IMPORTANT FACTS - READ BEFORE COMMENCING PUMP INSTALLATION
4.1
Water Temperature
The water entering the pump must be controlled as follows:
• The maximum allowable water temperature is 23 °C.
• The minimum allowable water temperature is 4 °C.
4.2
Pipework – General
Secure pipework: Ensure pipework to and from pump is independently supported
& clipped to prevent forces being transferred to inlet and outlet branches of
pump.
Pipework design: Care should be taken in the design of pipework runs to minimise
the risk of air locks e.g. use drawn bends rather than 90° bends.
Anti vibration hoses to be installed straight, with no more than 30° bends.
Water flow: An un-assisted flow rate of at least 0.6 l/min is required through the
outlets to be pumped for the pump to operate.
Flux: Solder joints must be completed and flux residues removed prior to pump
installation (flux damage will void any warranty).
• DO NOT introduce solder flux to anti-vibration hoses, pump or
pump parts.
• DO NOT allow contact with oil or cellulose based paints, paint
thinners or strippers, acid based descalents or aggressive
cleaning agents.
4.3
