GENERAL PUMP INSTALLATION / SETUP (FIG 1)
City booster pump installation is shown per
FIG 1. During pump use, ensure ball valves #1 and #2 are open,
and ball valve #3 is closed.
#1 An Adjustable Pressure Regulator
(APR#1) is required on the suction side of the pump (see fig 1)
if the incoming water pressure can exceed the maximum input
pressure.
#2 An Adjustable Pressure Regulator (APR#2)
is required on the Discharge (See fig 1) to ensure maximum water
pressure does not exceed local plumbing codes.
#3 A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) connected
to a drain is required (see fig 1) to safe guard plumbing from
exceeding max pressures if the Pressure Regulators fail.
Typically the PRV would be set 5 psi higher than the APR#2.
NOTE: Optional external water tank can be used to decrease the
on/off cycle rate of the pump system, which can extend the life of
the pump. (Typical tank 3 gallon draw down.) Set tank PSI equal to
pump tank PSI.
The entire system must be air and water tight
to maintain prime. Use thread tape on all connections to ensure
no leaks. Hand tighten all threads and then add additional half
turn with wrench.
FOR NEW PUMP INSTALLATION
1.
The inlet and outlet flanges are tightened to the pump casing
before shipment. For new pump installations, do not remove
the flanges (FIG 2). Because of the use of self-tapping
screws, please use extra care when you have to remove the
flanges for future maintenance.
2. Install unions on inlet and outlet piping prior to attaching
them to the pump flanges. (FIG 3).
3. The pump foundation should be rigid enough to absorb any
vibration from the motor, and the pump should be securely
bolted to the foundation.
4. Please provide an adequate draining system to avoid damage
in case of leakage, particularly when installed indoors. When
the pump is installed outdoors, it should be covered by a
weather-proof, well ventilated housing.
5. The pump and all piping must be protected from freezing.
When the pump will be exposed to temperatures less than
32°F (0°C), relocate it to a heated area.
