2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza
Osservare sempre le seguenti precauzioni di sicurezza:
- Assicurarsi che l'alimentazione corrisponda al volume della pompatage and frequency (127 V - 60 Hz).
- Scollegare l'alimentazione prima di eseguire qualsiasi operazione di manutenzione o installazione.
- Non utilizzare la pompa con liquidi infiammabili.
- Proteggere la pompa dalle temperature gelide.
- In caso di dubbi, l'installazione deve essere eseguita da un professionista qualificato.
- Tenere i bambini e le persone non autorizzate lontano dalla pompa in funzione.
3. Componenti del prodotto
The Truper 13499 PRES-1/3T Pressure Booster Pump includes the main pump unit, an integrated pressure switch, and power cord with an on/off switch. Refer to the image below for a visual representation of the pump and its key components.

Figura 1: Truper 13499 PRES-1/3T Pressure Booster Pump. This image shows the complete pump assembly, including the orange motor housing, the dark gray pump body, brass fittings for water inlet and outlet, and the integrated flow switch with an arrow indicating water flow direction. The power cord with an inline on/off switch is also visible.
Componenti chiave:
- Corpo pompa: Dark gray cast iron housing for the impeller and water channels.
- Alloggiamento del motore: Orange casing protecting the electric motor.
- Inlet/Outlet Fittings: Brass threaded connections for plumbing.
- Flussostato: Orange component with an arrow, detecting water flow to activate the pump.
- Cavo di alimentazione: Electrical connection with an integrated on/off switch.
4. Configurazione e installazione
Un'installazione corretta è fondamentale per le prestazioni e la longevità della pompa.
- Posizione:
- Installare la pompa in un luogo asciutto e ben ventilato, al riparo dalla luce solare diretta, dalla pioggia e dalle temperature gelide.
- Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface to minimize vibration.
- Allow adequate space around the pump for ventilation and maintenance access.
- Collegamenti idraulici:
- Connect the pump to the water supply line using appropriate plumbing fittings. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Observe the flow direction indicated by the arrow on the flow switch (Figure 1). The pump must be installed in line with the water flow.
- Use flexible connectors to reduce vibration transmission to the plumbing system.
- Install shut-off valves on both the inlet and outlet sides of the pump for easier maintenance.
- Collegamento elettrico:
- Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and matches the pump's electrical requirements (127 V - 60 Hz).
- Plug the pump's power cord into the grounded outlet.
- Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary, and ensure they are rated for the pump's power requirements.
- Adescamento della pompa:
- Before initial operation, ensure the pump is filled with water to prevent dry running. Open a faucet downstream to allow air to escape.
- Once water flows steadily from the faucet, close it. The pump is now primed.
5. Istruzioni per l'uso
The Truper 13499 PRES-1/3T pump operates automatically based on water flow.
- Avvio iniziale:
- After installation and priming, ensure the inline switch on the power cord is in the "OFF" position.
- Collegare la pompa a una presa elettrica adeguata.
- Switch the inline power switch to the "ON" position. The pump will remain off until water flow is detected.
- Funzionamento automatico:
- When a water outlet (e.g., faucet, shower) is opened, the flow switch detects water movement.
- The pump automatically starts, boosting water pressure.
- When the water outlet is closed, the flow stops, and the pump automatically shuts off after a short delay.
- Ciclo di lavoro:
- The pump is designed for intermittent use: 50 minutes of work followed by 20 minutes of rest.
- The daily maximum operating time is 6 hours. Adhering to this duty cycle will prolong the pump's lifespan.
6. Manutenzione
Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e prolunga la durata della pompa.
- Pulizia: Periodically clean the exterior of the pump to prevent dust and debris buildup. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Connessioni: Regularly check all plumbing and electrical connections for leaks or loose fittings. Tighten as necessary.
- winterization: If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures, it must be drained and disconnected during winter months to prevent damage.
- Ispezione: Ispezionare il cavo di alimentazione per eventuali segni di danni o usura. Sostituire se necessario.
Warning: Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing any maintenance.
7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pressure booster pump.
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| La pompa non si avvia. | Nessuna alimentazione elettrica. Inline switch is OFF. No water flow detected. | Controllare la presa di corrente e l'interruttore automatico. Turn inline switch to ON. Open a water outlet to initiate flow. Ensure pump is primed. |
| La pompa funziona continuamente. | Leak in plumbing system. Flow switch malfunction. Constant low water flow. | Check all connections for leaks and repair. Rivolgersi al personale di assistenza qualificato. Ensure all outlets are fully closed. |
| Insufficient pressure boost. | Pompa non correttamente adescata. Inlet water pressure too low. Obstruction in plumbing. | Riadescare la pompa. Ensure minimum input pressure of 0.72 PSI is met. Inspect plumbing for blockages. |
| La pompa è rumorosa o vibra eccessivamente. | Aria nel sistema. Montaggio allentato. Usura dei componenti interni. | Riavviare la pompa per eliminare l'aria. Ensure pump is securely mounted on a stable surface. Rivolgersi al personale di assistenza qualificato. |
