6. Electrical Connection
Before operation, an expert check must secure that the
required electrical protection measures exist. The connec-
tion to ground, earthing, isolating transformer, fault current
breaker or fault voltages circuit must correspond to the
guidelines set forth by the responsible power plant.
The voltage required in the technical data sheet
must correspond to the existing line voltage.
Make sure that the electrical pin-and-socket connec-
tions are installed flood- and moisture-safe. Before starting
operation check the cable and the plug against damages.
7. Installation
A permanent installation of the pump is only allowed in
under cover rooms which are ventilated. The max. room
temperature is 40°C.
To prevent the pump or pump control from being dam-
aged by contamination we generally recommend that a pre-
filter be fitted.
Before a start-up of the pump the suction pipe and the
discharge pipe must be installed.
The operator has to prevent damage through the flood-
ing of rooms caused by defects of the pump through the
use of appropriate measures (e.g. installation of alarm
units, backup pumps or like that).
7.1 The suction pipe
The suction pipe transports the clear water from the well to
the pump. As a suction pipe you can use the HOMA suction
kit (available in the length 4 m or 7 m) with reinforced hose,
22 mm Ø, foot valve and pump connector. For other length
or other diameters see HOMA accessory-program.
The suction pipe normally consists of the following parts:
- Hose spigot or half suction
coupling and fixed coupling
- Hose bands
- Reinforced hose
¾" bis 1¼"
- Hose bands
- Hose spigot
By using a fixed coupling at the suction side of the pump
you must use a readjustable half suction coupling (never
use a second fixed coupling) to guarantee an absolute
tightness of the suction pipe. Furthermore each thread must
be isolated by teflon. A suction pipe which is not airtight
suck in air and obstruct suction of water.
Instead of using a hose you can install a threaded pipe.
Please pay attention to the above mentioned rules. In any
case a foot valve with strainer must be installed at the end
of the suction pipe. If not the suction pipe will run out of
water during non-operation of the pump. When you restart
the pump the suction pipe must be filled before pumping
water. By using the pump with pre-compression for boosting
a check valve must be installed in the suction pipe.
7.2 Length of the suction pipe
The length of the suction pipe consists of a vertical and a
horizontal part. The vertical part between pump and water
surface is called suction height. The max. suction height
is 8 m. The suction height might be reduced when there is
a large distance between water intake and pump. A reason
for that is the horizontal suction pipe length which caused
friction loss. Please choose the lentgh of the suction pipe in
that way that the end of the suction pipe is 30 cm below the
water surface in the well.
7.3 Installation of the suction pipe
Connect the suction pipe at the pump inlet (Pos. A). To
reduce the first priming process of the self-priming pump we
recommened to fill up the
suction pipe with clear –
water before you install the
suction pipe. In any case
you must completely fill up
the pump housing through
the discharge connection
(Pos. B) or the fill-up opening
(Pos. C). Viewed from the
pump suction side, the pipe
must be layed constantly
drooped without any loops.
7.4 The discharge pipe
The discharge pipe transports the water from the pump to
the tap or sprinkler. Under normal operation conditions a
hose diameter of ½“ at the discharge side is enough. To
increase the pressure and the water output at the end of the
discharge pipe please choose a larger diameter of the dis-
charge pipe, max. 1¼“.
Seal up the male threads with teflon (fixed-coupling, hose
spigot, pipe) and connect the pipe to the discharge (Pos. B).
Check the water level in the pump housing again and fill up
the pump housing through the fill-up opening (Pos. C) if
necessary. The pump is operative.
8. Start-Up
Never let the pump run dry for a long time of period, as
it will destroy the pump (danger of overheating).
The unit must be protected against moisture, frost or
heat. If there is a risk of frost, the pump has to be emptied
completely. Store it in a dry place.
8.1 Domestic booster unit
Connect the Domestic booster unit to the mains power
supply.
The pump of the Domestic booster unit switches on auto-
matically at start-up to build up the pre-adjusted max. sys-
tem pressure. When this pressure is reached, the pump
switches off. The pressure-switch at the Domestic booster
unit makes sure that the unit is working fully automatically. It
switches the pump on, if the system pressure reaches a
pre-adjusted minimum because of water withdrawal (open-
ing the tap). Once the withdrawal is finished and the max.
system pressure is reached again, the pump turns off. If the
pump operates, water must be raised by open tap. If the
pump operates against a closed tap longer than 5 minutes,
the pump will be damaged by overheating. To applicate the
pump at another location please make sure that no air
penetrates in the suction pipe. If air penetrates into the pipe
please repeat the steps described under 7.1 before starting
the pump.
