1 READ BEFORE COMMENCING PUMP INSTALLATION

A. Water storage capacity.

1.11 The cold water storage capacity must be sufficient to meet the flow rates

required by the pumped equipment and any other water using fittings and

appliances, which may be operated simultaneously.

1.12 DO NOT allow the pump to run dry as damage to the shaft seal will result. To

ensure dry running does not occur the pump must be primed as described in

priming section. See Section 4 - Commissioning.

B. Water temperature

This unit is designed to pump cold water only which should not exceed the following

values:

1.13 The maximum allowable water temperature is 35 oC.

1.14 The minimum allowable water temperature is 4 oC.

C. Pipework - General
