Review on Borehole pump Aquarius BTsPE 0.5-40U (720 W) by Wiktor Getka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

After the Gileks Water Cannons, the impression is very good. Aquarius has been working for 3 years without problems. Many times the water in the well ran out and worked dry. True, there is protection against dry running in current, but it did not always work, and not immediately (at least a few minutes). After several times, I already keep a spare Gilex with a replacement float, I thought this one was about to burn out so I could quickly replace it. But by no means. It has been working since then for another year and a half and continues to this day. Moreover, the entire service life works for 2 houses. Now I regret that I again took Gileks as a replacement. But, unfortunately, there were no Aquarius with a float. I am ating the review in March 2022. The pump still works without problems, i. E. already 5-6 years. What are the Gileks! No matter how the manufacturer assures by phone that the Chinese motors used in them have passed all the necessary tests and have the proper resource, I'm sorry, I experienced everything with them from my own experience. Under the same operating conditions, at least 3 Gileks burned out over the same period. Moreover, the motors burned out, i. E. repairs are unprofitable. Yes, even if it were cost-effective, these are the labor costs for replacing in the well, downtime, delivery for repairs, etc. I'd rather pay a little more for electricity. In general, I express my gratitude to the manufacturer Vodoley for such a ratio of price and quality and I hope that the quality at the moment is at the same level, which will continue in the future. Let the price be a little higher, but quality should not be allowed to drop.

Pros
  • Tolerates dry running well
Cons
  • It feels like the water pressure characteristics are worse than similar Gilex models. Also, with the same characteristics, it consumes more electricity. UPS for 1 kW does not pull it, although similar Gileks pulled. Well, this one is noisier. However, all this is not a significant drawback for me, because. everything is more than offset by its reliability and resistance to prolonged dry running.
