vetus® Automatic demand water pressure pump WP
1 Introduction
The pump is intended to be used as a pressur-
ized water system on yachts and small craft.
Possible other applications are pumping of u-
ids for cleaning purposes or water purication.
In a pressurized water system the pump will
be switched on immediately after the pressure
has dropped when water is tapped ensuring a
continuous ow of tap water.
Following the recommendations below will re-
sult in a longer life and better performance of
your water pressure pump.
Ensure that the water supply tank is always
full; although the pump can still run when
dry, this will prevent unnecessary dry run-
ning.
Check that the battery voltage is correct.
Battery voltage loss can be reduced by us-
ing cables of sucient cross sectional area.
Ensure that the pressurized water system
is properly prepared for winter before the
temperature falls below zero. Otherwise,
irreparable damage may be caused to the
system.
Carry out the maintenance described regu-
larly.
2 Installation
2.1 General
Always install the pump in accordance with
the applicable regulations of the country con-
cerned.
2.2 Position
See ‘9 Installation recommendations on
pages 46 and 47.
1 The pump may be positioned at the
same level or lower or higher as the tank;
the maximum priming height is is 1.8 m
(6 ft).
2 The maximum suction line length (hori-
zontally) is 9 m (30 ft).
3 The pump can be mounted in any posi-
tion. The pump head should be pointing
downwards if mounted vertically.
The space in which the tank is placed should
be dry and properly ventilated. The pump
should be 1 cm (3/8”) free all round from
bulkheads or other equipment, to provide
ventilation. Do not locate the pump in a
space less than 0.03 m
3
(30 dm
3
, 1 cubic
foot) unless adequate ventilation is pro-
vided. In case of overheating the integrated
thermal protection will interrupt operation.
When cooled down suciently the pump
will resume operation.
Position the pump in such a way that it is
readily accessible for inspection.
There must be sucient free space available
to perform maintenance on the pump.
Also ensure that there is sucient free
space for the hose connections. These must
be easily accessible during installation.
Make sure that the foundation for the pump
is strong enough to secure it properly.
