instruction manual
NOTE read the manual prior to commencement of use. For safety
reasons, the device can only be operated by persons well-familiarised
with the manual.
NOTE: the manual is the primary part of the purchase and sale contract. The
user s failure to observe the instructions included in the manual is a breach of
the contract and excludes any complaints arising from potential device failure
caused by the use that is inconsistent with instructions of its use.
NOTE: prior to start of the device, please make sure that the capacity
of the well from which you are going to pump the water is sufficient,
i.e. whether the efficiency of the purchased pump is not too high in
relation to the well capacity. Installation of the pump that is too large
can stop the water flow in the suction pipe and result in “dry” pump
operation - without water. Pumps with capacities of 100 l/min and
higher require new, efficient wells !
This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced motor, sensory or mental capacities, or
persons without experience or not familiarised with the equipment,
unless it is performed under supervision or according to the
instruction regarding operation provided by persons responsible for
their safety.
Attention should be paid so that children do not play with the
equipment.

APPLICATION:
Surface pumps and booster pumps which are the subject of this manual are intended
for water supply to households from individual water intakes. The devices can also be
used to increase pressure, provided that the inflow pressure on the suction side does
not exceed 3 bars (300000 a). When the pumps are used in municipal (collective)
water systems, a non-return valve must be installed before the pump to prevent water
return to the public water system. The devices described in the manual can be used to
pump water from dug or bored wells, provided that the negative pressure, necessary
for water suction, does not exceed 8 m of water column. The value of negative
pressure is influenced by such factors as (the values sum up):
1) vertical distance between the water level and suction pump of the booster set,
pump (depth). One meter of depth corresponds to one metre of negative pressure.
2) length and diameter of the suction pipe. 10 m long suction pipe with diameter of 1”
corresponds to 1.5 m of negative pressure, i.e. 0.15 m of negative pressure per 1 m
of the pipe. 10 m long suction pipe with diameter of 11/4” corresponds to 1 m of
negative pressure, i.e. 0.1 m of negative pressure per 1 m of the pipe. Note: the
length of the vertical section must be also taken into account in calculations
Example:
The booster set is set at the distance of 10 m from the well where the depth to the water level is 5 m. A
suction pipe with 1” diameter was used in assembly.
The negative pressure connected with the depth is 5 m.
The negative pressure connected with the length and diameter of the suction pipe is
(5vertical section+10horizontal section) x 0.15for diameter 1” = 2.25 m
In total, the negative pressure is 5_2.25 = 7.25 m. In this example the negative pressure of 8 m is not
exceeded and the booster pump should operate without problems.
If the negative pressure of 8 m is exceeded during operation (e.g. when the water level decreases
during pumping), the booster pump can be damaged due to operation without water flow. This type of
failure is not subject to warranty repair. Bearing the aforementioned in mind, if it is possible that the
water level will decrease, e.g. during droughts or intensive plant watering, the booster set must be
installed in such a manner that a possibly high negative pressure reserve is preserved. For this purpose,
it is preferable to install the booster set or pump at a short distance from the well and the recommended
cross-section of the water pipe to use is 11/4”.
Warning!! Using suction pipes with diameter lower than 1” is prohibited. In such a
case, the booste pump will not start pumping water, and if it starts - it may be
damaged due to lack of water flow. This type of failure is not subject to warranty
repair.
The device is intended for pumping of clean water, with no solid or abrasive particles.
umping water containing sand results in fast wear and tear of the pump and, in
consequence, it its failure. In such a case, only paid repair is available.
It is prohibited to use additional filters (except for well filters) on the suction side of the
pump. This type of filters reduces the water flow and increases the actual pump
suction height. In such a situation, when the filter is soiled, the water column in the
suction pipe can be interrupted, causing operation of the pump without water which
can result in device failure. Failures caused by operation of the pump without water -
“dry”, or without flow are not subject to warranty repairs.
2

The device is not adjusted to pump caustic, flammable, destructive or explosive
substances (e.g. petrol, nitro, oil, etc.), foodstuffs or salty water. Failures caused by
pumping of liquids other than pure water are not subject to warranty repairs.
The maximal temperature of the pumped water is 35oC.
The device is not adjusted to pump water containing excessive amounts of mineral
elements causing deposition of scale on the pumping elements. Operation in such
conditions results in premature wear and tear of the operating elements of the pump.
In such a case, only paid repair of the pump is available.
DEVICE INSTALLATION:
The device must be installed in a closed ventilated room, on levelled horizontal plane.
The room must be selected in such a manner, so that the device is not exposed to high
levels of humidity or frost.
It is prohibited to expose the device to impact of atmospheric factors (rain, snow).
Operation in such conditions as too high humidity levels can result in electrocution
hazard or failure of the motor or pressure switch. In case of such a failure, only paid
repair is available.
The power supply for the pump or booster set must be 230V/50Hz, with earthing.
The suction pipe must be connected to the pump by means of the suction port, using a
flexible non-collapsible hose (hose available for purchase from the guarantor), so that
the pipe stress is not transferred to the pump.
NOTE: do not use anti-vibration hoses in metal plait for connection of the pump and
suction pipe. This type of hoses can be used on the pumping side of the pump. Use of
such a hose on the suction side can cause sucking it in - jamming, closing the flow
through the hose and resulting in pump operation without water flow and, thus, in a
failure. This type of damage is not subject to warranty repair.
In case of ring wells, it is necessary to install a suction rose at the end of the suction
pipe with a check valve. For bored wells, the check valve must be installed directly
over the filter.
The length of the ring well must be selected in such a manner that the check valve and
the rose are at least 30 cm under the lowest possible water level and not lower than 30
cm from the well bottom.
It must be remembered that if the suction hose emerges during operation of the pump,
it will result in leakage in the suction system, causing operation of the pump without
water flow. Results of such a failure are not subject to warranty repair.
3

The suction pipe must be tight on its entire length. Any potential leakage, e.g. on the
connections, result in air suction by the pump. In the best scenario, the pump will not
reach the declared parameters. Finally, the pump will operate without water flow,
causing its failure. Results of such a failure are not subject to warranty repair.
The direction of the suction pipe gradient must be towards the intake, so that no
syphon is present at any point that would preclude full and exact filling of the system
with water.
rior to start of the pump or booster set, fill the suction pipe and pump with water. The
prerequisite for problem-free start is full flooding of the suction pipe and hydraulic part
of the pump. The system can be flooded through the flood plug on the suction body of
the pump or through the discharge port.
CAUTION!! Starting the pump or booster set without previous flooding results in
seizure and damage to the plastic parts of the pumping parts. This can also cause
irreparable motor damage. In such a case, only paid repair is available and no
warranty repair is provided.
After flooding, the discharge port must be connected with the pumping installation. It is
recommended to use an anti-vibration hose in a metal plain (available for purchase
from the guarantor) for the purpose of connection.
ELECTRIC INSTALLATION:
The electric network used to power the device must be compliant with data provided
on the rating plate.
The device plug must be connected to a socket with earthing. The manufacturer and
guarantor are not liable for any damage to people or property resulting from lack of
proper earthing.
The yellow-green core of the connection cable is earthing.
The powering network must be equipped with an installation, overcurrent motor switch,
e.g. M611, securing the motor against overload. In order to provide maximum overload
protection for the motor, the switch must be set to maximum coil current provided on
the rating plate. The device can operate without this protection, but in case of a failure
caused by overload, the repair costs are incurred by the user.
The powering installation must be equipped with a residual current device, with rated
making current In not exceeding 30 mA. The manufacturer and guarantor are not
liable for any damage to people or property resulting from use of power supply without
a proper switch.
STARTUP AND OPERATION:
The first start must be conducted with open taps and valves in order to pump out air
particles that could be present in the installation. The start occurs after the plug is
connected to the electric network. The taps and valves can be closed after the air
particles are pumped out. If the suction installation is tight, when the tank is filled the
booster set should reach the pressure causing the pressure switch to stop the motor.
4

When the taps are open, the pressure in the installation drops until it reaches the
switch-off value, causing the pressure switch to start the motor. If the switch-on and
switch-off pressure do not meet the needs of the user, it is possible to change this
range by means of adjustment of the pressure switch. The switch-on and switch-off
pressure can be set within the range of 1.5 / 4 bar, with minimal pressure difference
between switch-on and switch-off equal to 1.5 bar. In order to perform the adjustment:
- disconnect power supply by unplugging,
- remove the screw securing the cover of the pressure switch and remove the
cover,
- adjust the switch-on pressure by means of the large (longer) adjustment screw
with a nut (screw with a spring). Turning the screw clockwise increases pressure
and anticlockwise - decreases it.
- the switch-off can be adjusted by means of adjustment of the other smaller screw
with a nut. Turning the screw clockwise increases pressure and anticlockwise -
decreases it.
The booster set is equipped with a membrane tank. The tank is pre-filled with air under
pressure of ca. 1.7-2 bar. The best tank capacity is obtained when the initial pressure
in the tank is set to 0.2 bar lower than the switch-on pressure set on the pressure
switch. To pump or discharge air from the tank, use the valve - a vent identical to
those used in car wheels, located in the rear part of the tank. The air pressure in the
tank must be checked at least once every 3 months during continuous use or at the
beginning of the spring-summer season if the booster set is used in a recreational plot
or when excessively frequent switch-on of the pump is found (more frequently than
usual). The air pressure in the tank can be checked when the booster set is unplugged
and the tap is open. When the water pressure in the installation drops to zero, the air
pressure in the tank must be checked with a manometer used for pressure tests in car
wheels, placing it near the vent in the rear part of the tank. If the air pressure is too
low, it must be filled with a car pump. In no case can the air pressure in the tank
exceed 3 bar or be lower than 1 bar. Note: the manometer installed at booster set
shows water pressure in the installation, not the air pressure in the tank.
CAUTION!! Booster pump operation without air in the tank can cause an overload,
resulting in motor failure. Too low or excessive (over 3 bar) pressure in the tank
causes frequent switch-on and off of the booster pump. The motor is much more
loaded during start-up than in continuous operation. Excessively frequent switching on
and off that occur in case of improper air pressure in the tank can cause failures the
results of which are not subject to warranty repairs.
Inspection and filling of the air pressure in the tank are responsibility of the user.
In case of use of Multi1300 INOX pumps, the condition of the filter must be checked
periodically (at least once every two months). Soiled filter dampens the water flow. In
extreme cases, the pump suction can be chocked and it will operate without flow
which results in device failure.

STORAGE:
The pump and booster set must be protected against frost. All and any damage
resulting from frost is not subject to warranty repair.
If the device is placed in a non-heated room in the winter season and it is not used, it
must be disassembled and the water inside it must be drained. Due to the fact that
some water may remain in the pump, it is recommended to store the device in a room
with positive temperature.
If the pump or booster set is not used for a period exceeding one day, it must be
unplugged. It must be remembered that in case of absence of the household
residents, any leakage that can occur in the home water system or suction installation
will result in booster pump switching on which can lead to flooding of the house or, in
case of leakage in the suction installation - to pump failure.
Damage resulting from installation leakage are not subject to warranty repairs.
QB-60, WZ, WZ, WZC, WZCH, WZI type pumps require unclogging after a standstill
period without water. Clogging results from sticking of the rotor to the housing due to
the water sediments resulting from evaporation. In order to unclog the pump, move the
pump shaft before starting the device. To facilitate this, insert a flat screwdriver in the
shaft slit visible in the central part of the fan casing. If unclogging by means of a
screwdriver is impossible, remove three screws securing the rotor casing, remove the
cover revealing the rotor and turn it several times.
DEVICE DISPOSAL:
The used product is subject to disposal as wastes only in selective waste collection
systems organised by the Netowrk of Communal Electric and Electronic Waste
Collection Centres. The customer is entitled to return the used equipment to the
network of the electric equipment distributor, at least for free and directly, if the
returned device is of proper type and fulfils the same function as a newly purchased
device.
