Attention: technical advices for discharge pipework
-The discharge pipe must not be kinked.
-
A vertical lift must be made before the horizontal run at the start of the piperun
(Fig. 4).
-
Horizontal pipe runs must have a minimum fall of 1:100 (10mm per meter) up
to the soil stack (1% gradient).
- It is recommend to predispose a drain-off point
pipework to be drained down before any service work.
-
If the discharge pipework runs to a level considerably lower than the unit, the
resul
tant siphoning effect can empty the siphon from the unit and from the
appliances connected t
o it, causing smell. In such installation it’s
recommended to install an air admittance valve at the highest point of the pipe
run (Fig. 5).
-
If the discharge pipe has external stretches, the pipe must be adequately
lagged to avoid the possibility of freezing.
-
Any elbow in the routing of the discharge pipe will create friction loss (roughly
50 cm per elbow to be deducted from the vertical pumping specification).
- To avoid friction losses always use smooth bends (or
and not 90° elbows.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The electrical installation must be carried by qualified personnel
The unit should be connected to a fully earthed electrical supply.
6.
COMMISSIONING THE UNIT
The unit can be tested only after the complete installation (plumbing and
electrical installations).
The Geyser motor has an intermittent use and the running time to clear the
waste is variable as its performances depends by the quantity of water to be
discharged and by the routing of the discharge pipe.
If the unit is not able to discharge, disconnect the electrical plug and wait about
10 seconds before to reconnect. If also after the reconnection the unit is not
able to discharge, disconnect the electr
ical plug and check that the discharge
pipe is clear and not kinked.
Flush all others appliances connected to the unit checking that all seals and
connections are watertight.
