PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Little Giant's constant pressure boosting solutions help alleviate the challenges with inade-

quate or low water pressure. The Inline 1100 provides continuous pressure for private wells

and municipal/city water systems or multi-family dwellings. It also can be used in sprinkler,

farming, and commercial washdown or water storage/cistern system applications. This

pre-packaged all-in-one system includes a pump, motor, drive, and pressure switch.

Inline Systems are typically used to increase municipal water pressure anywhere from 10 to

70 psi (0.7 to 4.8 bars) above what is being supplied by the water utility.

The system provides consistent water pressure regulation using advanced electronics to drive the pump/

motor according to the system’s real-time demand. The water pressure demand is under constant monitor-

ing through a highly accurate, heavy-duty, long-life pressure sensor, which is included with and wired into

the system at the time of installation.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

Minimum Pressure Tank and Supply Pipe Sizing

Check that the pressure tank pre-charge setting is 70% of the system pressure sensor setting.

• To check the tank’s pre-charge, depressurize the water system by opening a tap.

• Measure the tank pre-charge with a pressure gauge at its inflation valve and make the necessary

adjustments.

NOTE: Tank pre-charge should be maintained for optimum pressure regulation.

• For 12 gpm (45 lpm) flow or greater, minimum pressure tank size is 4 gallons (15 L);

• For less than 12 gpm (45 lpm) pressure tank can be reduced to a minimum of 2 gallons (7.5 L).

The system is designed to operate as low as 3 psi (0.2 bar) at minimum incoming pressures.

NOTE: When used on a cistern, the incoming pressure requirement is waived, but a water level must be

maintained in the cistern to prevent a vortex from forming.

Risk of bodily injury or damage to pump or other equipment.

• Failure to maintain incoming water may result in heating of water, personal injury, pump damage

and/or property damage.

• Pressure tank failure may prevent the pump from shutting off. A run-on condition can heat the water

in the pump, which may cause pump failure, plumbing failure, and/or personal injury.

• Failure to install a pressure tank will prevent the pump from shutting off.

Environmental Requirements

Decide on a location for the pump installation that is:

• on a hard, level surface

• suitable to the enclosure rating of the system

• clean and well-ventilated

• protected from freezing, flooding, and excessive heat

• accessible for servicing

• convenient for draining of the pump housing, tank, and service pipes

• as close as possible to water source to minimize suction piping length

NOTE: When the pump is located at a distance from the water source, the piping may have to be

increased in diameter.

NOTE: The system is not designed to draw/lift water from a source below the pumping unit. There is

not an incoming flow requirement, other than that the system needs to be supplied with a constant

supply of water to keep the unit completely full of water at all times.

Risk of malfunction can occur due to improper handling, installation, or

environment.

• Handle with care to prevent damage to the plastic components.

• Do not mount on equipment with excessive vibration.

• Install in a location where temperature is within the range of product rating.

• Do not install in corrosive environments.

• Liquid-tight conduit and fittings must be used to maintain NEMA 4 rating.

• Installation in direct sunlight can reduce system power and reduce drive life.

INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

NOTE: Refer to “Typical Installation” on page 6.

1. Disconnect electrical power at the main breaker.

2. Close all water supply valves necessary to turn off the incoming water supply.

3. Carefully drain the existing plumbing system of all water.

4. Mount the system using mounting screws.

• The system may be installed in any orientation.

5. Install inlet plumbing to the unit.

• Install a check valve in the inlet plumbing when no other backflow prevention device is present.

• If a bypass loop is used in the plumbing, install the check valve before it.

• It is recommended to supply the system with inlet line ¾-inch diameter or larger.

NOTE: It is recommended that all system check valves are spring-loaded.

6. Connect the piping.

• Keep the suction and discharge lines as large as possible.

• Avoid using bends, elbows, and fittings whenever possible.

• Ensure all suction connections are airtight.

• Use pipe joint compound or PTFE tape at all threaded connections.

• Use a suction strainer when applicable to prevent solids and foreign matter from being drawn into

the pump.

7. Install a check valve in the outlet plumbing between the pump and pressure tank.

8. Add a small pressure tank on the pump outlet to maintain constant pressure.

NOTE: The tank supplies water while the pump ramps up to speed and when only a small amount of

water is required for a short period of time. Tanks prevent water hammer and prevent pressure spikes

when there is a sudden change in demand.

9. Install a shut-off valve in the plumbing near the discharge of the pump.

10. Install the pressure sensors at the pressure tank tee downstream of the pressure tank.

• The pressure sensor has a 1/4-18 NPT connection.

• Install the pressure sensor in an inverted orientation (upside down).

• Mount the pressure sensor in a vertical position.

• Make sure the pressure sensor and tank are not located more than 5 feet off the main piping.

11. Install a pressure relief valve downstream of the check valve, near the pressure tank.

• Plumb this discharge to a drain rated for maximum pump output at relief pressure settings.

Risk of bodily injury, property damage, or damage to system by pressurized

fluids.

• A pressure relief valve rated to handle full pump flow at 100 psi (6.9 bar) should be installed in the

system to prevent personal injury or property damage.

Risk of damage to pump or other property.

• A missing, improperly installed, or malfunctioning check valve can cause a pump to short-cycle due

to back-flow of the pumped fluid from the discharge plumbing back into the basin, significantly

shortening the life of the pump.

OPERATION

Priming the System

OPERATION

By adjusting the pump/motor speed, the system automatically reacts to any change in system demand

while maintaining a constant output pressure. The system’s constant output pressure should not fluctuate

more than a psi or two, even though the overall system’s water flow requirement may change dramatically.

Maximum suction pressure is 70 psi (4.8 bar).

NOTE: The drive electronics provide motor overload protection by preventing motor current from exceeding

the maximum Service Factor Amps (SFA). Motor over-temperature sensing is not provided by the drive.

Priming the System

1. Fill the suction pipe, pump, and discharge piping completely with water.

NOTE: If the system contains a tank or pressurized water source (creating a flooded suction condition),

this step may be unnecessary.

2. Close all system water outlets.

3. Slightly crack one system outlet to allow excess air to bleed out of the system.

4. Start the pump.

5. Slowly open the discharge valve to halfway.

6. If after a few minutes of running water does not appear, repeat priming process.

NOTE: The pump may be locked by excess air that is trapped in the unit.

7. Once the pump is operating, open the discharge valve and a system outlet fully, letting the pump oper-

ate until the water is running without any air sputtering.

NOTE: No further priming is necessary unless the pump is drained or a leak develops in the suction plumb-

ing.

Risk of bodily injury or damage to pump or other equipment.

• Maximum operating pressure should be limited to whatever level is needed to protect the rest of

the existing system plumbing. When required, a pressure relief valve should be installed, and/or the

optional over pressure switch can be used.

• Do not run pumps against a closed discharge, or at a system operating pressure above 145 psi (10

bar).

Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.

• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only.

• Do not run the pump dry, which can cause overheating and damage to the unit. This will void the

warranty.
