7 best pumps to increase water pressure

All owners of private houses had to solve the problem of water supply. The most modern option is the use of pumps that increase the pressure of water. They crash into the existing highway, replenishing water supplies with minimal human involvement. There are many different models of imported and domestic production. They essentially differ in the price, dimensions and technical parameters. To choose the best unit, you should listen to the recommendations of our experts.

Top Pressure Boost Rating

1. Type of equipment. To create the necessary pressure in the water supply, you can use one of two options.
2. The most cost-effective way to be embedded in the pipeline surface pump. It can be used not only in private, but also apartment building. Among the main advantages of this option, experts note silent operation and compact size.
3. A more modern solution is the purchase of a pumping station. It consists of a surface pump, hydroaccumulator, ejector and control system. Such equipment is installed only in country houses, because the work is accompanied by serious noise. Although the price of the question is somewhat higher than when buying a pump, but the water supply system will work in automatic mode.
4. Power. All pumping installations are powered by electric motors. The higher their power, the higher the performance and longer the service life of the pump. However, the extra power is also not needed, the pump is more expensive and its electricity consumption increases. The optimal figure for home use is in the range of 500-1000 watts.
5. Water temperature. Since the owners of private houses use pumps in different highways, it is important to know at what maximum water temperature the pump can work. For inset into the plumbing with cold water will suit any model. But if you have to pump warm water, then you need to look for a pump with a working temperature of about + 60 ° C.
6. Performance (throughput). Each pump has its own throughput rate. The higher it is, the faster per unit of time the pump will pump fluids. For the organization of water supply in a private house performance should be in the range of 2-4 cu. m / h
7. Maximum head. Before going to the store, a potential buyer should calculate the value of the required pressure. To do this, the horizontal part of the water supply system is summed up and divided by 10. It is necessary to add the vertical part of the main line to the resulting number. For example, for a one-story house with a horizontal component of 20 m and a depth of 3 m, there will be enough pressure 20/10 + 3 = 5 m.

We have selected 7 best pumps to increase the water pressure. All of them are sold in stores in our country. The distribution of places was taken into account expert opinion and consumer feedback.

JELEX Jumbo 60/35 NK

Rating: 4.9

The optimal combination of technical parameters and prices has a Russian pump GILEKS Jumbo 60/35 NK. The model stands out from the competition with high power (600 W), maximum pressure (35 m) and throughput (3.6 cubic meters / h). The device is able to provide water supply system in the private sector. And the work can be easily organized automatically. The pump is designed to work with cold water (from 1 to 35 ° C), the size of the filtered particles is 8 mm. The advantages of the device include the presence of a built-in ejector, protection against overheating and dry running. The model wins in our ranking.

Users are satisfied with the ease and compactness, performance and automatic work. The disadvantages include noisy work.

Wilo PB-201EA

Rating: 4.8

The German Wilo PB-201EA pump is inferior to the winner in terms of characteristics such as cost, performance (3.3 cubic meters / h) and maximum head (15 m). At the same time, experts note the high quality of the manufacturing unit. The body of the pump is made of durable cast iron, which is protected from corrosion by means of a cataphoresis coating. The shaft of the unit is made of stainless steel, the pipes are made of bronze. The device increases the pressure by 1.3 bar, working extremely quietly. The manufacturer has provided both manual and automatic mode.

The owners of the German pump praise her for quiet operation, effective pressure increase, economical electricity consumption. The disadvantages include only the horizontal method of installation and the high price.

Grundfos UPA 15-90

Rating: 4.7

Low noise and high build quality distinguishes Danish pump Grundfos UPA 15-90. In our rating, it has become the most affordable and lightweight (2.7 kg) unit, which is best suited for home use. It is inferior to the leaders in throughput (1.5 cubic m / h), maximum head (9 m), consuming less of all electricity (120 W). The pump operates in both manual and automatic mode. The temperature of the pumped water should be in the range of + 2 ... + 60 ° С. The rotor is constantly in the water, which simultaneously cools and lubricates parts. This contributes to vibration absorption.

In their reviews, domestic users praise the pump for silent operation, simple installation, and good automation. But the performance leaves much to be desired.

Aquario AC 1512-195A

Rating: 4.6

Italian circulation pump Aquario AC 1512-195A copes with increasing water pressure in water supply systems. The model is assembled in Russia, which allowed it to become cost competitive. As for the technical parameters, the pump provides a throughput of 2.79 cu. m / h, creating a maximum pressure of 12 m. The manufacturer used the "wet" type of rotor, which favorably affected the noise level. The device is switched on automatically as soon as the tap is opened. Allowed to pump water with a temperature of +2 to + 60 ° C.

Users flatter about the quiet operation of the pump, precise work in automatic mode. It was not possible to get on the pedestal of the rating model due to a slight increase in pressure.

Top pumping stations

Pump stations help to automate water supply to the water supply system. The combination of a pump, hydroaccumulator, ejector and electronic control minimizes human involvement. Experts highly appreciated the performance of the following stations.

Grundfos MQ 3-35

Rating: 4.9

The best pumping station with automatic control in our ranking was the Danish model Grundfos MQ 3-35. The unit is completed with a self-priming pump, an ejector and a hydroaccumulator. An electronic switch is installed to control this system, which accurately monitors the water level, controlling the operation of the pump. Experts highly appreciated the quiet operation of the pumping station, good performance (3.9 cubic meters / h) with a small power consumption (850 W). The pump creates a maximum pressure of 33.8 m, the immersion depth is limited to 8 m. The pump is turned on with a minimum pressure of 2 bar.

Users are satisfied with compact size, reliability, constant maintenance of pressure in the pipeline. The only downside is the high price.

JELEX Jumbo 70/50 H-50 (stainless steel)

Rating: 4.8

High throughput (3.9 cubic meters / h), maximum head (50 m) and lift height (9 m) allowed the Russian pumping station to take second place in our rating. The model is equipped with an asynchronous electric motor, centrifugal pump, ejector and hydroaccumulator. The pump is turned on when the pressure drops below 1.4 bar, turns off the automatic pump when the pressure is raised to 2.8 bar. Experts drew attention to reliable protection against overheating and idling.

The advantages of the station users include the manufacture of critical stainless steel parts, a sealed power button, clear instructions. The aggregate failed to bypass the winner due to high noise and gasket leakage between the hydraulic accumulator and the inlet reinforced hose.

Marina CAM 80/22

Rating: 4.7

The Italian station Marina (aka Speroni) CAM 80/22 is designed to organize the water supply of country houses. The capacity (3.6 cubic meters per hour) and power (800 W) are sufficient to maintain the pressure at 2.8 bar. The pump is able to create a maximum pressure of up to 32 m, lifting water from a depth of 8 m. The built-in hydraulic tank holds 22 liters of water, the water level is controlled by automatic equipment. The manufacturer has provided protection for the motor from overheating and dry running. The experts liked the stainless steel case and low weight (12 kg). The model takes the third place in the rating.

Users appreciated the simplicity and reliability of the pumping station. The service life of many owners exceeded 10 years. Among the shortcomings often mentioned is a high level of noise, a prolonged increase in pressure with a weak current of water.
