Installing your TIP EJ 5 Plus Deep Well Pump correctly is essential for optimal performance and a long lifespan. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the manufacturer's recommendations:
-
General Installation Guidelines:
- Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before beginning installation.
- Protect the pump and all connected components from freezing temperatures.
- Ensure all connections are watertight to prevent leaks, which can impact pump efficiency.
-
Installing the Intake Line:
- Use a flexible suction hose that matches the diameter of the pump's suction port.
- Attach an intake filter or strainer to the suction line to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Include a check valve (non-return valve) to prevent water from flowing back when the pump is off.
-
Installing the Pressure Line:
- The pressure line should have a diameter at least equal to the pump's pressure port.
- Install a check valve downstream from the pump outlet to guard against pressure spikes.
-
Lowering Rope Installation:
- Use a robust lowering rope made from stainless steel or a durable synthetic material.
- The rope should be able to support at least five times the weight of the pump and the filled pressure line.
- Securely fasten the lowering rope, the electrical cable, and the pressure line together at regular intervals to prevent tangling.
-
Electrical Connection:
- The pump includes a pre-wired mains connection cable and plug; only qualified professionals should replace these if needed.
- Make sure the electrical connection is properly earthed, and use a residual current circuit breaker.
- When using extension cables, ensure they have a cross-section that meets or exceeds the specifications for H07RN-F cables.
