Domestic waterworks IBO AJ / 50l

Product detailed description

Domestic water pumps are essential components in residential and small commercial buildings where water pressure needs to be maintained or boosted. These systems are commonly found in homes, small offices, and workshops where the municipal water supply may not be sufficient. The AQUA OLA IBO AJ / 50l is designed for such applications, providing reliable performance in low-pressure or low-flow conditions. Installers working on plumbing systems often encounter situations where a secondary pump is required to ensure consistent water delivery to fixtures and appliances. This pump is suitable for integration into existing systems or as a standalone unit in new installations.

When selecting a domestic water pump, it is important to consider the required flow rate and head. The AQUA OLA IBO AJ / 50l is designed to handle a wide range of hydraulic conditions, making it suitable for both single and multi-storey buildings. It is particularly useful in systems where water is stored in tanks or cisterns and needs to be pumped to higher levels or distributed to multiple points of use. The pump is also suitable for use in irrigation systems that require a steady supply of pressurised water.

The pump is rated for a maximum flow rate of 60 l/min and a head of 50 m. These parameters are critical for determining the suitability of the pump for a given installation. A flow rate of 60 l/min is sufficient for most domestic applications, including supplying water to multiple fixtures simultaneously. The 50 m head rating means the pump can lift water to a height of 50 m or push it through a system with equivalent friction losses. These values should be compared with the hydraulic requirements of the installation to ensure proper sizing and performance.

Installation and connection

Installation of the AQUA OLA IBO AJ / 50l involves connecting the pump to the water supply and electrical system. The pump is supplied with a 1 m inlet cable, which should be connected to the water source using a suitable coupling. The pump is designed for 230 V operation, so it must be connected to a properly grounded electrical circuit. The dimensions of the pump are 77 x 71 x 41 cm, so sufficient space should be provided for installation and maintenance. Before starting the pump, it is important to check that the inlet and outlet connections are secure and that the system is free of air. Common installation mistakes include incorrect electrical connections, failure to prime the pump, and inadequate support for the pump housing.

Compatibility and accessories

The AQUA OLA IBO AJ / 50l is compatible with standard domestic plumbing systems and can be integrated with pressure tanks, flow regulators, and control systems. To ensure proper operation, it is recommended to install a pressure switch and a pressure tank to regulate the pump's operation and reduce cycling. Additional accessories such as check valves, filters, and pressure gauges may also be required depending on the system configuration. These components help to protect the pump from damage and ensure stable water pressure. As the pump is designed for domestic use, it is not recommended for use with non-potable water or in industrial applications.

Technical background for designers

The AQUA OLA IBO AJ / 50l operates on the principle of centrifugal pumping, where the impeller creates a pressure differential to move water through the system. The pump is constructed from durable materials that are resistant to corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term reliability. The 230 V electrical system provides sufficient power for the pump to operate efficiently under normal conditions. When designing a system, it is important to consider the hydraulic characteristics of the installation, including the required flow rate, head, and pipe friction losses. These factors will determine the pump's performance and energy consumption. The pump's efficiency is also influenced by the quality of the electrical supply and the condition of the plumbing system.

Service and operation

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the continued performance of the AQUA OLA IBO AJ / 50l. The pump should be inspected periodically for signs of wear, leakage, or electrical issues. The inlet and outlet connections should be checked for tightness, and the pump should be cleaned if necessary. The electrical system should also be inspected to ensure that the connections are secure and that the pump is operating within the specified voltage range. If the pump shows signs of reduced performance, such as lower flow rate or increased noise, it may require servicing or replacement of internal components. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, so maintenance should be carried out based on the condition of the pump and the requirements of the installation.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AQUA OLA IBO AJ / 50l be connected to a pressure tank?
Yes, the pump can be connected to a pressure tank to regulate the water pressure and reduce the frequency of pump cycling. A pressure switch is recommended to control the pump's operation.

What is the maximum height the pump can lift water?
The pump has a head of 50 m, meaning it can lift water to a height of 50 m or push it through a system with equivalent friction losses.

Is the pump suitable for use with non-potable water?
No, the pump is designed for domestic use with potable water. It is not recommended for use with non-potable water or in industrial applications.

What is the length of the inlet cable?
The pump is supplied with a 1 m inlet cable, which should be connected to the water source using a suitable coupling.
