Grundfos Pressure Booster 18 GPM 1 HP 115 V # MQ3-45-115 (C) <br>

Grundfos low pressure electric booster pump system. MQ All-In-One Home Water Supply Pump. "Whisper Quiet Operation". Specially designed for domestic applications where low noise is a major consideration. The pump is water cooled which so a noisy cooling fan is eliminated.



Up to 5 water outlets can be operated at the same time without substantially reducing performance, assuming an average delivery of 3 GPM at 30 PSI and a 15 ft. suction lift.

Specifications

Applications: Domestic water supply. Pressure boosting from well or city. Automatic water transfer.

  • Do not exceed a total system unregulated pressure of 109 PSI..
  • The total system pressure will be the incoming city pressure plus the maximum output pressure from the data above.
  • The maximum allowable city pressure for this unit is 50 PSI. Use a regulating valve in the suction side as required.
  • Use a regulating valves in the discharge line so that the regulated does not exceed 75 PSI to prevent pipe damage.
  • Before installing the system, be sure that your city flow meter can handle the maximum flow requirement.

Questions & Answers

What causes the MQ to start?
The pump will start when the flow rate is greater than 0.3 gpm OR the pressure is below 29 psi.
What causes the MQ to stop?
The pump will shut off in 12-15 seconds after flow stops. Additionally, the MQ will be turned off in the event of a dry-run or over temperature alarm.
What is the maximum height recommended between the MQ and any tap?
To allow for the pressure of 50 ft of water, tolerances and a safety margin, Grundfos recommends a maximum height of 50 ft between the MQ and any tap
What is the purpose of the built-in pressure tank?
It is designed to minimize motor startup due to small leaks.
How is the dry-run condition determined?
The dry-run alarm is declared when the motor is running AND the flow rate is less than 0.3 gpm and when the pressure is less than the pressure switch setting.
What is the maximum inlet pressure allowed in the MQ?
The maximum inlet pressure for the MQ3-35 is 50 psi…..The maximum inlet pressure for the MQ 3-45 is 40 psi The inlet pressure plus the MQ boosted pressure must not exceed 109 psi.
Where can a pressure gauge be easily installed?
In the ˝" straight thread opening used to add priming water to the pump.
