6.8.2 Installation depths
Maximum installation depth below the static water
level: 150 metres. See fig. 11.
Minimum installation depths below the dynamic
water level:
•
Vertical installation:
During start-up and operation, the pump must
always be completely submerged in water.
•
Horizontal installation:
The pump must be installed and run at least
0.5 metres below the dynamic water level.
If there is a risk that the pump might be covered
by mud, the pump must always be fitted in a flow
sleeve.
6.8.3 When lowering the pump into the borehole
It is recommended to secure the pump by an
unloaded straining wire. See fig. 11, pos. 2.
Slacken the straining wire so that it becomes
unloaded and lock it to the borehole seal by means
of wire locks.
The straining wire must not be used for

7. Start-up
Make sure that the well is capable of yielding a
minimum quantity of water corresponding to the
pump capacity.
Do not start the pump until it is completely
submerged in the liquid.
Start the pump and do not stop it until the pumped
liquid is completely clean, as otherwise the pump
parts and the non-return valve may choke up.
8. Operation
8.1 Minimum flow rate
To ensure the necessary cooling of the motor, the
pump flow rate should never be set to a value lower
than 50 l/h.
If the flow rate suddenly falls, the reason might be
that the pump is pumping more water than the
borehole can yield. The pump must be stopped and
the fault corrected.
The pump dry-running protection is

duty range of the pump.

8.2 Selection of diaphragm tank and
setting of precharge pressure and
pressure switch
Warning
The installation must be designed for the
maximum pump pressure.
As the pump has a built-in soft starter giving a run-up
time of 2 seconds, the pressure at the pressure
switch and diaphragm tank during starting will be
lower than the pump cut-in pressure set on the
pressure switch (p
). This lower pressure is
cut-in
called minimum pressure (p
