FOREWORD The purpose of this instruction manual s to ease as much as possible the installation, operation and servicing of AQUAFIT monobloc centrifugal pumps. We strongly recommend to read it attentively and to consult it whenever work is done on the pump.
Typical performances refer to continuous duty with clear water (specific weight: 1,000 kg/m3) with a manometric suction head of 2 meters if not otherwise specified. For higher heads, please contact MARELLI to check for the pump best suited to the service. Pump nameplate reports the following data:...
1.3 Noise levels The following table reports the noise level produced by AQUAFIT pumps running within their operating limits and installed according to the instructions given in this manual. (Average values measured at 1 meter from the pump and elaborated according to ISO curve A – standard R1680.
1.2. Recommended operational limits must be strictly observed. In case of applications not specified on this manual, please contact MARELLI to check for pump suitability, installation safety and pump life. We recommended to install the pump in a safe place.
CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION 4.1 Installation For what concerns handling and installation, please refer to section 2.1. the pump can be bolted in position through the openings in its feet or in motor feet, or fastened straight to piping (see pictures). Pipes should always be connected so to avoid any kind of stress to the pumps.
CHAPTER 5 COMMISSIONING AND START-UP 5.1 Start-up Before starting the pump it is necessary to prime it, i.e. to fill with liquid pump and suction pipe through the suited filing hole. In case of double-impeller pumps, bleed trapped air by means of the suited bleeding valve (see picture).
CHAPTER 6 MAINTENANCE 6.1 Ordinary Maintenance Once started the pump, check it as frequently as possible by means of system instrumental like pressure gauges, vacuum meters and ammeters. The pump needs normally no maintenance, except a periodical check for: Absorbed power, suction head and final pressure. Mechanical seal operation (there should be no leaks).
CHAPTER 7 FAULT FINDING PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY 1.1 PUMP AND SUCTION PIPE NOT PRIME AGAIN PUMP AND WELL PRIMED, WITH AIR TRAPPED SUCTION PIPE. IN THE SYSTEM. 1.2 AIR ENTER THE SYSTEM THROUGH SUCTION PIPE OPEN CORRECT INSTALLATION. TAPS. THE PUMP GIVEN NO 1.3 SUCTION HEAD TOO HIGH.

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY 4.1 PUMP PERFORMANCES ARE DELIVERY GATE VALVE DIFFERENT THAN RATED. PARTIALLY CLOSED.. PUMP NOT SUITED TO THE 4.2 LIQUID SG HIGHER THAN SERVICE OR DELIVERY GATE EXCESSIVE BREAK SPECIFIED. VALVE PATIALLY CLOSED. POWER 4.3 ABNORMAL INTERNAL RUBBING REPAIR THE PUMP, SEE CHAP.
CHAPTER 8 REPAIRING THE PUMP Before disassembling the pump Switch off line voltage. Close suction and delivery gate valves. Leave the pump cool off line in case warm liquid has been pumped. Drain the pump through the suited draining hole (see picture). Removing the pump from installation Full remove from the installation: Remove bolts from suction and delivery flanges.
CHAPTER 9 SPARE PARTS 9.1 Spare parts ordering For a faster processing of your order, when ordering spare parts please specify: Pump type Pump serial number Part name and number as listed on sectional drawing Pump type and serial number are ar easily found on pump nameplate.
