Pump Liquid & Operating Conditions
Brit Therm™ pumps require clean, thin, non-aggressive liquids to operate
correctly and prevent damage to their internal components. The liquids used
must not contain any solid praticles, fibres or mineral oil.
Liquids running through circulation pumps used on heating systems must comply
with the accepted standards of quality especially in domestic applications.
Liquids that do not comply will void the warranty offered with the circulation
pump.

Installation and Attention
- Before the installation, please make sure all pipe system is well connected, and free of inclusions, welding spatter and dirt; electrical frequency 50Hz, voltage single phase 220V, voltage fluctuation between -10% – +6%.
- The pump should be installed in dry and ventilated place, in case any short circuit caused by moisture or water splash, and easy for maintenance and replacement afterwards.
- Protection cover required if installed in open air; if installed indoors, prevent from water splash in case any electric shock occurs, do not install in the bathroom, in case the vapour goes into the connection box and cause the leakage.
- After installation, connect the power and test run, switch to automatic mode and check up the starting.
- For convenience of maintenance, it is recommended to install independent shutoff valves at the inlet and outlet place.
- If long time no use, please shut off the inlet valve and cut off the electricity.
- Make sure the socket is grounding, and connect the grounder of the plug and the socket. Do not modify the grounding of the pump without approval.
- Use visible safety warning signs at the site in case any accident happens while the pump is working.
- Shut off the power if any adjustment of the location or any contact to the pump while the pump is working.
- Schedule inspection required, replace in time if there is any part out of order.
- Inspect the insulation resistance of the pump regularly, and make sure the cold state insulation resistance is no less than 50MQ.
- Use the proper cable or buy the proper assembly to replace if there is any cable break down.
- When the temperature is below 0°C, please discharge all the water from the pipe to avoid frost crack of the pump body if the pump is not in use.
- The pump could be stopped automatically because of the water quality (like water incrustation, inclusion) or other causes. Please check up the motor and make sure it is not hot.
- Do not install the faucet at the pump suction side, or it may cause water backflow or air inflow into the pipe work, that are bad for pump performance.
- Do not install the pump at the boiler discharging side. Hot water is bad for booster pump life.
- Keep the inlet pressure higher than 0.01MPa but lower than 0.6MPa.
Pump Installation
Keep the motor shaft horizontally during installation; the flow direction should follow the arrow directi on marked on the pump body.
The top discharging point (tap or shower head) must be at least | meter below
the water level in the tank.
Discharge the Air Before Installation
Discharge the air properly to make sure the pumps working best after installation or maintenance. Do not let the water get into the connection box or the socket in case any electrical failure caused.
