    For more detailed information about your device, please refer to the product brochure and, if necessary, contact our Customer Hotline at 444 0 128 to reach ALARKO CARRIER dealer and after-sales services. After commissioning the water booster, our authorized dealers and services will provide you with the necessary information regarding the use and maintenance of the water booster.

  • Page 7: General Warnings

    GENERAL WARNINGS Do not touch any part of your device or its settings for any reason, such as operating, adjusting, or maintaining it, except as described in this manual. The electrical connection of the installation must be disconnected before any intervention on the device for the purpose of cleaning, repair or maintenance.

  • Page 8: Warranty And Service

    ALARKO CARRIER where you purchased the water booster, and signed by you. Then one copy will be given to you and the other copy will be sent to ALARKO CARRIER Customer Service Department. You must maintain and keep your Warranty Certificate handy in order to show it to the authorized service personnel to carry out the warranty procedures during the service operations.

  • Page 9: General Features

    GENERAL FEATURES The main purpose of a water booster is to keep the pressurized water in the installation ready for use at any time. There are three main parts in a water booster. - Motor and Pump (Motopump) - Automatic Control Equipment: - Pressure Compensating Tank (must be purchased separately) Motopump: It pressurizes water.

  • Page 10: Installation Rules

    INSTALLATION RULES Location Selection: The place where the water booster will work should be closed in such a way that it is protected from external factors such as rain and frost. It should be placed in such a way that it is not affected by heat sources such as burners and boilers that may be present in the vicinity.
  • Page 11 The recommended assembly patterns are shown in the diagrams attached to this manual. Precautions to Extend the Service Life of Mechanical Seal: The mechanical seal is one of the most sensitive parts in the water booster. Inaccuracies or inadequacies in the installation and operating conditions cause the shaft seal to break down rapidly.

  • Page 12: Water Booster Operation

    WATER BOOSTER OPERATION 1- Check the compatibility of the water and electrical installation. 2- Check that there is sufficient water in the water tank. 3- Check that the waterless running protection (if any) is properly installed. (See page 21 for details) 4- Check that the membrane tank has been installed correctly and that the pre-gas pressure is appropriate.

  • Page 13: Membrane Tank (Pressure Compensating Tank)

    MEMBRANE TANK (Pressure Compensating Tank) There are different applications for membrane tanks in water boosters; ALD and ALDF Water Booster: The user must use a membrane tank with the motopump assembly. The selection, installation and pressurization of this tank are described below. Note: These calculations are for finding the minimum value of the tank volume.

  • Page 14: Connection Of Membrane Tank

    CONNECTION OF MEMBRANE TANK The duty of the membrane tank is to reduce the number of switches (the number of starts and stops of the motor within 1 hour). Thus, the motopump does not need to be commissioned for small-scale uses. Therefore, the larger the tank, the lesser the number of switches.

  • Page 64: Troubleshooting Guide

    TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If the water booster is not working: a) Electricity: Check the power supply. b) Tank (For ALD and ALDF): Check that there is sufficient water in the tank. If there is no water in the tank, waterless running protection has been activated and cut off the electricity.

  • Page 65: Technical Specifications

    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS / ALD and ALDF The motors of all types are 3-phase, 380 V, 50Hz. It is possible to turn the connection type of the water boosters which have 1, 1.5, 2, 3 or 4 HP motors to triangle and to operate in single phase network with the addition of suitable capacitor.
