MQ

Application
The MQ pump is designed for water supply and pressure boosting ... homes cabbins, cottages on farms as well as gardens The pump is suitable for pumping of potable water and rain water.

Features and benefits

Complete system The MQ is a complete, all-in-one unit, incorporating pump, motor, diaphragm tank, pressure and flow sensor, controller and check valve. The controller ensures that the pump starts automatically when water is consumed and stops automatically when the consumption ceases. In addition, the controller protects the pump in case of faults. Installation Due to its compact design, the pump does not take up much space and is easy to install. No space around the pump is required. Simple operation The pump features a user-friendly control panel with ON/OFF button and indicator lights for indication of the operational state of the pump. Self-priming pump As it is self-priming, the MQ is able to pump water from a level below the pump. Provided it is filled with water, the pump is able to lift water from a depth of 26 ft (8 m) in less than 5 minutes. This facilitates installation and startup of the pump and provides more reliable water supply in installations where there is a risk of dry running and leakages in suction hose or pipes. Built-in protective functions If exposed to dry running, excessive temperature, or any overload condition the pump will stop automatically, thus preventing a motor burnout. Automatic reset The pump features an automatic reset function. In case of dry running or similar alarm, the pump will stop. Restarting will be attempted every 30 minutes for a period of 24 hours. The reset function can be deactivated. Low noise level Thanks to its hydraulic design and internal cooling, the pump is very quiet, which makes it suitable for many applications. Pressure tank The built-in pressure tank reduces the number of starts and stops in case of leakages in the pipe system, causing less wear on the pump. Maintenance No maintenance of the pump is required.
