Cleaning pumps
Cleaning pumps in this category are designed for the removal of sediment, scale, and debris from heating, plumbing, and water treatment systems. These units are commonly used in system maintenance, pre-commissioning, and flushing operations to ensure clean and efficient operation. Available models include units with flow direction switches and flow monitoring capabilities for enhanced control and performance.
How to choose
- Assess the system volume and flow rate requirements to select a pump with an appropriate capacity (e.g., 13L, 24L, or 28L/min).
- Check the connection size and thread type to ensure compatibility with the system piping and fittings.
- Consider the material construction for resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure in the application environment.
- Verify if a flow switch or directional control is required for automated or controlled flushing operations.
- Ensure compatibility with the system’s electrical supply and control setup before installation.
Frequently asked questions
Can a cleaning pump be used with a closed-loop heating system?
Yes, provided the pump is compatible with the system pressure and flow requirements and installed with appropriate isolation valves.
What is the purpose of a flow direction switch on a cleaning pump?
A flow direction switch allows the operator to reverse the flow of water during flushing, aiding in the removal of stubborn deposits and ensuring thorough cleaning.
