent fence, and to increase the pressure. Broad tank - 25 liters. There is also a protection against dry running, so for this money the option is very interesting. But keep in mind that the components here are traditional for this price level of quality - first of all, this concerns the pressure switch and the pressure accumulator membrane. No, they will not fall apart in a month, they will survive the warranty period not for one year, but according to statistics it will be a fuss with them, and, of course, already at their own expense. The pressure switch will require adjustment over time, and here a small miscalculation of the designers will be revealed: it is inconvenient to monitor the pressure gauge. And still have to stock up on the key "9" (oh, this is the current love of the "wrong" keys). And do not forget to check the relay - just the excess pressure and often becomes the cause of membrane damage. Main advantages:

It works normally, I do not complain, especially as it stands at a well in an extension, I can not hear it at home. |

But this is not a high-tech E.Sybox, but the pumping station, which is classical in design.It gives out its 4.8 m³ / h, and the headroom is decent, but you can forget about noiselessness: you should not install a pump station at home, otherwise it can wake up its response at night. It is also worth considering when connecting that the half-kilowatt motor has a solid starting current. It is necessary to purchase the dry-running relay, which is not installed out of the box. As a result, the station will be even more expensive than the Marina CAM 100/25, and they are very close both in performance and reliability. Overpayment for the brand (DAB will be larger than Speroni, and they have a substantial cash flow)? So, alas, in Russia, both companies "are about to hear" about the same. Main advantages:

If you have to take water "from the depths", the pumping station JPD 4-54 PT-V just does not save: the fence is possible from a depth of up to 27 meters. The pump casing and the external ejector are made of high-quality cast iron with a corrosion-resistant coating, the impeller and the venturi tube of the ejector are made of the original polymer Noryl (fiberglass reinforced polystyrene / polyphenylene composition), which provides sufficient resistance to cavitation destruction. Pump shaft - stainless steel. In general, everything is as it should be. The minimum diameter of a well into which a standard ejector can be immersed is 100 mm. The pump is driven by a 790-watt motor with built-in overheating protection. As for the characteristics of the pump itself, they are given in the marking: "4" means the maximum consumption in cubic meters per hour, "54" - the maximum pressure in meters. Maximum pressure - 6 bar. Worthy characteristics, especially if your house has more than one floor: here Grundfos will show itself in all its glory. If it is not enough, then Grundfos has much more powerful models of the same type. Main advantages:

The Chinese, hiding behind Cyrillic abbreviations in the title, is not so bad to be guaranteed to pass by. The maximum capacity is 2.4 m³ / h, a fence from a depth of up to 25 m is possible. The quality of pump and ejector materials for this price category and “biography” is decent. Although ... Why really find fault with the “yellow” assembly, when Grundfos doesn't disdain it now. The only thing that can cause problems in the near future with the purchase of this pumping station is, in fact, its installation. The connections are very close, so this operation is no different convenience. Main advantages:

A simple and not very expensive pumping station with a two-liter tank is useful at the dacha, even if the substation there still remembers not that Khrushchev, but Stalin, or no electricity at all: with a power of 370 W, even a car inverter will pull it out. Yes, and carry it with you is not difficult - it weighs 7.5 kg, and then mainly due to the "cast iron" of the pump. The fence can be conducted from a depth of up to 5 meters, maximum performance - 30 liters per minute. Pour the beds out of the hose enough, wash your hands - even more so. The pressure switch is tared to switch on at one and a half bars, the station is turned off, pumping up 2.2 bars. Main advantages:

In the spring I throw the pump station in the trunk, bringing it to the country. There I screwed it to the workbench, turned it on and use it: the network does not load at all. |
Which pump station is better to choose?
We begin, naturally, with water supply conditions. When you have a full-water well at hand, any will do (by the way, please note that self-priming pumps, even if they promise a fence from 8 meters, you shouldn’t work with a level lower than 4 - and there is less noise and load), but in deep the well will require either a submersible pump or a pumping station with an external ejector. Take into account the height to which water will have to be supplied, and not only vertically: even a horizontal pipe creates resistance, depending on the location of the pump relative to the water intake and pipe section it is taken to be 4 to 10 meters of a horizontal pipe per meter of “vertical”.
At ejector (and with an internal ejector, and with external) pumping stations have a characteristic feature - sensitivity to air in the system. An air-oversized pump can work for a long time without gaining pressure and inevitably overheating. Therefore, carefully approach the assembly. On the first start, until the pump is filled, do not be afraid of the increased noise and long work - this is normal.
An integral part of each pumping station is expansion tank (a hydroaccumulator). His task is to keep a certain volume of water under a given pressure. That is, when you open the tap, it is the tank that starts to drive the water, and it is only when the pressure drops below the relay calibration that the pump takes over. The more water consumption is planned, the greater must be the tank, and the pump must provide a performance that is guaranteed greater than the planned flow. But it is not necessary to “overdo it”, otherwise the pump will pull the water out of the well and work dry. And for him it is literally like death - therefore, if protection against dry running is not provided “out of the box”, do not forget that it can and should be installed independently. Especially if you leave for a long time without turning off the pump.
An interesting option (albeit an expensive one) is frequency controlled stations. Why? The fact is that conventional pumps operate on the “on-off” principle, and with high water consumption, the stability of the pressure will not be the best. "Chastotnik" can also adjust to the flow rate, even with a minimum tank volume, stabilizing the pressure by changing the engine speed. In addition, the frequency control perfectly implements a “smooth start”, and in water pumps, the starting current is not only high, but also decreases more slowly than, for example, in electric tools: switching-on occurs immediately under load, not idling.
And most importantly: whatever pump you choose, provide him with sufficient clean water intake. From the constant flow of sand, the “firm” will die like cheap “china”.
