high-temperature washing programme) to be pumped for short periods of time. However, hot water
cannot be drained for long periods of time.
- When you expect to be away, or if the unit is for use with installations that are only
used occasionally, we recommend that you turn off the stopcocks feeding the
connected sanitary fixtures to avoid the risk of leaks.
- In areas that are at risk of frost, it is recommended that the pipes be
protected with thermal insulation, and that the whole system (drainage pipes
and lifting station) be prepared by:
- Turning off the stopcock feeding the sanitary fixtures.
- Pouring special plumbing antifreeze into connected sanitary fixtures (wash-
basins, bidets, etc.)
- The guarantee does not cover damage caused to the lifting station by freezing.
7. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS.
The Jimten lifting station has been designed to be highly reliable and to provide years of operation.
Below are listed the most common maintenance operations and there is a quick troubleshooting guide
for problems that the user can easily fix.
7.1. CLEANING.
In order to clean the sanitary fixtures connected to the lifting station, we recommend the use of any
quality cleaning product on the market, as long as it is not acid-based.
In areas that have very hard water, and with the aim of removing limescale deposits, it is recommended
that a cleaning be carried out periodically following these steps:
Disconnect the lifting station from the electrical network.
Pour a mixture of 1 litre of vinegar and 3 of water (approximately) into any of the connected sanitary
fixtures (washbasin, bidet, etc).
Let this act for a few hours.
Connect the lifting station again and activate it.
7.2. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.
Before carrying out any action, check the following points:
Check that the taps of the connected sanitary fixtures or appliances are in good condition and do not leak.
Check that the lifting station is connected at the plug, and that there is a current. (Check that the differ-
ential switch has not tripped and the magnetothermic switch is connected)
Check the lifting station’s thermal protection (this incorporates an automatic disconnection system for
excess temperatures). After approximately 20 minutes (this can vary depending on the room temper-
ature conditions) the unit will reactivate automatically.
If the lifting station is activated for too long a time period, or if it starts up continuously, a check should
be made to see that the connected fixtures are not leaking.
If water is returning to the macerator from the drainage pipe through the non-return valve, check that
the valve closes correctly (verify that the flapper sits correctly) and replace it or clean it if necessary
(see page 12).
