A domestic waterworks has numerous advantages. However, if it no longer switches itself off, action must be taken as quickly as possible. Missing repairs can make the problem worse and increase costs.
causes
The permanently running domestic waterworks can have various causes.
z. B .:
- a leak in the line or a leaky connection
- Incorrect settings on the pressure switch or the pressure monitor
- Faults or damage to the pressure switch or the pressure monitor
- Delivery line is too deep
- dirty filters
- Problems with the foot valve
In order to find the respective reason, the domestic waterworks must be carefully checked so that all possible problems can be excluded.
Leaking pipe
If there is a leak in the line, air is also drawn in. This allows the delivery rate for the
corresponding pressure cannot be reached and the domestic water system runs continuously. The easiest way to find problems with the line is during the reinstallation.Subsequent sealing usually only makes sense if the connection is loose. If there is a hole or crack in the line, a complete replacement is advisable. This measure should be carried out by professionals as it is a difficult task.
Settings and errors
If the pressure switch or the pressure monitor is set incorrectly, the delivery pressure does not match the delivery depth and the demand, and the domestic waterworks works without interruption. Because the pump then does not manage to build up the necessary pressure.
Therefore, the settings must be determined depending on the water column. This potential
The problem can be avoided if the initial setting is carried out by a specialist or if adjusted calculations are carried out. Manufacturers provide corresponding information in the instructions for use.Note: However, even with correct settings, the pressure switch and pressure monitor may not function properly. This is due to manufacturing errors and damage. However, soiling can also be responsible.
Deep delivery line
This problem occurs more frequently when the delivery line of the domestic waterworks reaches very deep into the ground. On the one hand, the pump output must be matched to this. On the other hand, the settings must be adapted accordingly.
A typical problem that results in the system running continuously is a pump that is not designed for the depth of the delivery line. If the output is too low, the corresponding amount of water cannot be pumped, which means that there is no shutdown.
Tip: Calculations before the purchase for the achievement of the respective water column through the necessary performance of the domestic waterworks are ideally carried out by a specialist. This avoids errors.
Dirty filters
So that no coarse contamination can penetrate the domestic waterworks system, it is equipped with a filter
Mistake. However, it can become so clogged or clogged over time that only a small amount of water is sucked in. This means that the pump has to run for a longer period of time in order to achieve the set delivery rate.The problem can be solved by checking the filter regularly and cleaning it if necessary. This also ensures that the function is not restricted. In addition, this measure can prevent further difficulties and damage.
Prevent
Regular maintenance and checks should be carried out to prevent the domestic waterworks from being switched off. This allows grievances to be identified at an early stage. This has several advantages. These include:
- Replacement of worn or defective parts
- less effort for any repairs
- Costs are lower
- Cleaning dirty sections
- Lubricate if necessary
- Checking and adjusting the settings can be carried out at the same time
Tip: Having the maintenance done by professionals may seem expensive at first. In the medium and long term, however, it saves money, as errors are rectified at an early stage, thus reducing power consumption and eliminating the costs of a more comprehensive replacement.
