Frequently Asked Questions
Can these pumps be connected directly to municipal water?
No. These booster pumps must be supplied from a water storage tank or header tank. Direct connection to municipal water supply is not recommended and can cause dry-run problems, poor performance and possible pump damage.
What is the benefit of a VSD booster pump?
A VSD booster pump automatically adjusts motor speed according to water demand. This helps maintain constant pressure, reduces power usage and gives smoother starting and stopping.
What voltage do these pumps require?
The VFI8-40 can be used on 220V or 380V input power. The VFI12-40B is a 220V single phase model.
Which pump is better, the VFI8-40 or VFI12-40B?
The correct pump depends on the required flow and pressure. The VFI8-40 has a higher pressure range, while the VFI12-40B has a larger 2 inch inlet and outlet and is suited to higher flow applications.
