Pump Installation Environment Requirements

The water pump should not be installed in sooded conditions. When installed outdoors, ensure to protect against sun and rain.

The pump should be installed in a convenient area so as to allow for maintenance and inspection of the pump. The place should be kept dry and well ventilated.

Ambient temperature allowable is -15°C to + 40°C. When temperature is below 0 4 C, the water pump and the pipeline in the water will form ice causing the pump body and pipe to rupture.

It is important to install a drainage line so as to drain the water caused by the leakage.

Piping Requirements
The piping size should match pump inlet and outlet and shall not be less than the outlet piping diameter.

Select the pipes matching with the pump inlet & outlet and the inl e t dia m e t e r shal l no t less than the outlet diameter.
Piping Requirements

  • For first time use, fill priming port with water in order to bleed air

Before running the pump, empty air and fill water inside the pump body, tighten the defiated bolt
Piping Requirements

Setting the Requirements
The pressure setting should not be less than the pressure of the outlet piping itself. The starting pressure value is set to about 80% of the constant pressure value.

WARNING
During transport and installation of the pump, avoid carrying the pump using the power cord, else electric shock due to power cord damage may occur.Piping Requirements

WARNING
When the pump is in operation and needs to be moved, turn off the power first to avoid electric shock.
Piping Requirements

INSTALLATION & CONNECTION

Before installing the water pump, check that the model and spare parts of the water pump are consistent with the purchase order

Pump Location

Pipe Installation

It is recommended to install isolation valves on both sides of the pump, so that the system will not be drained during pump maintenance. If the pump is installed above the water level, a foot valve must be installed on the suction pipe under the liquid level. The correct pipe size should be selected according to the inlet pressure of the pump.

Pipe Installation

WARNING
Do not put the weight of the piping on the pump, else deformation will occur. When installing the inlet pipe, prevent air from being drawn in.

Pump Installation
  • Pump should be installed in well ventilated cool place and away from directsunlight for effective air flow around the cooling fan of the motor, ensure the pump is atleast 150mm away from obstacles.
  • In order to minimize the inlet friction loss, the inlet pipe should be as short as possible.
  • Before pump installation check that pipe system has check valve fixed to prevent water backflow.
  • Pump should be installed on a rigid and level ground.
  • Before pump installation, inlet pipes should be clean, and if need be a screen filter may be installed infront of the inlet 0.5 ~ 1 m.
  • When installing the inlet pipe, ensure that air is not trapped inside.
  • When pump is installed above water level (within allowable suction head), the suction pipe should be fitted with a foot valve to maintain prime.
Electrical Connections

WARNING
The connection of the electrical circuit must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with local regulations. 

  • Ensure that the motor lead wire is connected to the power supply in accordance to the wiring diagram provided in the terminal box and motor nameplate.
  • The motor must be connected to power supply through appropriately sized fuse or breaker.

WARNING
Before removing the motor terminal box cover and disconnecting the pump, make sure that the power supply has been switched off.

Pump Connection

  • Pump should be reliably grounded to prevent leakage, and should match the leakage protection switch; Electrical connections and protection should be performed accordingly; Working voltage is marked on the nameplate, ensure the supply power is matched with the motor power.
