Electrical Connection

DANGER: Danger of death caused by electric shock! Do not operate the device when surrounded with water.

Use the device only under the following conditions:

• The device shall only be connected into power inputs and protected plugs installed by a professional. It shall also be grounded and inspected.
• Both, voltage in the power source and fuse protection shall comply with the Technical Data.
• When operating in swimming pools, ponds or similar locations the device shall have a residual current not higher than 30 mA and be protected with a residual current protection device.
• When operating outdoors the device connection shall be waterproof. It shall not be into water.
• Extensions shall be long enough. Unwind completely wire spools.

Water Inlet and Outlet (Suction)

WARNING: Damage to the device! Do not operate the device with any water inside. Do not start the device when the water supply is totally closed.

Fill the device up with water after each new connection or if there was water lost or air in the system. Extended operation without filling-up with water (getting out of water with no supervision) may destroy the device.

1. Unscrew and remove the flush cap.
2. Fill-up with water completely.
3. Set back the flush cap. Verify the seal is properly set.
4. To shorten the water inlet also fill the suction line up.
5. Open the pressure line (open the male side or the nozzle) so that air can escape during the water input.
6. Connect the device.
7. When water flows constantly shut off the device.

NOTE: Install a check valve between the pump and the suction line so that the water column is aligned with the suction line.

We recommend using a suction filter to gain better suction.

When water suction is coming from a water tank set higher than the device, flushing is automatic (flushing operation requires a couple of minutes).

When water suction is coming from a cistern, it is necessary to completely flush the supply piping and the device body as explained in the previous paragraph.

It can also be necessary to fill-up the device body a couple of times regarding the length and diameter in the supply pipeline. If the device is not used for a long period of time it will be necessary to repeat all the operations described here before starting the device.

The device and the line shall be both connected and full.

WARNING: Do not let the device to get dry. There shall be enough water at all times.

If the household water line is installed directly to the distribution network is important to take note that the water pressure in that network will be added to the pump pressure. Total pressure shall not exceed 0,59 MPa (87 PSI).

NOTE: The device tank includes a factory built-in rubber bellows, air pressure (pre-filling pressure). This is to remove small water amount without starting the device.

Double-check pressure before operating the device and increase it if necessary (increasing the preliminary filling-up pressure). Do not set the device directly under the sunrays because pressure is increased in excess under some circumstances.

1. Connect the plug.
2. Open the pressure line (open the male or the water nozzle).
3. Double-check if water is flowing.

When the motor does not start or the pump has no pressure; or any other type of problem occurs, turn off the device and try to solve the problem (Troubleshooting).

The device has a built-in pressure switch. It is turned ON if pressure in the device tank is below the starting pressure due to lack of water.

The pressure switch in the devices turns OFF when gets to the closing pressure.

NOTE: The pressure switch is programed in the factory to correct the starting and closing pressure.

DANGER: Only qualified personnel may open and install the pressure switch. Disconnect the device from the power source before opening the pressure switch.

Assembly

The device shall be set onto an aligned and horizontal surface strong enough to support the device total weight when filled with water.

To prevent vibration the device shall be set onto an elastic base (support). (For example on top of a rubber mat).

For stationary use the device can be screwed to the base.

When used in garden ponds or swimming pools install the device in a safe manner preventing it is not flooded or it will not fall into the water deposit.

These additional requisites shall also be observed.

The installation site shall have good ventilation and protected from climate effects.

When operated indoors make sure there is drain in the floor or a leak prevention mechanism.

Before using the devices double-check the suction hose is sealed. Bubbles coming out of the suction hose indicate leaks and malfunction of the device.

When installing the device verify it is disconnected from the power source. Protect the device and all the pipes against bad weather or freezing. To prevent personal injuries avoid putting your hands inside the device opening when is connected to the power source.

Suction Line Connection

WARNING: The suction line shall be installed in a way it doesn't presents any mechanical force or tension in the device.

Use a check valve to prevent water from leaking out when turning off the device.

Seal all connections with twine and thick paste or with thread-sealing tape (for example Teflon tape). Leaks cause air to escape and reduce or prevent the water to flow out.

For metal pipe threads use twine. For threads made of synthetic materials use sealing tape.

All components in the suction line shall be install by a professional.

The suction pipe shall have at least 1" of inner diameter. Shall be resistant to elbow shape pipes and adequate to be used in vacuum.

The suction line shall be as short as possible. The suction capacity lowers at par with the line increment. To prevent air pockets, the suction line shall rise in a regular manner towards the device. Double-check there is enough water. The final end in the suction line shall always be inside the water.

When height is above 13,1’, use pipes with a larger diameter to prevent a possible pressure loss. The suction line shall be perfectly sealed. Avoid when possible elbow shape pipes and slopes to prevent air formations that affect the hydro pneumatic device performance. To prevent water return and loss of pressure set a check valve in the water tank output or a foot valve if the device is set in a cistern outlet. It is advisable to set a second retention check valve directly in the supply line to prevent the device to get damaged with water stroke.

A gate valve or ball valve can also be set leveled with the check valve to make the water supply flowing better. Pipes shall be fixed so that when there are vibrations, tension and weight will not affect the device. Water supply piping shall be as short and straight as possible and preventing from using elbow shape pipes or in slopes.

Pressure Line Connection

WARNING: The pressure line shall be installed using care there are no mechanical forces or tension over the device.

All the connections shall be sealed with twine or thick paste or using thread-sealing tape (for example Teflon tape). Leaks lead to air escaping and reduce or prevent water to flow out.

For metal pipe threads use twine. For threads made of synthetic materials use sealing tape.

All components in the pressure line shall be compression-proof. All components in the pressure line shall be install by a professional.

The device can also be firmly connected to the piping system (for example, indoors water supply). In this case the device shall be connected to the piping system with high-pressure flexible hose lines.

WARNING: When the components are not compression proven or are not connected properly the pressure line could burst during the operation. There is risk of injury due to the water jet.

NOTE: The device can only be used for industrial water supply, for example for toilets, washing machines, etc. Shall not be used to supply drinking water.

Use of Extension Cords

When using an extension cord, verify the gauge is enough for the power that your product needs. A lower gauge cord will cause voltage drops in the line, thus, power loss and motor overheating.

The following table shows the right size to be used depending on cord's length and the ampere capability shown in the device nameplate. If in doubt use the next higher gauge. Remember, the lower the gauge, the heavier the cord will be. Double-check the extension cord is in good shape and it has a grounded conductor.

(1) It is safe to use only if the extensions have an over current protection device.

(2) One of the conductors shall be grounded. All conductors are the same gauge including the one that is grounded.

Maintenance and Inspection

WARNING: Disconnect from the power source before carrying out any maintenance operation and the accessories are depressurized.

Only those repairs described in this manual can be carried out. Trained personnel must carry out any other job.

Use only original spare parts. Only these spare parts are designed and are adequate for the device. Any other type of spare part can endanger the user, the environment and makes the Warranty Void.

CAUTION: After each disassembling of components, all the joints shall be renewed.

Increase the Preliminary Filling Up Pressure

If with the passing of time the device starts after a light water outlet (approximately 0,5 L), the preliminary filling up pressure shall be reestablished in the device tank.

1. Disconnect the plug.
2. Open the pressure line (open the male or the water nozzle). Let the water flow out completely.
3. Unthread and remove the flush cap. The air control valve is set in the rear side of the device tank.
4. Connect the air pump or compressor into the air control valve connecting one “pressure valve” and a pressure gauge.
5. Blow up to the preliminary filling up pressure (preliminary filling up pressure: 0,17 MPa - 0, 19 MPa; 26,1 PSI - 29 PSI).
6. Connect the device and double-check the functioning.

To prevent having problems we recommend checking regularly the tank pre-loading pressure. At this point, disconnect the device from the feeding source and open the feed key to eliminate the pressure from the system. Then, Measure the pre-load pressure using the valve set in the rear side of the tank. Measure with an independent pressure gauge.

Storage

When the device is not going to be used for long periods of time (1 year) it is advisable to flush completely (open the flush cap). Remove residues with clean water and store in a dry place away from low temperatures (frost).

If there is frost warning disassemble the device and accessories, clean and store them in a place away from freezing temperatures.

CAUTION: Frost always damages the device and accessories because they contain water.

Disassembling and Storage

1. Turn OFF the device. Disconnect the plug.
2. Open the pressure line (open the male or the nozzle). Let water drain completely.
3. Drain completely the pump and the device container.
