  • Page 5: Constant Pressure

    Handbook Applications Constant Pressure System: In constant water pressure systems, only the required discharge pressure needs setting. Cut-in / out pressures do not play a role in this system. In Grundfos’s BMQE constant water pressure system (EZ Boost), this is done by a simple touch of a button on the accompanying CU 301 control unit. Discharge pressure can be set from 40 to 100PSI, according to individual needs and piping system limitations. Time Flow Based Pressure Boosting: The pump starts automatically when water is consumed and stops automatically when the consumption ceases. This is accomplished by a flow switch connected to a printed circuit board (PCB). The flow switch is closed when water is consumed and the signal sent to the PCB starts the pump. The flow switch is opened when the con- sumption ceases and the signal sent to the PCB stops the pump. The pump will produce pressure in relation to the flow rate with any incoming pressure cumulative to the total discharge pressure. Incoming PSI = City Water Pressure Outgoing PSI = Incoming PSI + MQ Performance...

    Pump Selections: EZ Boost: Constant Pressure at the touch of a button. The EZ Boost uses the time tested technology used in the SQE constant pressure system (submersible application). The MSE 3 motors are based on solid state electronics and permanent magnet rotors which account for high motor efficiencies. Variable speed is offered though frequency control via the CU301 remote status box. The System can be set to operate at any duty point in the range between minimum and maximum performance of the pump. The EZ Boost has built in safeties in the solid state electronics. The small footprint of the pump allows the system to be positioned either vertically or horizon- tally depending on the needs of the application. Refer to the EZ Boost installation video on our web site www.grundfos.us MQ: Maximum Quality Flow Based Pressure Boosting System: The MQ is a complete, all-in-one unit, incorporating pump, motor, diaphragm tank, pressure and flow sensor, controller and check valve. Built in safeties ensure long life of the pump. These safeties include: dry running; excessive temperature; any overload conditions. The MQ is a self priming pump and needs no priming other than that at installation. The MQ is a plug- n-play system. Basic Line: Durable and dependable Basic Line Jets. Grundfos offers shallow well, deep well, and convertible jet pumps. Our jets are self-priming centrifugal pumps suitable for domestic water supply, light agriculture, and industrial water transfer applications. Three models include: JPS; JPF; JDF. The...

    Theory: Matching consumption and pump capacity: Selecting the right pump is a matter of matching water c onsumption with pump capacity. Installing an under or oversized pump should be avoided. Consumption varies greatly d epending on housing standards and lifestyle. Garden watering in the summer can increase consumption. Pump Selection: Pump selection is based on the water demand and the system h ead. The water demand depends on the number of consumers connected to the system. Head can either be expressed in feet or P SI. Head refers to static head, pressure head, and friction head. For assistance in Pump Selection refer to the WebCAPS selection p rogram found on the Grundfos web site. Piping: In any water supply system, the sizing and choice of materials of t he pipe work has an impact on the choice of pumps and on the cost. Piping takes into account the system head as referred to in P ump Selection. Static head is the distance from the ground water level to the uppermost tap. Pressure head is the system p ressure the customer wants to achieve. I n most residential application this pressure is approximately 60PSI. Friction head depends on the pipe size, type and length. When calculating friction loss always remember to allow for deterioration in the piping schematic as all water pipes will eventually become coated with rust, lime deposits, etc. Flow velocity in the piping must be kept low as noise can occur due to turbulence in elbows and valves or from water hammer. Fitting a pressure relief valve in the discharge...

    Handbook Troubleshooting Troubleshooting: Suction Lift: When installing above ground suction lift pumps, the following basic rules must be adhered to: • Avoid frost. • Pump only clean water. • Install a filter if water contains impurities. • A foot-valve must be installed. • The suction pipe must be 100% air tight. • The pump must be primed before starting for the first time. Fault Cause Remedy a) The pump and suction pipe Fill the pump and pipe with work need to be primed. water. 1. The pump is running but there is no pressure. Check all connections and the b) The suction pipe is not 100% tight.

Pressure Tanks: Keep the following tips in mind, when dealing with installations using pressure tanks: • Stop the pump and open a valve to relieve the water pressure before checking the pre-charge pressure of the tank. • For traditional on/off controlled pumps, the pre-charge pressure should equal the cut-in pressure multiplied by 0.9. Installation note: You should always consult the Instruction and Operation manual for each specific pump during installation and start. WebCAPS: Find detailed information via the Grundfos website.
