2. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your WASSERMANN water pressure pump. Follow these steps carefully:

2.1 Pre-Installation Checks

• Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface. The pump features stable rubber feet to minimize vibration and noise.
• Verify that the power source matches the pump's voltage requirements (115 Volts AC).
• Confirm that all necessary fittings and hoses are clean and free of debris.

2.2 Connecting the Strainer and Hoses

1. Install the Strainer: Firmly tighten the included 50-mesh stainless steel strainer to the inlet port of the pump. This strainer is essential for filtering out impurities and debris from the water, protecting the pump's internal components.
2. Attach Barbed Hose Adapters: Install the barbed hose adapters to the threaded NPSM ports on the pump. Use the included PTFE (Teflon) tape on the threads to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Connect Hoses: Securely attach your water hoses to the barbed hose adapters. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

3. Operating Instructions

The WASSERMANN pump is designed for straightforward operation with an automatic pressure switch.

3.1 Initial Start-up

• Ensure all connections are secure and the pump is properly positioned.
• Connect the pump to a 115V AC power outlet. The pump will automatically prime itself.
• Open the water outlet (faucet, nozzle, etc.) to allow water to flow. The pump will start automatically when water demand is detected and shut off when the demand ceases.

3.2 Pressure Adjustment

The pump features an automatic pressure switch with a standard pressure value of 60 PSI. If adjustment is needed:

1. Locate the red rubber sleeve in the center of the pressure switch and open it.
2. Use a pressure regulator needle (or a small flat-head screwdriver) to adjust the pressure.
3. Turning clockwise will increase the pressure; turning counter-clockwise will decrease the pressure.

3.3 Compatible Liquids

This pump is designed to handle various liquids:

• Fresh Water
• Drinking Water
• Low Salinity Liquid
• Weakly Acidic Liquid

Warning: DO NOT PUMP FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS such as gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your WASSERMANN pump.

4.1 Strainer Cleaning

The 50-mesh stainless steel strainer at the pump's inlet should be periodically inspected and cleaned, especially if you notice a decrease in water flow or pressure. The strainer can be easily removed for cleaning.

• Disconnect the pump from the power source.
• Unscrew the strainer housing.
• Remove the mesh filter and rinse it thoroughly under clean water to remove any accumulated debris.
• Reassemble the strainer, ensuring all seals are properly seated before reattaching it to the pump.

4.2 General Care

• Keep the pump in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
• Protect the pump from freezing temperatures, which can cause damage.
• Regularly check all hose connections for leaks and tighten as necessary.
