Product Usage Instructions
-
Preparation:
Before using the hydrostatic test pump, ensure that all connections are secure and there are no leaks in the system. -
Filling the Pump:
Fill the pump with water or the appropriate testing fluid as per your requirements, ensuring not to exceed the maximum PSI limit for the specific model. -
Pump Operation:
Turn on the pump and gradually increase the pressure to the desired level using the pump controls. Monitor the pressure gauge to ensure it stays within the safe operating range. -
Testing:
Use the hydrostatic test pump to pressurize and test the system or component according to the testing standards and procedures relevant to your application. -
Pressure Release:
After testing is complete, release the pressure gradually using the pump controls and ensure all pressure is relieved before disconnecting any components.
FAQ
-
Q: What should I do if I encounter leaks during testing?
A: If leaks are detected, stop the test immediately, release pressure, and inspect the system for any damaged components or loose connections. Rectify any issues before retesting. -
Q: Can I use a different fluid other than water for testing?
A: It is recommended to use fluids approved for hydrostatic testing to ensure accurate results and prevent damage to the pump.

Siphon Method
Fill the water line to be tested using a filtered input hose. Fill the pump’s intake hose. Place the intake hose into the source. Pump until water comes out of the outlet with little or no air. Connect the output hose to the water line. Bring the line to pressure by pumping the handle. Watch the gauge while pumping. Close the valve 90 degrees while nearing the test pressure. Shut the valve completely after reaching the test pressure.
City Water Method:
Verify the pump’s ball valve is shut. Connect the output hose to the water
line being tested. Connect the input hose to city water. Open the pump’s ball
valve and turn on the water. Bring the line to pressure by pumping the handle.
Watch the gauge while pumping. Close the valve 90 degrees while nearing the
test pressure. Shut the valve completely after reaching the test pressure.
Dropping pressure indicates a leak in the line.
Note: This pump is designed for water only. If the pump does not build up pressure and water is coming out of the relief valve, try the following: Close the valve and pump the handle quickly. Take care not to spike the gauge. Continue pumping until pressure increases without water coming out of the relief valve. The pumping action should unstick the relief valve ball.
Maintenance
Periodically clean the Screen and O-Ring. Remove the piston and lightly coat the internal O-ring with food-grade grease before reinstalling.
