The minimum flow rate is 80 l / h (= 1.3 l / min). Do not connect
equipment with a lower flow rate.
When using the pump to increase water pressure, ensure that
the inner pressure does not exceed the maximum permissible
inner pressure of 6 bar (delivery side of the pump).
Add together the water output pressure you want to increase
and the pump pressure.
Example : Pressure at the tap 2 bar. Pump pressure 3.5 bar.
