Descaling pump Kammak PRATTIK 30

Product detailed description

Descaling pumps are essential tools for maintaining the efficiency of closed heating and cooling systems. Installers working on residential and commercial buildings often encounter limescale buildup in boilers, water heaters, heat exchangers, wall-mounted and floor-standing boilers, solar systems and refrigeration units. The accumulation of scale and corrosion products reduces heat transfer efficiency, increases energy consumption and can lead to system failure. Regular descaling using a dedicated pump helps maintain system performance and prolong equipment lifespan.

When servicing these systems, technicians must ensure complete removal of contaminants while maintaining proper flow rates and pressure levels. The PRATTIK 30 is designed to handle these requirements in medium-sized systems, providing sufficient capacity for most domestic and small commercial applications. The pump's compact dimensions and moderate weight make it suitable for installation in tight mechanical rooms or service areas.

Technical parameters

Code	KM-78009
Brand	KAMMAK

The 30L tank capacity allows for several descaling cycles without frequent refilling, while the 90L/min flow rate ensures rapid circulation of descaling solution. The 370W motor provides adequate power for medium systems, and the 1 bar maximum working pressure is suitable for standard closed-loop systems. The check valve prevents backflow during operation. These parameters are important for determining the pump's suitability for specific system sizes and configurations.Installation and connection The pump should be installed in a location that allows easy access to the system's circulation points. The 3/4 inch threaded connections require standard pipe fittings for secure attachment. Installers should verify that the system is properly isolated before connecting the pump and that all valves are in the correct position. A common mistake is incorrect orientation of the check valve, which can lead to reduced efficiency or system damage. The flexible transparent hoses included in the package should be routed carefully to avoid kinking or excessive bending that could restrict flow.Compatibility and accessories The PRATTIK 30 is compatible with most closed-loop heating and cooling systems that require descaling. The package includes two 2m long transparent PVC T60 hoses with 3/4 inch threaded couplings, suitable for temperatures up to 60°C. These hoses are designed for pressure and reverse flow operation. No additional accessories are required for basic descaling operations, but installers should ensure they have the appropriate descaling chemicals and safety equipment for the job.Technical background for designers The PRATTIK 30 operates on a simple circulation principle, using an electric motor to drive a centrifugal pump that circulates descaling solution through the system. The pump housing and internal components are constructed from materials compatible with standard descaling agents. The transparent hoses allow visual monitoring of the solution flow and any potential blockages. The pump's compact design and moderate power requirements make it suitable for integration into most service setups. The service life and efficiency depend on proper maintenance, correct chemical selection and adherence to operating pressure limits.Service and operation Regular inspection of the pump and hoses is recommended to ensure continued performance. Installers should check for signs of wear, leaks or blockages in the hoses and verify that the check valve is functioning correctly. The pump should be stored in a dry location when not in use. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical documentation, but routine maintenance is advised to maintain optimal performance.Frequently asked questions

Can the PRATTIK 30 be used with solar heating systems?
Yes, the pump is suitable for solar systems as long as the system is closed and the operating pressure does not exceed 1 bar.

What is the maximum temperature the hoses can handle?
The included PVC T60 hoses are rated for temperatures up to 60°C, making them suitable for most descaling applications.

Is the pump suitable for large commercial systems?
The 30L tank and 90L/min flow rate make it more appropriate for medium-sized systems. Larger installations may require a higher capacity pump.

Can the pump be used for both forward and reverse flow?
The check valve prevents backflow during operation, but the flexible hoses allow for directional changes in the piping layout.
