Installation and Setup

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your TRUPER HIDR-1/2X24 system. Follow these recommendations:

• Location: Install the pump in covered locations to protect it from the elements.
• Environment: Ensure the installation area is dry and well-ventilated. The ambient temperature should not exceed 40° C (104° F).
• Priming: Completely fill the pump with clean water before turning it on for the first time. This is essential to prevent dry running and damage.
• Positioning: Place the pump horizontally on a flat, stable surface.
• Securing: Secure the unit to the surface using screws through the designated mounting supports to prevent movement and vibration.
• Leak Check: Before installation, correct any leaks or drips in faucets, pipes, and toilet fittings in your water system. This ensures efficient operation of the hydropneumatic system.

Operation

The TRUPER HIDR-1/2X24 system operates by drawing water from a supply tank or cistern and then increasing its pressure to deliver a constant flow throughout your plumbing system.

Two diagrams: one showing the operational flow of the pump system, drawing water from a cistern and increasing pressure for distribution, and another showing a performance curve graph plotting height (m) against flow (L/min), indicating recommended use and the performance of the HIDR-1/2X24 model.

Once properly installed and primed, the pump will automatically activate when water pressure drops below a set point and deactivate when the desired pressure is reached, ensuring a consistent water supply.

Performance Curve

The performance curve illustrates the relationship between the height (head) the pump can lift water and the flow rate it can deliver. For optimal selection and understanding of your system's capabilities, refer to the provided performance curve to compare the height and flow rate for the HIDR-1/2X24 model.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your hydropneumatic pump system. Key maintenance tasks include:

• Air Pressure Check: Periodically check the air pressure in the tank's air sensor. If the pump starts cycling rapidly (turning on for a few seconds and then off), it may indicate low air pressure in the tank.
• Recharging Air Pressure: To recharge the air pressure, first turn off the pump and drain all water from the system. Then, use an air pump with a manometer to inflate the tank's air valve to the recommended PSI (e.g., 28-30 PSI, as per specific instructions or troubleshooting guides).
• Diaphragm Inspection: If, when checking the air valve, water comes out instead of air, it indicates a ruptured diaphragm. While replacement can be done, it may require professional assistance or detailed instructions.
• Water Quality: Maintain the quality of water in your supply tank or cistern. Regular cleaning of the tank, use of polyphosphate, and filters (both inlet and outlet) can help reduce scale buildup and protect the pump components.
