Permanent Installations; Applications; Removal Of Pump For Use Elsewhere - Kessel Minilift Instructions D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

2.1 Permanent installations

- When the Minilift is permanently installed (as
seen in the Illustration) it is important that
only greywater is fed into the unit (showers,
sinks, washing machines, etc.). Toilets, for
example, are not to be plumbed into the Mi-
nilift .

- The entire unit is of polymer construction for
corrosion resistance. The Minilift pump is con-
trolled by a float switch.
- The Minilift is designed for connection to

standard household clothes washing ma-
chines.
- The unit is delivered with a 5 meter (16.5
feet) power chord.
- The Minilift can handle continuous wastewa-
ter at 50 C (122 deg F) and can handle up to
75 C (167 deg F) for short periods of time.

ded for another application, the pump can be
quickly and easily removed by unlocking the
quick-release lock. If removing the pump be
sure not to remove the integrated backflow
flap. This flap assembly should remain atta-
ched to the Minilft chamber so that no waste-
water in the outlet pressure pipe will flow back
into the chamber. Also when removing the
pump (if pump cable is run through an under-
ground conduit) be sure to tie a string to the
power chord plug so that the string will be pul-
led through the conduit and into the Minilift
chamber. This will aid in guiding the plug back
through the conduit and to the power source
when re-installing the pump.
TIP: By removing the black suction basket
(#15) on the bottom of the pump, the suction
height can be reduced. This can often be of
help when the distance between the floor and
the pump's impeller needs to be as low as pos-
sible.
Caution – before removing the black suction
basket make sure the pump IS NOT connec-
ted to a power source.
TIP: In cases where the pump is used to pump
out swimming pools, small ponds or any area
where people or animals may be present – be
sure to follow all local and national electrical
codes to ensure safety. This type of application
must follow VDE 0100 Section 49d require-
ments.
