The principle of operation of ASV-370/20Ch

The pressure switch of the pumping station turns on the pump when the water pressure drops to 1.5 bar, and turns it off when the pressure reaches 3.0 bar. The pressure values for turning on and off the electric pump are factory set and are optimal for shut-off valves, as well as for dishwashers, washing machines and other equipment.

The electric motor of the pumping station VORTEX ASV-370/20CH is asynchronous, single-phase with a squirrel-cage rotor. The pump with built-in ejector combines the advantages of centrifugal pumps with the practicality of self-priming pumps. The body of the pump part is made of glass-filled polypropylene with embedded elements made of brass for rigidity, as well as cast iron and stainless steel. To eliminate wear of threaded connections, the inlet and outlet holes have a metal thread. The hydraulic accumulator of the unit serves to accumulate water under pressure and smooth out water hammer. It consists of a steel tank with a replaceable membrane and has a pneumatic valve for pumping compressed air.

Repair and Troubleshooting

All of the above models of this brand are durable, but not immune from premature breakdowns. The most common is the continuous operation of the pump, which does not turn off even when the consumption of water from the system stops.

There may be several reasons why the Whirlwind pumping station does not turn off. The main ones are:

malfunctions with the pressure switch;
depressurization of the water supply or water leakage in the device itself;
failure of the electrical circuit;
too low or high voltage in the network;
failure of the factory settings of the emergency valve.

Timely diagnosis is the main key to long-term and successful operation of equipment. And it, in turn, is impossible without the responsible implementation of the operating instructions, which this manufacturer compiled in a language accessible to a wide range of consumers.

For owners of private houses, dachas, multi-storey cottages, farms, the issue of water supply is acute. An excellent solution to this problem, as practice shows, is the installation of a pumping station.

A pumping station is a structure that organizes an individual water pressure system with a constant pressure of clean water, suitable for all domestic needs. The device provides water supply from open reservoirs, wells, wells, main water pipelines. Maintaining the desired pressure in the water supply is due to a modern automatic system.

Reviews

Based on numerous positive user reviews, we can conclude that the Whirlwind pumping stations are high-quality products. They have a long operational period, although breakdowns still happen. The most common problem that buyers write about in reviews is that even after stopping water consumption, the unit does not turn off.

There can be many reasons why this happens, but the main ones are:

breakage of spare parts (tubes, for example);
failure of the pressure switch;
failure of the electrical circuit;
voltage fluctuations in the mains;
failure of the initial settings of the factory valve.

In order for the equipment to serve for a long time, and malfunctions of the water supply system do not bother the owners, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating instructions for the device. High-quality timely diagnostics is also important. If troubleshooting is required, repairs should only be carried out by a specialist.

When arranging a summer house, a private house or a farm, a person sooner or later faces the problem of water supply. An expedient solution to the problem is the installation of a modern pumping station, which will not only provide water, but also help to make a supply of liquid (thanks to a capacious water tank) in case of emergency or other unforeseen situations.

When buying a pumping station, you should pay attention to several main points.

suction depth. This takes into account the degree of remoteness of the well or well, and the points of water intake.
The amount of liquid consumed. On average, a tank of 20-24 liters is enough for 2-4 people living in a country house in the summer.
Unit power. A powerful pumping station will allow you to water the area with plantings and make a quick supply of water.
