FA - Flow activated pump system
Flow activated technology - unbeatable reliability, comfort and security
|
Flow activated unloader technology is based on the traditional KEW systems – tried and tested over more than 35 years. The start and stop impulses for the motor are created by the movement of water – and not by a drop or increase in pump pressure.
This unique system offers several advantages, especially user comfort and safety, when the machine runs in by-pass mode:
|
• |
Hose is easier to move around and the absence of pressure offers a higher level of safety |
| • |
Increased lifetime: With the flow activated unloader, small leaks will not cause motor start-stops |
| • |
Easily serviced system with good access to key components |
| • |
Low pressure at the pump head |

NOTE: on hot water machines with flow unloader, the break tank is no longer sufficient to comply fully with water by laws EN1717 – as a by-pass around the break tank is made for the startup flow. In this case, it is recommended to also use an approved BA valve.
