14.3  WATER PUMPING AND STORAGE SYSTEMS 

 

LCA units may be equipped with 4 types of pumping systems, complete with expansion tank, and inertial 

storage reservoirs: 

-  single standard pump 
-  single uprated pump 

-  standard pump and back-up pump  

-  uprated pump and back-up pump. 

In the case of pump systems including a back-up pump, the microprocessor controls the pumps in such a 

way as to equally divide the hours of operation, changing over the pumps in the event of a fault.
