4. Configuración
4.1 Colocación
- Place the pump on a firm, level, and stable surface to prevent vibrations and ensure proper operation.
- Ensure the pump is protected from rain, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
- Maintain adequate ventilation around the pump motor.
4.2 Conexión de mangueras
- Linea de succión: Connect a robust, vacuum-resistant suction hose (minimum 1 inch diameter) to the pump's suction inlet (G1 female thread). Ensure all connections are airtight to prevent air ingress, which can impair pump performance. It is highly recommended to install a non-return valve at the end of the suction hose to prevent water from flowing back.
- Línea de presión: Connect the discharge hose (G1 female thread) to the pump's pressure outlet. This hose will lead to your irrigation system, tap, or other water consumption points.
Figure 3: Suction and pressure connections.
4.3 Cebado de la bomba
Before initial use or after the pump has run dry, it is crucial to prime the pump:
- Ensure the suction hose is fully submerged in the water source.
- Open the priming port (usually a screw on top of the pump housing) and slowly fill the pump housing with water until it overflows.
- Close the priming port securely.
- Open any taps or valves in the pressure line to allow air to escape during startup.
5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
5.1 Puesta en marcha de la bomba
- After priming, plug the pump into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Switch on the pump. The pump will start to draw water and build pressure.
- Once the pressure reaches the set cut-off point (visible on the pressure gauge), the pump will automatically switch off.
- When water is drawn (e.g., by opening a tap), the pressure will drop, and the pressure switch will automatically restart the pump.

5.2 Monitoreo de la presión
The integrated pressure gauge allows you to monitor the system pressure. The pump is designed to operate within a specific pressure range, automatically switching on and off to maintain consistent water supply.

5.3 Apagado
To turn off the pump, simply switch it off at the power switch and disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
6. Mantenimiento
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pump. Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before any maintenance.
- Comprobar conexiones: Periodically inspect all hose connections for leaks and ensure they are tight.
- Filtro limpio: If a pre-filter is installed on the suction line, clean it regularly to prevent blockages.
- Carcasa de la bomba: Keep the pump housing clean and free from dirt and debris.
- Winterización: Before the first frost, completely drain all water from the pump and hoses using the drain plug. Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location. Failure to do so will void the warranty.
7. Solución de problemas
Consulte la siguiente tabla para conocer los problemas más comunes y sus soluciones.
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| La bomba no arranca. | No power supply; thermal overload protection activated; motor fault. | Check power connection; allow pump to cool down; contact service. |
| La bomba funciona pero no sale agua. | Pump not primed; air in suction line; suction hose blocked or leaking; water source empty. | Prime the pump; check suction line for leaks/blockages; ensure water source is adequate. |
| Low pressure or intermittent flow. | Air in system; partial blockage; worn pump components; pressure switch setting. | Check for air leaks; clean filters; contact service; adjust pressure switch (if applicable and knowledgeable). |
| La bomba funciona continuamente. | Leak in pressure system; pressure switch faulty; tank pre-charge pressure too low. | Check for leaks in pipes/fittings; contact service; check tank pre-charge pressure (refer to specific tank instructions). |
The pump is equipped with thermal protection to prevent overheating. If the pump stops unexpectedly, allow it to cool down before attempting to restart.
8. Almacenamiento
When storing the pump for extended periods, especially during winter:
- Completely drain all water from the pump, tank, and connected hoses.
- Limpie el exterior de la bomba.
- Store the pump in a dry, frost-free, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and corrosive substances.
