HYDROPHORE: TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MANUAL STARTING

Hydrophore manual starting: 

• Close the outlet valve .
• Fill the tank with water to half guage glass level.
• Open charging air valve and charge the air so that the pressure inside become slightly more than cut off pressure. 
• By this time motor starting should be in manual mode 
• Change the motor to auto and open discharge valve 
• When valve is opened the water will rush to pipeline and the pressure inside the tank will drop. Now Check that pump cuts in, the water starts filling in the tank and air compresses and pressure inside the tank increases. Now check whether the pump cuts out on required pressure or not. 

 TROUBLE SHOOTING

• No water coming in taps

Either there is no water in tank . This may be because the fresh water tank have become empety. In this case change over the tank.

Secondly air valve might be leaking. This will cause the air to push out all the water in tank since pressure will also not come down since air pressure is higher so the pump will also not cut in. So when taps are open air will come out with sound. Also air bottle will be empty and pressure of tank will be higher than normal.

• Short cycling and is frequent cutting in and cutting out.

This shows that the air in the tank is less because if less air is there then this air pressure will fall more for less level drop of water . So pump will cut in early . Again pump will fill that less amount of water early so cuts out early

REASON FOR LESS AMOUNT OF AIR.

• Any air leakage 
• During charging the air was charged after filling the tank to high level
• Less gap between cut in and cut off point.

Pump running continuously 

If pressure inside the tank is not getting  up which will be due to complete loss of air in tank.
