The Gilex Jumbo pumping station is surface-mounted. The equipment has a built-in ejector, which is connected to pipes. The system promotes efficient absorption of liquid at the inlet; in addition, the equipment does not have requirements for the purity of the liquid and dissolved gases.
Reviews about the features of Jumbo pump models
Gilex pumping stations, reviews of which you can read below, are represented by models 60/35 P and 70/50 P, which have a polymer body, and embedded threaded parts are made of brass. The 60/35 N, 60/45 and 70/50 pumps have a stainless steel body, while the 60/35 model has this part made of cast iron. According to users, some parts, including the impeller, are made of plastic materials, they are highly wear-resistant.
The Gilex pumping station, the malfunctions of which can be corrected by you yourself, has an aluminum adapter flange covered with a lid, which is why its contact with water is completely excluded. Buyers emphasize that the equipment is well protected from leaks, this is ensured through the use of graphite-ceramic seals.
The device operates using an electric motor, which is a short-circuited system with components. The stator is located under the protection of a thermal protector, the latter takes on the emergency blocking function. As buyers emphasize, this component turns off the engine if the winding overheats. The Gilex pumping station is capable of maintaining the required pressure by turning the device off and on depending on the fluid flow. The units can be divided according to the control principle. Some are based on the principle of automation; they have a surface accumulator, a pressure switch and a pressure gauge. The volume of the hydraulic accumulator in this case is 24 liters. If we are talking about a 70/50 P-50 pump, then this figure is 2 times higher, since a horizontal hydraulic accumulator with a volume of 50 liters is installed there. Model 70/50 N-50 DOM is equipped with a powerful controller that guarantees effective control.
Review of positive qualities
The Gilex pumping station has many advantages, among them are:
- reduction of starting currents;
- minimizing mechanical loads;
- absence of water hammer at the moment of switching on.
It should be noted that there is reliable protection against voltage surges, as well as the absence of dry running. A certain pressure is set in the pump and maintained at a given level during operation. Dry running is eliminated thanks to an automation unit that controls the amount of flow. The threshold pressure value is set here.

Review of the “70/50 P” pump
This Gilex Jumbo pumping station costs 7,500 rubles. and is intended for use in garden conditions. The equipment must be installed on a surface. The device combines the advantages of a centrifugal pump and the practicality of a self-priming model. The unit is adapted to operating conditions in Russia, where voltage fluctuations are frequent. In this case, the quality of the sucked water may vary, in addition, it may contain a certain volume of gas. This equipment is intended for supplying water from reservoirs, wells, wells, reservoirs and containers.
Technical characteristics of model 70/50 P
If you are interested in Gilex Jumbo pumping stations, it is recommended that you read reviews about them before visiting the store. The 70/50 P model, whose power consumption is 1100 W, is no exception. This garden pump has a capacity of 3.9 thousand l/h. The maximum suction depth is 9 m, but the water supply height is 45 m. The device weighs 9.85 kg. The equipment has an automatic system that ensures independent switching on and off, while the pressure will be maintained at a certain level. This ensures continuous operation.
The pump can be operated over a wide temperature range, but the temperature of the pumped water can range from 1 to 50 °C. These Gilex Jumbo pumping stations, reviews of which are often positive, have an asynchronous squirrel-cage motor, a pressure gauge and a hydraulic accumulator. The use of graphite-ceramic seals eliminates leaks from the pump. During the manufacturing process, materials such as glass-filled polypropylene are used, which forms the basis of the body. The embedded threaded parts are made of brass, but the wheels are based on a plastic material. The Venturi guide tube ensures productive and stable operation over a long service life.
Repair features
Despite the fact that the described equipment has high quality, repairs to the Gilex pumping station may be required. If you notice that there is a hum in the engine, and the equipment is choking, all this can cause problems with the impeller or engine. Disassemble the device and inspect it yourself. If the impeller is cracked or the bearings are faulty, they can be replaced with new ones and the device can be reassembled in the reverse order.
Special pumps will help normalize the situation, which:
- contribute to increasing pressure in the pipeline;
- turn on and off independently as water is consumed;
- automatically maintain technological parameters that comply with standards;
- create comfortable conditions for consumption;
- provide uninterrupted water supply to city apartments, cottages, dachas, farms, etc.
The following signs indicate the need to install a pump:
- There is no required pressure in the manifold at the distribution comb.
- The flow is interrupted during certain periods of increased load (the problem is relevant for the upper floors of apartment buildings).
- Measurements show that different pressure points are observed at different points in the network.
- Household appliances (washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters) work intermittently, and software errors regularly appear on the display.
Design and operating features of the pressure boosting pump
The design of pressure booster pumps depends on the model and includes:
- electric motor;
- pump part (housing, flow block, impeller);
- connection units (outlet and inlet fittings, drain and filler holes, hose, terminal blocks, electrical cable);
- control and monitoring units (pressure gauge, relay, automation unit, etc.).
It is also possible to have a hydraulic accumulator (softens the hydraulic shock at the time of start-up and increases the service life).
The equipment is connected to the facility’s water supply system. If the network parameters reach unacceptable values, the pump starts and the pressure gradually increases to the required level. The pressure increases due to the rotation of the impeller. In this case, both continuous operation and switching on as needed are possible. Pressure boosting pumps are also used to supply water from wells, wells, open reservoirs, and reservoirs.
Types and features of pressure boosting pumps
Pressure booster pumps are available with a “wet” or “dry” rotor. The former are more compact and do not make as much noise. They don't require service, since the lubrication of the rubbing parts is carried out by the pumped liquid. The disadvantage is low performance. Equipment with a “dry” rotor have their own air cooling system. The devices are characterized by increased efficiency and can be used for several water collection points at once. The downsides are noise and the need for regular maintenance.
In addition to the above, pressure booster pumps differ in the type of control. The device can be started manually in the event of a drop in pressure or turned on automatically. In the latter case, operating comfort increases significantly.
The JILEX company sells two types of pressure booster pumps:
- Superficial. They are launched manually, and when retrofitted - automatically. Effectively combine the advantages of centrifugal and self-priming equipment.
- Automatic pressure booster pumps. The increase in pressure power in the system occurs without user intervention. A special automation unit is responsible for this. Factory relay settings are optimal for shut-off valves and household appliances. The package may include a horizontal hydraulic accumulator with a volume of 14–50 liters.
It starts up very smoothly, there is a function for changing the pressure, and all you have to do is press one button, very cool. It protects itself from dry running and unnecessary loads, so it does not require attention to itself.
Minuses
With such power, I immediately thought that it would make noise and, unfortunately, my expectations were justified. I also didn’t really like the price, I think it could have been made lower, after all, ours is a domestic device.
Review
For people who want to buy a pump so that it pumps water and does not make itself felt, this is one of the best options. Because the pump is reliable and usually works for many years without breakdowns, including mine, and pumps water powerfully that even sometimes in small villages I install it in common system to increase pressure. It’s really surprising, but I had a chance to see it with my own eyes a couple of times.
It comes with almost everything, the only thing is to buy a check valve and pipes. I set the pressure to 3 bars in the settings and it was enough, you could even go to 4, but that’s too much. I rarely watch him, except for the noise he doesn’t even let me know about himself, but sometimes I still check the information that he himself displays on the display. I was even surprised at first that it was made in Russia, I thought domestic ones were far behind foreign competitors, but then I used them and realized that they were actually coming close and there was no point in overpaying even more. And if it suddenly breaks down, I think all the spare parts will be found without any problems.
