Thanks to hydrophores, we obtain and maintain constant water pressure in a house that is not connected to the general water supply network. When installing a hydrophore, we should remember to place it in a building or basement, avoiding overheating or freezing of the water. Connecting a hydrophore to a well and to water installations at home is not complicated and anyone can do it themselves.
Hydrophore installation
Hydrophore installation is not complicated provided that all the rules of subsequent assembly stages are followed.
The installation steps are as follows:
- Installing the suction pipe in deep well
The suction pipe is inserted into the well. We screw the non-return valve, the pipe connector and the strainer to the end of the suction pipe and seal the whole thing with Teflon tape. Once the suction pipe is twisted, we throw it into the deep well.
- Installation of a non-return valve and a filter to protect the rotors
We connect a non-return valve sealed with Teflon tape to the hydrophore (the valve is designed to prevent water from flowing back from the tank to the pipe). Then we screw a special filter to it to protect the pump rotors.
- Installation of dry running protection
We install a special protection against dry operation in the hydrophore, which will stop the pump operation if there is no access to water. We seal the device with Teflon tape and screw it to the water pump in an appropriate place.
- Connecting the hydrophore to the well
The next stage is the installation of a ball valve that allows you to cut off the water supply in the event of a failure. We screw it in the appropriate place to the installation that protects the hydrophore against dry running.
- Installing a pipe supplying the water supply network in the house
Once the ball valve is installed, we screw the supply pipe to it, which supplies water to the water supply system in the house. We always install the pipe above the ball valve so that in the event of a failure, we can easily cut off the water supply to home installations.
- Installation of the suction pipe to the hydrophore
Then we connect the suction pipe. It is long and stiff, so an additional flexible pipe is used to connect it. Securely screw the end of the suction pipe to one end of the flexible pipe, and the other end of the loose pipe to the appropriate hydrophore entrance with a non-return valve and a filter protecting the rotors.
- Starting and regulating the hydrophore
Fill the entire installation with water and start the pump. We adjust the pressure switch so that it properly controls the operation of the pump.
