Grundfos JP PT-H – booster system with horizontal tank
Grundfos JP PT-H is a ready-made booster system for automatic constant pressure water supply. The system includes a JP self-priming pump, a pressure switch, a 20-liter horizontal booster tank and a pressure gauge.
Main advantages of JP PT-H
- Ready-made hydrophore system with all necessary components.
- JP self-priming pump with suction height up to 8 m.
- Automatic start and stop via pressure switch.
- 20-liter horizontal membrane hydrophore vessel.
- Constant water supply without pressure drops.
- Fewer starts and stops at low consumption.
- Reduced water hammer in pipes.
- Pressure gauge for visual pressure check.
- Suitable for single-family and two-family houses.
- Suitable for garden watering and small agricultural applications.
- Built-in motor protection against overload and overheating.
- No additional motor protection is required.
How does the system work?
When you open a tap, the pressure in the system drops. When the set switch-on pressure (2.2 bar) is reached, the pressure switch starts the pump. Water is supplied directly from the pump and the pressure vessel.
When you close the tap, the pressure increases and when the cut-off pressure is reached, the pressure switch stops the pump. The pressure vessel maintains the pressure in the system and provides water at low consumption without starting the pump.
Applications
- Domestic water supply for single-family and two-family houses.
- Pressure boosting from a buffer or cover tank.
- Using water from a well or cistern.
- Garden watering.
- Small irrigation systems.
- Small commercial and agricultural applications.
Advantages of the hydrophore vessel
- Reduces the number of pump starts and stops.
- Provides water at low consumption without starting the pump.
- Reduces the risk of water hammer in pipes.
- Improves the comfort of water supply.
- Extends the service life of the pump.
Suitable liquids
- Clean fresh water.
- Rainwater without solid particles.
- Clean, thin and non-aggressive liquids.
- Non-toxic and non-explosive liquids.
Installation guidelines
- The system can be installed indoors or outdoors.
- For outdoor installation, provide protection against sun, rain, snow and frost.
- Place the system as close to the water source as possible.
- Provide free space for cooling and servicing.
- Mount the system on a stable horizontal base.
- Avoid air pockets, especially on the suction side.
- When suctioning from a well or tank, install a non-return valve with a suction strainer.
- For rainwater or well water, use an additional filter at the inlet.
