Installation

The electrical installation shall be in accordance with the national wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) for class 1, IP44 rated products.

These instructions are a guide only. Users not familiar with pumping equipment should seek advice from people experienced in pump equipment and installation.

Freezing conditions will damage the unit, because when water freezes it expands. Ensure that the pump is located so that it is not prone to freezing, or ensure that the product is disconnected and dried of water during cold conditions.

The pump is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from electrical supply during installation and any subsequent service work.

The pump is designed to be used with clean water in a residential application. Do not use it with alternative fluids, abrasive, corrosive or explosive fluids. Do not install or operate your pump in an explosive environment or near combustible matter.

Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.

Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures.

To reduce risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at least 20 minutes before trying to work on it. A thermal overload switch protects the motor for heat damage during operation.

Read the following instructions in this owner’s manual when installing and operating equipment.

1. Preparation for Installation

Inspect your pump for shipping damage. Report any damage to your Dealer. Make sure the suction piping is free of air leaks and is laid so that there can be no airlocks.

Warranty of these pumps is void unless they are operated in accordance with this owner’s manual.

2

2. Pump Protection

The pump should be protected from the weather, floods, chemicals, dust, vermin, insects etc. It is highly recommended that the pump be housed in a weather proof, well vented enclosure. If the pump is not adequately housed the warranty may be deemed void.

3. Not recommended for connection with a mains Pressure

Hot Water System

4. Pipe Installation

Pumps can be damaged if care is not taken when connecting pipes. Pipes should be supported so that the pump casing is not strained by the weight or misalignment.

We recommend the pump and pipe are coupled using flexible type polythene pipe, rubber hose or a multi-directional barrel union. This union coupling can also be used to remove the pump for service should it be necessary without having to cut pipes.

Pipe fittings should be carefully screwed onto the pump making sure not to crossthread or overtighten. We recommend the use of a moulded pipe fitting to connect to the pump as this avoids possible damage to the pump threads and unnecessary replacement of parts.

For best results use teflon tape to join seal joint. Satisfactory sealing can be achieved by hand tightening fittings ensuring that no leaks are evident once under pumping pressure.

5. Locating the Pump

Find a location for your pump as close to your water source as possible.

Ensure that this location is on a seperate footing from your home. To do this you can mount the pump on a concrete tile or concrete base.

6. Power Source

Arrange for an electrician to install an outdoor 10A GPO electrical outlet within 2 metres of the pump if there is not one there already.

7. Suction

This is the most important part of the installation as errors will cause significant problems for the system in performance and longevity.

IMPORTANT: A gate valve must be installed at the tank outlet.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

Pump does not

Start

Cause

No Electricity

Pressure Controller has detected that there is not water in tank.

Pump is blocked

Defective Capacitor

Remedy

Ensure that the pump is connected to a live outlet.

Check Circuit breakers and Fuses

Check that there is enough water in the tank, then press the “reset” or “Start” button on the pressure controller.

Disconnect the pump from the power outlet, and check the pump housing and discharge for foreign matter.

Call qualifed service technician

Pump will not stop, even though there is no taps open.

Debris is caught in the pressure controller

No Water From

Pump

There are leaks in the household plumbing

Pump is not primed

Suction line is leaking

Blockages in the pump or discharge

Valves Closed

Not enough water in the tank to pump.

Pump does not produce enough pressure

Pressure Switch is out of adjustment

In-Line filters or tap filters are blocked

8

Take the pressure controller to your dealer for service.

Find and fix leaks

Ensure that pump body and suction line are filled with water before starting.

Check the suction line for leaks especially at joints.

Disconnect the pump from the power outlet, and check the pump housing and discharge for foreign matter

Check all valves on the tank, pump, and outlets.

Wait until there is more water in the tank.

Press the ‘reset’ or ‘start’ button on the pressure controller.

Check and clean pump

Check system pressure and adjust accordingly

Clean filters

1. Start-up / Operation

When the power is turned on, the pump will start, and stop as soon as it has pressurised the system it is connected to. If the pump does not start, press the ‘restart’ button on the front of the pressure controller. Open a tap, (or garden hose nozzle) and the pump should start and deliver water. When the tap is closed, the pump will stop once pressure is built up in the system. The system is now working correctly.

If no water is delivered, check the troubleshooting section of this manual, and additionally, refer to the pressure controller installation and operating instructions packaged with the controller.

Service and Maintenance

Pump should only be serviced by qualified personel.

To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor and remove plug from power outlet before working on pump or motor.

Liquid may be HOT, release pressure with care before servicing.

1. General Care and Maintenance

No lubrication or regular maintenance is needed beyond reasonable care. When pump is not in use for a long period of time, empty the pump, rinse it with clean water and place it in dry storage.

In order to prevent possible failures, it is advisable to periodically check the pressure supplied and power absorption. A decrease in pressure is a symptom of wear. An increase current absorption is a sign of abnormal mechanical function in the pump and/or motor.

To maintain optimum performance from your pump, the suction pipe should be:

- Kept to the shortest distance practical, but not shorter than the recommended length.

-

-

-

-

Re-enforced crush resistant (non-collapsable) hose or pipe.

All fittings should be air tight.

Pipes should be equal to or larger than the diameter of the suction/inlet port.

Optional: Fitted with a suction Strainer/Filter

- 25mm pipe size (1”)

4

In-line strainers/filters are only recommended for pumps fitted with Minipress. Regular maintenance is required to keep them clean and provide maximum pump pressure.

7. Discharge

The length and diameter of the discharge hoses/pipes will affect the pressure and flow rate at which your pump operates. Pressure ratings of all components must exceed the maximum pressure of the pump by an appropriate safety factor. All pipe work should be supported independently of the pump.

Connect the fitting at the top of the pressure controller (1”BSP Male) to the household plumbing or garden taps*.

*If you want to test that the pump is operating correctly prior to having the plumbing connected, attach a hose with a trigger nozzle to the top of the pressure controller.

8. Pump Priming

Ensure that there is at least 200mm of water in your tank, (i.e. that the tank outlet is covered, and the pump will not draw any air into the system). Open the gate valve on the tank. Check for any leaks, and repair these if necessary.

If no leaks are present, remove the priming plug to open the priming port on the top of the pump case.

If your tank is below the level of the pump (diagram A - page 4), you will need to fill the pump body and suction line. Remove the priming plug and fill the pump body and suction line using a funnel.

If the tank is above the level of the pump (diagram B - page 4), water will start to run out of this port. Replace the priming plug carefully. Your pump is now ready to run.

(Note: If a check valve is installed in the suction line, water may not fill the pump. It may be necessary to fill the suction line/pump casing with water using a funnel.

9. Electrical Installation

The pump is supplied with an IEC interconnection appliance coupler. Connection to the power supply is a matter of inserting the plug into the suitable socket outlet.

Connect the pump using the IEC interconnector to the Minipress before plugging the power supply cord into the socket outlet. Ensuring there are no water traces on the connectors push them firmly into each other to ensure intended splash (water) proof protection. This connection shall be separated again only for service purpose and only after the power supply is removed by unplugging the cord from the socket outlet.

The socket outlet shall be in a dry and flood free location; preferably do not use extension cords for this very reason and because they can cause voltage drop.

5

WARNING

Hazardous voltage.

Can shock, burn, or cause death.

Supply voltage outside limits specified in Model Data can cause motor overheat leading to overload tripping, reduced component life or seriously damage pump and voids warranty.

We recommend, for additional protection, the pump to be supplied from socket outlet protected by a residual current device – RCD (also known as an Earth Leakage

Circuit breaker – ELCB) with a maximum rated residual current of 30mA.

Operation

The pump operator or owner must be provided with this owner’s manual. This must be read before operation, and followed during operation.

Ensure that your pump is filled with water before operating.

The pump is designed to be used with clean water in a residential application. Do not use it with alternative fluids, specifically abrasive, corrosive or explosive fluids. Do not install or operate your pump in an explosive enviroment or near combustible matter.

Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures.

To reduce risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at least 20 minutes before trying to work on it. A thermal overload switch protects the motor for heat damage during operation.

DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY

Ensure that your pump is filled with water before operating
