1. Introduction

The MQ is a low-noise water supply system

consisting of pump, motor, pressure tank and

controller combined into one compact unit.

The system is suitable for both indoor and out-

door use.

The self-priming pump starts automatically

when water is consumed in the installation and

stops when consumption ceases. The internal,

built-in non-return valve prevents backflow

during priming and operation.

The MQ pump incorporates overtemperature

and dry-running protection as well as a user-

friendly control panel.

The built-in pressure tank reduces the number

of starts and stops in case of leakage in the

installation.

4. Applications

The MQ water supply system is designed for

these typical applications:

• water pressure boosting

(maximum inlet pressure: 40 psi)

• water supply from wells (maximum suction

lift: 25 ft), for example

– in private homes

– on farms

– in market gardens and other large gar-

dens.

The pump is suitable for rain water.

4.1 Pumped liquids

Thin, clean, non-aggressive liquids, not con-

taining solid particles or fibres.

WARNING

If these safety instructions are not

observed, it may result in personal

injury!

Caution

If these safety instructions are not

observed, it may result in malfunc-

tion or damage to the equipment!

Note

Notes or instructions that make

the job easier and ensure safe

operation.

tion pipe must not exceed 72 ft.

7. Mechanical installation

7.1 Location

The pump is suitable for indoor and outdoor

installation. It is resistant to sunlight.

7.2 Foundation

Mount the pump on the base plate with hori-

zontal suction port and vertical discharge port.

The pump must be installed horizontally.

The maximum permissible inclination angle is

± 18 °. See fig. 2.

Fig. 2 Horizontal installation of the MQ

To prevent movement and vibrations, the

pump and base plate can be secured to a solid

foundation by means of the bolt holes in the

base plate. For pipework connection, see sec-

tion 7.4 Pipework.

7.3 Space requirement

For inspection and service, allow a minimum

clearance of 60" behind the pump.

Fig. 3 Minimum clearance behind the

pump

Being self-cooling, the pump requires no

space or ventilation at the sides.

7.4 Pipework

The pump is supplied with 1" NPT screwed

connections. Fit the connections in the suction

and discharge ports. See fig. 4. The pump dis-

charge port is flexible, ± 5 °, to facilitate the fit-

ting.

Fig. 4 Fitting of screwed connections in

suction and discharge ports

Note

For outdoor installation, the pump

must be fitted with a protective

cover (accessory). See section

7.5 Protective cover and

13. Accessories.

Note

Should the unlikely event of an

internal leakage occur, pumped

liquid will be drained out from the

base and/or end cover instead of

damaging the pump. Install the

pump in such a way that no unde-

sirable collateral damage can

arise.

Max. ± 18 °

TM04 3746 5008

Note

Ensure that the maximum ambient

temperatures do not exceed the

values stated in section

6. Operating conditions.

Note

Never use unnecessary force

when connecting the pipes.

Carefully screw the discharge connection into

the discharge port, using a spanner or similar

tool. Hold the discharge connection, and

tighten the pump discharge union nut with your

hand. See fig. 5.

Fig. 5 Correct: Tighten the discharge

union nut with your hand

Fig. 6 Wrong: Do not use a tool to tighten

the discharge union nut

7.4.1 Suction pipes connected to a well

If the pump draws water from a well, we rec-

ommend to fit a foot valve to the end of the

suction pipe. See fig. 7.

Fig. 7 Suction pipes connected to a well

7.4.2 Suction hose instead of pipe

If a suction hose is used instead of a pipe, the

hose should not exceed the lengths stated in

the graph, page 62. The suction hose must be

minimum Ø1". The hose must be of the non-

collapsible type.

7.4.3 Long suction pipes

A separate non-return inlet valve is supplied

with the pump. In case of long suction pipes,

we recommend to fit the non-return inlet valve

in the pump suction port. See section

7.4.4 Fitting of the non-return inlet valve

The pipes must be adequately supported on

either side of the pump to avoid straining the

pump connections.

7.4.4 Fitting of the non-return inlet valve

The non-return inlet valve reduces the risk of

losing pump priming in negative suction appli-

cations and improves the auto-aspiration

capability, for example in water supply from a

cistern.

Install the non-return inlet valve as follows,

see fig. 8:

1. Remove the suction connection of the

pump.

2. Fit the non-return inlet valve into the suc-

tion port in the direction shown in fig. 8.

3. Refit the pump connection.

Fig. 8 Fitting of non-return inlet valve

TM04 4271 1009TM 044272 1009TM01 9693 2600

Foot valve

Note

Applications with positive inlet

pressure do not require installa-

tion of the non-return inlet valve,

due to the fact that the MQ pump

incorporates an internal non-

return valve at the discharge side.

7.5 Protective cover

The protective cover protects the control panel

against the weather. It is available as an

accessory. See section 13. Accessories.

To fit the protective cover, click the cover onto

the top of the control panel so that it engages

with the top cooling ribs.

To remove the cover, pull the two clips out-

wards, free of the cooling ribs, and pull the

cover upwards.

Fig. 9 Protective cover

Note

Failure to use the protective cover

in outdoor installations will invali-

date the warranty.
