Backup Water Solutions
Product Information:
The Backup Water Solutions is a system designed for household
use, providing a backup water supply. It includes various
components to suit different needs and water sources. The system
can be automated with additional components for better
management.
The basic components included in the system are as follows:
- Tank: A slimline tank (750/1,000 liters for small-scale
solution, 2,700 liters for medium-scale solution, or 5,250 liters
for large-scale solution) is provided to store the backup
water. - Concrete Slab: A concrete slab is included to support the
tank. - Pipes and Plumbing: Necessary pipes and plumbing fittings are
provided for water flow and connection. - Float Valve Kit: A float valve kit is included to control the
water level in the tank and prevent overflow. - Pump: A booster pump (0.37kW for small-scale solution, 0.75kW
VSD pump for medium-scale solution, or 1.5kW VSD pump for
large-scale solution) is provided to pump water from the source to
the tank. - Pump Cover: A cover is included to protect the pump from
external elements.
For an automated system, additional components such as gate
valves (to isolate components) and non-return valves (to prevent
back pressure) are required.
The system can be customized based on individual preferences and
setup.
Product Usage Instructions:
1. Determine the scale of the solution required based on your
household needs and water consumption.
2. Choose the appropriate tank size (750/1,000 liters for
small-scale solution, 2,700 liters for medium-scale solution, or
5,250 liters for large-scale solution) and ensure a suitable
location for installation.
3. Prepare a concrete slab to support the tank and ensure
stability.
4. Install the necessary pipes and plumbing fittings to connect
the water source to the tank.
5. Attach the float valve kit to the tank to control the water
level and prevent overflow.
6. Install the pump (0.37kW for small-scale solution, 0.75kW VSD
pump for medium-scale solution, or 1.5kW VSD pump for large-scale
solution) to pump water from the source to the tank.
7. Cover the pump with the provided pump cover to protect it
from external elements.
8. If desired, add additional components like gate valves and
non-return valves to create an automated system for better
management.
Note: Installation guidelines can be found in the water storage
solutions section on our website. The setup and additional
requirements may vary for each installation.
