Pump Technology Ltd is pleased to announce the launch of the Hebefix Pro, the latest grey water lifting station from Pentair Jung Pumpen, available from May 2025. This new model replaces the Hebefix Plus and Hebefix Extra, combining the proven advantages of both into one compact, versatile unit.

Designed for faeces-free waste water disposal, the Hebefix Pro provides a reliable solution in situations where a conventional waste water pipe is not nearby. It’s ideal for use in bathrooms, kitchens, utility areas, or wherever additional drainage is required—above or below the backflow level.

Multitasking in Waste Water Management

The Hebefix Pro connects easily to a wide range of grey water sources including:

• Showers

• Baths

• Washbasins

• Sinks

• Dishwashers

• Washing machines

In addition, it can handle aggressive waste water with up to 15% salt content, making it suitable for condensate from gas condensing boilers, pellet systems, and water softeners.

Flexible Installation

Thanks to its shallow tank depth, the Hebefix Pro fits effortlessly into standard pre-wall installations, while its sleek design also allows for visible installation under washbasins. The unit pumps waste water through a small-diameter pressure pipe (left or right outlet) to the nearest downpipe—offering flexibility during installation.

Smart Features

The Hebefix Pro is equipped with:

• An integrated alarm unit with reed contact switch for high-water alerts

• A potential-free contact for remote alarm transmission

• A built-in U3KS Spezial pump

• Fully automatic operation, activated on water inflow

• Plug-and-play setup with standard Schuko socket

A Complete Solution for Grey Water Disposal

With its robust performance, versatile applications, and compact design, the Hebefix Pro sets a new standard in grey water lifting technology. It is fully compliant with EN 12050 and meets the high standards required for both residential and commercial environments.

Two products in the Jung Pumpen range that are particularly suited to this environment are the Jung Pumpen JP09264 (US73 HES) and the Jung Pumpen JP00678 (US73 ES) wastewater pumps. These pumps are the industry benchmark for commercial pumping applications. These include catering kitchens, office canteens, laundry’s and boiler hot water system discharges. The HES version is especially suitable in such circumstances since it is capable of pumping continuously at 90°C.

Jung Pumpen JP09264 US73 HES Hot Water Version:

This is particularly suited for hot wastewater requirements due to its Class F insulated motor windings. While other small submersible pumps are generally only rated for continuous operation up to 35°C (occasionally 60°C), the US73 HES is rated for continuous operation at 90°C. This ensures reliability and long life for challenging applications such as dishwashers, pasta boilers, combi ovens, zip taps, laundries and more.

Our hot water DrainMajor product the DrainMajor 730/1030 can be  powered by the Jung Pumpen US73HES (or the US103HES), it is our leading product for hot water commercial environments.

Jung Pumpen JP00678 US73 ES

The Jung Pumpen US73 pumps are fitted with a free flow vortex impeller making them suitable for pumping wastewater up to a 10 meters head, even when this contains soft solids and fibrous material up to 30mm in particle size in suspension.

If an automated pumping system is required, US73 pumps can be installed in a floor mounted DrainMajor wastewater pumping system. Operation is triggered by the unique, large, triangular, low level float mounted on a rigid float arm, external to the pump body. This design ensures that the system is not affected by wastewater inflow or debris within the DrainMajor collecting tank.

The robust construction of the US73 range features a Stainless-Steel motor housing, Cast Iron pump housing and SiCV mechanical seal on the medium side, with oil chamber and duplex rotary shaft seals on the motor side to ensure reliable, efficient and long-lasting service.

As the Uk’s largest authorised Jung Pumpen stockist, our experienced team can advise you on the US73 pump options as well as the entire Jung Pumpen range. The US73, US73 HES and the DrainMajor range are in stock for next day delivery.

We received a lovely letter from Rainforest Trust this morning that we wanted to share with you:

Dear Pump Technology,

Last week, thanks to the extraordinary generosity and commitment of donors such as yourself, a large expanse of unprotected mangroves at the mouth of the Amazon was formally protected — just one year after the project was launched! Working in partnership with RARE Brazil, this project marks the first legally protected area in the Amazon to be created with Rainforest Trust support.

The over 180,000 acres of the Amazon Estuary now safeguarded are a critical part of the largest continuous belt of mangroves in the world. It provides a unique refuge and nursing environment for marine and coastal species facing extinction, like Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Black Rail, a tiny, elusive marsh bird, and the American Manatee. Rainforest Trust and RARE Brazil were able to safeguard 7% more of this astounding estuary than originally planned.

This is a stunning win for the Amazon, for the traditional fishing communities of this region and for sustainable fisheries, and for the climate. We could not have done it without you!

President Lula of Brazil’s signing of the decrees that successfully complete our Amazon Estuary project is cause for celebration, as announced in this article on the Brazilian government’s website.

In addition to the rare, threatened species protected here, the estuary is a priority area for the conservation of migratory birds, and it is also an important habitat for species such as swamp ghost crab, white shrimp, mussels, mollusks and oysters. The region is an important source of food and livelihoods for over 10,000 people in traditional coastal communities on the Amazon coast. The new federal designation will enable local communities to co-manage the reserves, defending their rich marine biodiversity from multiple threats of coastal development.

This project was the first to be funded in part by our Brazilian Amazon Fund, created in 2023 to permanently safeguard 20 million acres in Brazil over the next four years. Another cause for celebration!

Thank you for defending Brazilian coastal ecosystems through your financial support! We look forward to continuing our work together in Brazil and around the world to safeguard fragile ecosystems, species and communities, and to keep carbon stored for a healthier planet.

With gratitude
James Lewis
