4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is critical for the performance and safety of your domestic waterworks. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified professional.
4.1. Location Selection
- Choose a dry, frost-free, and well-ventilated location.
- Ensure the surface is stable and level to prevent vibrations.
- Keep the pump as close as possible to the water source to minimize suction lift.
4.2. Plumbing Connections
- Suction Line: Connect a suction hose (minimum 1" diameter) to the suction port (IG 30.93 mm / 1"). Ensure the suction line is airtight to prevent air ingress, which can impair pump performance. Use a foot valve with a filter at the end of the suction line in the water source.
- Pressure Line: Connect the pressure line to the pressure port (IG 30.93 mm / 1"). Use appropriate fittings and sealants to ensure leak-free connections.
- Priming: Before initial operation, the pump housing and suction line must be completely filled with water through the priming port until water overflows. This is crucial for self-priming.
4.3. Electrical Connection
- Connect the pump to a grounded electrical outlet (230 V~, 50 Hz) with appropriate circuit protection.
- Ensure the power cable is not damaged or pinched.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Initial Start-up
- Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and leak-free.
- Completely fill the pump housing and suction line with water.
- Open a tap in your domestic water system to allow air to escape.
- Connect the pump to the power supply. The pump will start and build pressure.
- Once water flows steadily from the tap and no more air bubbles are visible, close the tap. The pump will continue to run until the pressure tank is filled and the cut-off pressure is reached, then it will switch off automatically.
5.2. Normal Operation
- The domestic waterworks will automatically switch on when water is drawn (e.g., by opening a tap) and the pressure drops below the cut-in pressure.
- It will switch off automatically when the water drawing stops and the cut-off pressure is reached.
- The large 50-liter tank ensures a reduced start-up frequency, contributing to energy efficiency and quieter operation.
5.3. Dry-Run Protection (TLS)
The integrated dry-run protection system will automatically shut down the pump if it detects a lack of water in the suction line. This prevents damage to the pump. If the pump shuts down due to dry-run protection, check the water source and refill the pump if necessary before restarting.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your T.I.P. Domestic Waterworks.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all connections for leaks and ensure the power cable is intact.
- Filter Cleaning: If a pre-filter is installed on the suction line, clean it regularly to prevent clogging and maintain flow rate.
- Pressure Tank Air Pressure: The air pressure in the pressure tank should be checked annually and adjusted if necessary. Disconnect the pump from power and drain the tank before checking. The pre-charge pressure is typically around 1.5 - 2.0 bar (refer to specifications for exact value).
- Winterization: If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures, it must be completely drained and stored in a frost-free location during winter to prevent damage from freezing water.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For problems not listed here, please contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start. | No power supply; thermal overload protection activated; dry-run protection activated; motor fault. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Allow pump to cool down. Check water source and prime pump. Contact service if motor fault suspected. |
| Pump runs but no water is delivered or pressure is low. | Pump not primed; air in suction line; suction line clogged or leaking; water source empty; excessive suction height. | Prime the pump. Check all suction line connections for leaks. Clean suction filter. Ensure sufficient water in source. Reduce suction height if possible. |
| Pump switches on and off frequently. | Pressure tank air pressure too low; small leak in system; check valve faulty. | Check and adjust air pressure in the pressure tank. Inspect all pipes and fittings for leaks. Check or replace check valve. |
| Unusual noise or vibration. | Air in pump; foreign object in pump; loose mounting. | Prime the pump. Disconnect power and inspect pump impeller for obstructions (if safe to do so). Secure pump mounting bolts. |

8.1. Flow Rate vs. Delivery Head
The actual flow rate of the pump depends significantly on the delivery head (the total height difference between the water surface and the point of water discharge). The following table illustrates the performance of the HWW 1300/50 Plus TLS at various delivery heads:
| Delivery Head (m) | Flow Rate (l/min) | Flow Rate (m³/h) |
|---|---|---|
| 42 m | 18 l/min | 1.1 m³/h |
| 40 m | 20 l/min | 1.2 m³/h |
| 30 m | 42 l/min | 2.5 m³/h |
| 20 m | 52 l/min | 3.1 m³/h |
| 10 m | 63 l/min | 3.8 m³/h |
