The pressure switch for the pump is a very effective monitoring equipment that is mounted in the water supply system. Most often, the device is installed in order to prevent the occurrence of the so-called dry running of the pumping station. However, it also has other positive qualities that make it popular.
Product Advantages
Among the advantages that a pressure switch for a pump has are the following:
- efficiency (the presented device regulates the water supply and the proper operation of the pumping equipment);
- practicality (the relay can be installed on any type of pump);
- durability (due to high-quality materials, the presented device rarely breaks);
- accessibility (you can purchase it at any plumbing store, while the cost of the product is low);
- A fairly simple installation and configuration procedure;
- high-quality automation, which allows you to turn off the pump if there is too much or insufficient fluid pressure.
The presented device not only allows you to optimally use the water supply system, but also increases its service life, which means it saves you money.
The principle of operation and features of the device
The pressure switch for the pump has a fairly simple structure. Inside the plastic or metal case, springs are installed, the adjustment of which is carried out by special nuts. There is also a membrane in it, through which pressure is transmitted inside the relay. The springs regulate the operation of the pump.
The principle of operation of this device is also quite simple. First of all, you should adjust the springs, that is, set the required pressure value. Further in the process, they turn on the device as necessary, that is, if the pressure has not yet reached the set point. When the springs are closed, current flows into the pump, and it starts active work.
How to install and configure the device?
In order for the pressure switch for the pump to work effectively, it must be installed correctly. You can do this yourself, since this process is not at all complicated. First you need to install a check valve in front of the suction. The
water pressure switch for the pump is mounted on top, in front of the pressure hose.
Setting up the device is a delicate procedure, during which you should be careful and accurate. To get started, remove the device cover so that you have access to the springs. Pressure is regulated by a large and small nut. One of them (large) is responsible for the lower value of the indicator. Using a smaller nut, you can set the required pressure. Now the cover can be tightened. All actions must be done carefully so as not to damage the product.
The pressure switch for the pump, the connection of which is a fairly simple process, will protect your fluid transfer device from premature wear and breakage.
