The Grundfos CMB-SP 3-28 uses a 0.5kW fixed-speed multistage pump for automatic clean-water supply from tanks and other suitable water sources.
CMB-SP 3-28: rated duty 50LPM at 20.5m head.
Approximately 28m maximum pump head; 0.5kW motor.
Inlet: 1" BSP female thread.
System outlet: 1" BSP male thread.
The supplied PM2 pressure manager starts the pump automatically when water is used and stops it when demand ends.
Rated duties are manufacturer flow-and-head reference points at 2900rpm, not maximum-flow ratings. Flow decreases as head increases. Select the pump for the flow and pressure required, allowing for suction lift, pipe friction and height differences.
Use clean fresh water without solid particles or fibres, at temperatures from 0°C to 40°C.
Self-priming does not mean the pump can start dry. Fill the pump casing with clean water through the filling opening before first use, then refit the plug and follow the startup instructions. The standard assembly supports a suction lift of up to 4m, including inlet-pipe losses at 20°C. Keep the suction pipe airtight and the pump close to the water source.
Install on a firm base in a ventilated, weather-protected position, with drainage and protection from frost.
An installer can adjust the starting pressure from 150kPa to 500kPa in 50kPa steps using switches behind the control panel, with the power isolated. This sets when the pump starts; water pressure while it runs depends on the pump and the water being used.
The controller range is wider than the usable range of some pumps. In normal demand control, the pump must be able to provide at least 40kPa above the selected starting pressure, after allowing for inlet conditions.
The pump sleeve, impellers and shaft are stainless steel, with polymer components in the water path. The motor has built-in overload protection, and the pressure manager provides dry-running protection and a non-return valve.
Two-year Grundfos Australian consumer warranty from purchase, subject to its terms.
