Today running the Grundfos for nearly 1 hours plus non stop (maybe occasionally stop for few mins). Dam powerful, I think the bidet hose will push your ass up to the ceiling, especially the ground floor.

QUOTE(zheilwane @ Oct 16 2011, 10:13 PM) Yup, it is DAMN powerful and you can now enjoy ur shower to the max. For bidet, just turn ur angle valve to half den it should b OK d. Btw, how is the noise level? If in my first floor living room can hear the hummmmm sound la, but think is just getting used to it. In the room is ok, ground floor also bit of hummmm but is ok. Think I will install a timer for morning auto on, and bypass timer on the switch too.

QUOTE(kochin @ Oct 17 2011, 04:23 PM) zean, question: 1. when all taps/showers are off, when we flick on the switch to the pump, how long do we expect the pump to run before turning completely silent? would the pump turn completely silent in the first place? 2. if the pump still runs, what do we do?  3. if the pump do not run, is it advisable to leave it on at all time? or just run it whenever we want to take shower only? thanks. 1. About 5 sec or maybe 10. Depend how fast the pipe pressure build up. If tap is on ground floor it will take longer time. 2. If pump run, mean somewhere is leaking or if it run for few sec and stop and few mins later run again mean some small leak. 3. Better off it when you go work, or maybe long break. Cause if hose break, you pump will run full time pumping water out for no reason.

QUOTE(kochin @ Oct 17 2011, 05:07 PM) thanks weikee. back to my Q1, is it meant to be totally silent as in the pump totally not running when all taps are off after a short while? or do we still hear a humming sound? reason that i'm asking is i recall my in law place always have a noticable sound whenever the pump switch is on. but so far so good, no problem on dampness of any wall. been some time already. Q2. what do we do? A3. noted.  It will switch off. No sound at all if pump not running. 2. Find the leak and fix loh.

QUOTE(xsi @ Oct 28 2011, 09:41 AM) the grundfos for 1k is it the model that continuously running or the unit with the tank on top ....dunno what it called... That one is with air storage tank. Is more expensive. Good the pump won't start for short water usage. Bad it need air refill after one to two years usage.

Few things you need to make sure 01) Pump is sitting on a secure surface 02) Pump is sitting on the anti vibration map 03) The outgoing pipe from the pump need to be fully secure. My contractor actually screw / nail the outgoing pipe to a wood where the wood are secure to the roof truss. 04) A good pump of course  I am using grundfos, i don't hear hammer sound. Sound sure got when the pump is on, is not loud, and it won't wake you up during sleep

Sound like the boiler inlet are not from pump, that is why you get low pressure for hot water.

QUOTE(lizziewong @ Jan 10 2012, 04:56 PM) Yes, I realise this is a possibility after looking at the drawing updated by Zane!!!!! I read you also switch on the pump 24/7? Is actually recommend to put the on/off switch inside to only switch on when require.

QUOTE(JinXXX @ Jan 10 2012, 07:36 PM) the pump can be on 24/7 cause there is a pressure switch.. Yes, it can. But since it have MTBF, if simple brushing teeth, flush toilet don't need so high pressure can use it longer loh.

QUOTE(JinXXX @ Mar 11 2012, 11:48 AM) regarding the NRV , how good is the "seal" ? usually the pump pressure is higher than incoming.. one.. if the NRV seal isn't good.. the meter run terbalik and get no water at all ? or its somehow equalize ? cause im planning to do a "auto-bypass" for pump when got power trip/no electric.. Unless you have frequent disruption, if not doing auto things will complicate and cause more problem. A manual by pass is much better, or just have a big azz tank up the roof.

QUOTE(ray01 @ Mar 14 2012, 09:01 PM) I am using the Grundfos PC model, without the accumulator tank. The pump is sure vv powerful to 4 Bath. Just want to ask. How do I reduce the water hamering when the pump cut in/out. worried if the ABS piping leak. Can I install the accumulator tank (From PT) on my PC model pump to reduce the intial pressure? Too frequent pump on/off, even if I open the tap. Hope you can advise me how to modify if can help to reduce the sudden pressure surge. I am using water pump. Many people warm me of hammering sound, and Zzzzzing sound when pump is running. When the pump is running I will only notice the Zzzzzing sound if I am on the first floor living hall, the pump is around that area, is just like sound of a normal ceiling Fan at low speed. Did not notice hammering too. Please secure your piping after the pump. My contractor used lots of wood, securing on the roof truss, than secure the pipe very long way.

QUOTE(stevie8 @ Mar 16 2012, 09:49 AM) The service is to refill the air pressure like car tire pressure it will lose air pressure. You shouild do it yourself like tires are you going to ask mechanic to do it for you? Only once a yr ma. Use a manual pump/bycicle pump. just shut the incoming main to the pump and let go the water from your bathroom and empty it where the pipe from the pump to the outlets pressure is zero then you pump the tank to the desire pressure by using a tire pressure guage buy from car accesories shop. Buy a mini compressor

Since your pump also need power, Use your pump socket.
