4. Pre-Start Check
Always ensure the static inlet and outlet heads above the pump do not exceed the
permitted maximum (see pump location section).
5. Starting The Pump
a) Ensure all outlets are closed, turn power supply ‘on’ - pump will start, pressurise
the system then stop.
b) Open and close all outlets in turn associated with the pump, (including w/c
systems) allowing water to flow from each outlet until all air is purged. As each
outlet is opened the vessel will discharge its stored water until pressure falls
when pump will start and satisfy demand.
After closing the outlet there will be a delay before the pump stops, which is
normal.
Any tap or control valve within the system when opened and closed will now
initiate this sequence of events. Providing this is the case the system is now
operating correctly.
c) Carefully check pump and pipework for leaks whilst pump running and stationary
before leaving the installation unattended.

MAINTENANCE
WARNINGS:
 Care should be taken to protect pump from frost and freezing,
particularly when located in a loft installation.
 Pump Location
If possible site the pump in a location where in the unlikely event of a
water leak, any spillage is contained or routed to avoid electrics or
areas sensitive to water damage.
1. No routine maintenance is required but provision should be made
for easy access to the pump to allow for repairs due to normal wear
and tear.
2. Disconnect electrical supply before working on pump.
3. Turn off water supplies to the pump and release pressure by opening water outlets
before attempting maintenance.
4. The inlet strainer incorporates a removable gauze filter which may require periodical
cleaning. The frequency of this operation is dependent upon installation conditions.
The strainer is located in the inlet pipework to the pump (see page 7). The gauze
filter is removed as follows:-
a) Isolate pump electrically.
b) Release all system pressure.
c) Isolate water supply.
d) Remove screwed hexagonal plug from strainer body (see page 7).
e) Remove and clean stainless steel gauze filter.
f) Reassemble gauze and secure plug tightly.
g) See commissioning section for instructions on re-starting pump.
