The Dial MC8500UL pump is a submersible unit designed for reliable water circulation in evaporative coolers. Key components include:

• Carcassa del motor: Contains the 115V motor with thermal overload protection.
• Impulsor: Circulates water efficiently.
• Sortida de descàrrega: Connects to the water distribution system of the cooler.
• Cable d'alimentació: 115V, grounded plug.
• Suports de muntatge: Included for secure installation within the cooler's reservoir.
• Mesh Filter Bag: Helps prevent debris from entering the pump, extending its lifespan.

Configuració i instal·lació

Before beginning installation, ensure the evaporative cooler is disconnected from all power sources.

1. Prepare the Cooler: Drain any existing water from the evaporative cooler's reservoir and clean it thoroughly to remove sediment or debris.
2. Muntar la bomba:
   • Position the pump in the cooler's reservoir, ensuring it sits level and is fully submerged when the cooler is filled with water.
   • Use the included durable mounting brackets to secure the pump to the bottom or side of the reservoir, preventing movement during operation.
3. Connectar la línia d'aigua: Attach the cooler's water distribution hose to the pump's discharge outlet. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
4. Install Filter Bag: Place the mesh filter bag over the pump's intake area or around the pump itself to prevent larger debris from entering and clogging the pump.
5. Connexió elèctrica: Route the pump's power cord safely, avoiding pinch points or areas where it could be damaged. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 115V electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) if required by local codes.
6. Fill Cooler: Fill the evaporative cooler's reservoir with water to the recommended operating level. Ensure the pump is fully submerged.

Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed and the cooler is filled with water, the pump is ready for operation.

1. Posada en marxa inicial: Turn on the power to the evaporative cooler. The pump should begin circulating water to the distribution system, wetting the cooler pads.
2. Comprovar el flux d'aigua: Verify that water is evenly distributed over the cooler pads. Adjust any distribution lines or nozzles as necessary to ensure optimal wetting.
3. Monitor del nivell d'aigua: Regularly check the water level in the cooler's reservoir. The pump must remain fully submerged during operation. Refill the reservoir as needed or ensure the automatic fill system is functioning correctly.
4. Funcionament silenciós: The pump is engineered for low noise. Any unusual noises may indicate an issue requiring investigation (e.g., debris in the impeller, low water level).

Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient performance of your pump.

• Setmanal/Bisetmanal:
  • Desconnecteu l'alimentació: Always turn off and disconnect power to the cooler before performing any maintenance.
  • Bossa de filtre neta: Remove and clean the mesh filter bag to remove accumulated debris. Rinse it thoroughly and re-install.
  • Inspect Pump: Visually inspect the pump for any signs of wear or damage. Check for debris around the impeller.
• Monthly/Seasonally:
  • Neteja el dipòsit: Drain and thoroughly clean the evaporative cooler's water reservoir to prevent algae and mineral buildup.
  • Inspeccioneu l'impel·lent: If water flow is reduced, carefully remove any debris that may have bypassed the filter and lodged in the impeller area.
  • Comproveu les connexions: Ensure all hose and electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion.
• End of Season (Winterization):
  • Disconnect power and drain the cooler completely.
  • Remove the pump from the reservoir. Clean it thoroughly and store it in a dry, frost-free location to prevent damage from freezing water.
