and/or the facility
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Please observe the following instructions to achieve
the best pump performance possible and a trouble
free installation.
Read these instructions before installing the
pump. Save them for future reference.
The ACUARIA range consists of vertical submersible
pumps, easy to install and designed to operate with
clean water, free from elements in suspension, at a
maximum temperature of 40°C.
The ACUAPRES07S models are pumps with built-in
electronic pressure regulator made up of a check
valve and control electronics. These pumps have
been designed to automate the starting and stopping
process and to prevent them from operating without
water. With water consumption of more than 1.4
l/minute (4.31 US g.p.m.) the pump is always
operational.
The ACUAPRES07S models have a start-up
pressure of 2bar(4M)/ 3bar(6M). The pump remains
operational while a faucet is Ieft running. The pump
stops when, all the faucets are closed.
together with one of the
The lubricating oil in the motor is non toxic. In the case
of accidental discharge, it will not affect the colour or
smell of the water and has no detrimental health effects.
Correct pump operation is assured providing
the instructions on electrical connection,
installation and use are strictly adhered to.
Failure to adhere to the instructions can result
in premature failure of the pump and voiding
of the warranty.
2. HANDLING
The pumps are supplied suitably packaged to prevent
damage in transit. Before unpacking, check that the
packaging has not been damaged or deformed,
Lift and handle the product with care and with
the right tools.
3. INSTALLATION
Pumps should not rest on the bottom of the
well, nor be placed very near the walls. To
avoid this, hang the pump from a cable
through the handle on the top.
Never hang the pump from the power cable or
the discharge line. The pump must be
completely submerged to ensure proper
cooling. See fig. 1 and fig. 2
Make sure the well flow is higher than required,
to prevent the pump from running dry or from
starting and stopping more often than normal.
If the well water level fluctuates significantly,
we recommend installing level electroprobe
equipment.
To avoid ruining the motor power cable and
level electroprobe cables, attach them to the
discharge line with clamps when lowering
them into the well.
In the ACUAPRES07S models, the geometrical
height from the position of the pump to the
highest point of the installation should not
exceed 20m(4M)/ 30m(6M). See fig.3.
3.1. Discharge pipe assembly
The pumps are supplied ready to be connected a 1"
line. However, if the geometric height is considerable
and the paths are long and winding, we recommend
using lines with a larger diameter, to avoid head loss
due to friction as much as possible and to obtain the
best hydraulic performance possible.
Install a check valve on the outlet of the pump to prevent
the line from emptying every time the pump stops.
The check valve is already included in the
ACUAPRES07 models. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
INSTALL ANOTHER VALVE. Install the included
expansion vessel (Kit Pres) at some point of the
discharge line. See fig.3.
If a plastic hose is chosen instead of a metallic line,
make sure it can withstand the pressure provided by
the pump. Prevent the hose from becoming twisted
because, in addition to preventing the desired flow,
proper pump operation will be hindered.
