4.1. PUMP INSTALLATION IN THE RESTING
POSITION (TANKS):
- The pump can be installed on the flat botton surface
of a tank with a fix or raising strainer (fig.1.1/fig.1.2),
so that abrasive matter is not lifted by the pump. Do
not place a foot valve or not return valve on the
suction or directly on the outlet of the pump (non
return valve must be installed above the tank or
after).
4.2. PUMP INSTALLATION :
- The pump can’t be held suspended. The pump must
be rested on the flat botton surface (fig.1.1/ fig 1.2).
- Tighten the threaded pipe joints firmly to avoid
loosening during operation.
- When a plastic or flexible delivery pipe is used, a
nylon safety rope or chain should be utilized for
lowering, securing and raising the pump.
- Attach the power supply cable to the delivery pipe
and to the safety rope with cable clamps at intervals
of about 3 m.
- The power cable should not be taut. It must allow a
certain degree of slackness between the clamps to
avoid the risk of strain caused by expansion of the
pipe during operation.
- Protect the electric power cable from contact with
the well wall to prevent damage.
WARNING: It is advisable to install a gate valve at the
pump output to avoid deposition and a check valve
easily reachable to allow easy pump removal in
cleaning and maintenance operations.
-Do not place a foot valve or not return valve on the
suction or directly on the outlet of the pump (non
return valve must be installed above the tank or
after).
- Single phase pumps can be supplied with a float
switch that watches the water level avoiding drops
below the suction strainer.
- For pumps without floatswitch or three-phase
pumps we recommend the installation of a control
box with a water level protector and its electrodes.
