The device shall be set onto an aligned and horizontal
surface strong enough to support the device total weight
when filled with water.
To prevent vibration the device shall be set onto an elastic
base (support). (For example on top of a rubber mat).
For stationary use the device can be screwed to the base.
When used in garden ponds or swimming pools install the
device in a safe manner preventing it is not flooded or it
will not fall into the water deposit.
These additional requisites shall also be observed.
The installation site shall have good ventilation and protected
from climate effects.
When operated indoors make sure there is drain in the floor
or a leak prevention mechanism.
Before using the devices double-check the suction hose is
sealed. Bubbles coming out of the suction hose indicate
leaks and malfunction of the device.
When installing the device verify it is disconnected from
the power source. Protect the device and all the pipes
against bad weather or freezing. To prevent personal injuries
avoid putting your hands inside the device opening when
is connected to the power source.
Suction line connection
The suction line shall be installed in a way
WARNING
it doesn't presents any mechanical force or tension in the
device.
Use a check valve to prevent water from leaking out when
turning off the device.
Seal all connections with twine and thick paste or with
thread-sealing tape (for example Teflon tape). Leaks cause
air to escape and reduce or prevent the water to flow out.
For metal pipe threads use twine. For threads made of
synthetic materials use sealing tape.
All components in the suction line shall be install by a
professional.
The suction pipe shall have at least 1" of inner diameter.
Shall be resistant to elbow shape pipes and adequate to be
used in vacuum.
The suction line shall be as short as possible. The suction
capacity lowers at par with the line increment. To prevent
air pockets, the suction line shall rise in a regular manner
towards the device. Double-check there is enough water.
The final end in the suction line shall always be inside the
water.
When height is above 13,1', use pipes with a larger diameter
to prevent a possible pressure loss. The suction line shall
be perfectly sealed. Avoid when possible elbow shape pipes
and slopes to prevent air formations that affect the hydro
pneumatic device performance. To prevent water return
and loss of pressure set a check valve in the water tank
output or a foot valve if the device is set in a cistern outlet.
It is advisable to set a second retention check valve directly
in the supply line to prevent the device to get damaged with
water stroke.
A gate valve or ball valve can also be set leveled with the
check valve to make the water supply flowing better. Pipes
shall be fixed so that when there are vibrations, tension
and weight will not affect the device. Water supply piping
shall be as short and straight as possible and preventing
from using elbow shape pipes or in slopes.
Pressure line connection
The pressure line shall be installed using
WARNING
care there are no mechanical forces or tension over the
device.
All the connections shall be sealed with twine or thick paste
or using thread-sealing tape (for example Teflon tape).
Leaks lead to air escaping and reduce or prevent water to
flow out
For metal pipe threads use twine. For threads made of
synthetic materials use sealing tape.
All components in the pressure line shall be
compression-proof. All components in the pressure line
shall be install by a professional.
The device can also be firmly connected to the piping system
(for example, indoors water supply). In this case the device
shall be connected to the piping system with high-pressure
flexible hose lines.
When the components are not compression
WARNING
proven or are not connected properly the pressure line
could burst during the operation. There is risk of injury
due to the water jet.
The device can only be used for industrial water
NOTE
supply, for example for toilets, washing machines, etc.
Shall not be used to supply drinking water.
