1. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of Bianco Pumpz pump. Bianco Series 2 offers performance, reliability and dependability. This manual is for the Jet types Inox (stainless steel) and Ferro (cast iron) pumps as well as for the PTF (peripheral turbine type) model.
5. Warnings Read the manual carefully before starting and retain for future reference. Prior to starting installation or any maintenance the pump must be disconnected from the power supply and pressure relieved from the system including controller, pump and associated pipework. Any changes or modification to the wiring must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
5.1 Cautions 5.1.1 Protect the pump and controller from rain and moisture and minimise exposure to extremes of heat and cold. Operating range 2 C - 40 5.1.2 The pump is designed for use with clean water. Contamination including sand or mineral deposits may affect the operation of the pump and controller.
8. Electrical Connections Always use an electrical outlet that is protected by Residual Current Device (RCD) Safety Switch with a trip current of 30mA or less. A Safety Switch is required by Australian/New Zealand Standard AU/NZS 60335.1-2011. The pump is supplied with a 10 amp rated lead and AS/NZ 3112 (Type I) 3 pin male power plug for connecting to mains power.
9. General installation notes Review Section 5 - Warnings and 5.1 - Cautions prior to installing Choose a pump location with a firm base as close to your water source as possible and close to a suitable power supply. Avoid extension cords. If an extension cord must be used ensure it is correctly rated.
10. General intake (suction) piping notes The intake suction piping is the most critical part of the installation. Errors or air leaks will cause significant issues for performance and pump reliability. Reminders of best practice: Pipe size must be equal to or larger than the Air Pocket inlet port size (see Section 13) Inlet piping as short and straight as practical...
11. Boosting mains supply or connecting to a hot water system Boosting Mains supply Connecting any of these pumps directly to mains water supply is not recommended. If mains pressure is poor, best practice is to install an isolating (break) tank. Use the guidelines in Section 12 or 13 depending whether the water from the tank will be above or below the pump inlet.
12. Water supply above the pump inlet (flooded suction) Review SECTION 6 and 6.1 (Warnings and Cautions) prior to installation Reminders of best practice Fit a valve to isolate the tank If the suction line is quite long fit another valve close by the pump Non Return Valve in suction line recommended Avoid pipework which could trap air Potential air trap...
13. Water supply below the pump inlet (suction lift) not recommended for suction lift applications Reminders of best practice Suction pipes drawing upwards more than 1m require a foot valve and an intake screen. Ensure there is at least 300m of water above the intake at all times. Keep the intake screen at least 100mm above the bottom of the tank or well Avoid pipework which could trap air.
14. Priming and Operation Bianco Inxo and Ferro pumps are “self-priming” but this still means that the pump and delivery line MUST be manually primed (filled) before the pump is started for the first time to ensure the mechanical seal is well lubricated. Dry operation causes irreparable damage to the mechanical seal.
