Have you ever had a problem with water? both in terms of slow flow light flow and no water at all and that! cause you a lot of problems especially for the business of rented rooms condos, apartments or businesses with tall buildings cushing you to be frustrated with all these problems and from now on you will not be frustrated anymore If you come to know this type of device who can say that It is something that is very important to you because you won’t have to endure complaining anymore okay let’s find out from the article Transfer Pump and the working principle of the system.
Transfer Pump What is a transfer pump?
Transfer Pump is adding water from the source to the destination by relying on the difference in the water level to control the operation by using the electrode rod which receives the signal by the float less level relay the transfer pump system is controlled by using only one pump or 2 is fine but 2 pump controllers must also have the function of switching the water pump In most cases transfer pump sets usually consist of 2 pumps in a small building or 3 pumps in a large building and the function to work the pump works alternately when using water not much and the pumps work together in the event that the water demand of the building is so high that the first pump can’t deliver water in time the second pump had to work to help the one that controls the operation of the transfer pump usually uses an electric float or electrode rod to cut the pump’s operation.
Features of transfer pumps
- Can be installed directly into the water supply pipe to the building
- Reduce equipment installation time
Before it becomes a transfer pump, there must be other equipment as well. What are they?
Cold water pump control cabinet
Control cabinet (Cold Water Pump Controller) is 380V/50HZ. There are 2 ways to operate the cabinet
- Manual control system (Manual)
- Auto system
Operation system of the transfer pump control cabinet
When supplying electricity from the outside to the control cabinet there will be a light show on the lamp when wanting the 1st pump to work twist the arrow switch of the 1st water pump to the MANUAL (SHI) position, press the START (STI) button, the water pump will work and there will be a light showing on the RUN (L3) lamp and When wanting the 1st water pump to stop working, press the STOP(SPI) button the 1st water pump will stop working immediately and the light showing on the RUN(L3) lamp will also go out When wanting the 2nd water pump to work, Do the same way as the 1st water pump.
Automation (AUTO)
When supplying electricity from outside to the control cabinet, there will be a light to show on the tube to turn the arrow switch of both water pumps to the Auto position, both water pumps will work automatically the operation of each water pump will have a light showing on the run lamp the water pump will work alternately when receiving a signal from ELECTRODE(E3) Sump on the roof and run simultaneously from ELECTRODE(E4) Roof top pond and water pump will stop automatically when the water level is reached. ELECTRODE(E2) Roof Top Pond.
but this device There are also precautions that you should know
- If the light shows the ground tank low level lamp the water pump will not be able to work because the water level in the water tank is lower than the specified level Have to wait for the water level to reach the starting pin set ELECTRODE
- Lamp showing OVERLOAD 1, 2 water pump will not work because the water pump has been overloaded or overloaded. Have to check, wipe, fix, then perform a RESET at the OVERLOAD inside the control cabinet
in the next article I will take you to expand on the cold water pump control cabinet. Please follow the news as well.
Okay here comes another thing that you should know that is how to maintain the transfer pump, which since we have already installed this equipment we should also know how to maintain to make this device can be used for a long time and don’t be frustrated In case we encounter problems too.
How to take care of the transfer pump maintenance can observe and check the values as follows
- The operation of the Controller whether it is working abnormally or not, for example
- Every time you check the lamp in front of the cabinet must have a light showing all the time or an overload light indicating that the pump has a problem let’s do an urgent check.
- Listen to the motor whether there is abnormal sound or not.
- Observe the seal at the pump neck whether there is water leakage or not.
All in all, for make the pump last longer And do not have to stop working to repair the pump pump frequently But there should be a schedule of usage history, maintenance, schedule for daily inspection, every 6 months and annual inspection to be used as a guide for checking for yourself as well
