Title: booster pump help please tec guys
Post by: Andy@w.c.s on May 21, 2011, 02:52:42 pm
I have today tried to put my mates booster pump on his system but it has made no differents to the pressure at all here are some pics (http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj186/zwizard1/utf-8BSU1HMDAzMTItMjAxMTA1MjEtMTMzMy5qcGc.jpg)
(http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj186/zwizard1/utf-8BSU1HMDAzMTAtMjAxMTA1MjEtMTMzMi5qcGc.jpg)
Now the problem is that it is running slow like it needs a flow controler to speed it up.
 
Its wired into a 24v transformer /
I seem to remember that the one i had years a go was wired straight in to the mains
can i do that with this one? And will it make it run faster if i do or will i blow it up  
can any one tell me if for a start he has the right pump?

Thanks guys
Andy

You cannot wire strait in the mains you will kill the pump as mains is 230/240 volt and your pump is 24 volt as previously said adjust the screw switch . the think that I CAN SEE THAT MIGHT A PROBLEM IS THE PUMP DELIVERS LESS THAT I LITRE PER MINUTE, Which ro do you have .My pump only increases pressure by 15 psi but it does make a difference.

Perhaps he just needs a new membrane
