How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

The central heating pump takes hot water in through its inlet valve and pumps it through the pipes and radiators, which in turn heat the rooms. This also forces the cooled water through the system and back to the boiler where it can be reheated.
What is a Booster Pump. Booster pumps boost pressure improving the flow rate. A booster pump works just like a fan with blades that spin to increase air movement with an impeller that increases flow and pressure.
This differs depending on your tank`s pressure settings. Most well tanks come set at 30/50. The cut-on pressure for the well pump is 30 psi, so the pressure of the tank should have a pressure of 28 psi. If your well tank is on a 40/60 pressure switch, your pressure setting should be 38 psi.
The Grundfos MQ makes it easy to select the right pump. The MQ is an all-in-one unit with two models to choose from. There is no need to worry about a separate pres- sure tank, pressure switch, electrical connections, fittings, or any other separate items.
Setting the cut-out pressure

Turn screw (pos. A) clockwise to increase the cut-out pressure. Turn it counter-clockwise to reduce the cut-out pressure. The differential pressure range remains unchanged.

In most of these cases, 40 psi should be more than enough, and since most modern tire designs will allow up to 44 psi (in some cases more) this is not a problem. If you have a heavily loaded vehicle, up to 44 or even higher is ok if the tire allows it, but this is a little high for most vehicles.
Grundfos manufacture shower pumps in the Brass range that are Universal, meaning that the pump will work automatically in either a positive or negative head installation. * Recommended minimum flow rate: 5 l/min.
Answer: Dry running of the pump can damage the mechanical seal and the motor. For this reason, the float switches should be arranged so that the fill level in the shaft does not fall below the minimum level required to operate the pump.
Even short-term dry-running will result in reduced pump performance and loss of lifetime. If it goes on for an extended period of time, the pump may break down completely due to component wear. For regular 4” pumps, protection against dry-run requires extra equipment.
From the perspective of boosting strength, booster pumps mainly solve the problem of lower water pressure, which is a type of pump with lower pressure; and the circulating pump has a higher pressure than the booster pump, which can drive the circulation of the entire heating system.
A quick and easy way to increase water pressure (for homes supplied by a municipal water system) is to adjust the pressure-reducing valve, which can be found on the main water-supply pipe; look for a conical-shaped valve next to the water meter, close to where the main water pipe enters the house.
Maximum 6 bar. At inlet pressures above 1.5 bar the discharge pressure must be at least 2.5 bar.
0.5 HP v flow High Pressure Pump, 125 Gph, Max 250 Psi.
Max pressure for this 2 HP Single-Stage Pressure Sprinkler/Booster Water Pump is 51 psi at 5 gpm. This 2 HP water pump can be used for boosting existing systems that already have a water source but just need extra pressure or it may be used as a self priming supply pump to draw water from a reservoir or tank.

I have a pressure booster pump installed which turns on automatically when we open the tap and turns off by itself when we close the tap, but when power goes and comes back(common in india), the pump will turn on even with no tap opened and does not turn off automatically and goes on running, some kind of airlock problem I think, when we just shut off and on water input several times, it again starts working well
ANSWER : Check to see if the output pipe has water in it when the pump swutches off the pump needs to be primed at all time what we normally find cases like this is the pump is higher than the supply or there is an air pocket on the output where the pressure sensor is

Grundfos MQ3-35 hums loudly and does not pump. Alarm light does not go on. Pump seems “happy” but when a tap opens and the pump turns on, there is no boost in pressure and the pump just hums loudly… definitely a different noise from normal operation. Seized? Vapor lock? Any help is greatly appreciated.
ANSWER : Hi, seems like the capacitor gone bad or a seized motor. I just fixed mine cranking the motor manually with the use of a flat head screwdriver. In the back of the motor there is a rubber plug about the size of a dime. Take it off an insert a long flat-head screwdriver and crank the motor clockwise a few turns. Remove the screwdriver and try to operate the pump as usual. Good luck …

Pump leaks from the bottom after running, is this normal?
ANSWER : No . the problem is that the ceramic seal that seals between the fluid and the motor and bearings is leaking ( probably from running dry) or the rubber that holds the carbon seal insert has a crack. Suggest you pull the pump down to fix it otherwise the water/ fluid will get into the bearing of the motor and will cause a major failure

The pump alarm light is on and there is water in the tank and nothing has changed, just stopped working. Have used the bleeder and water shot out and now will not work at all. Any suggestions
ANSWER : Press the on/off button once to reset the alarm and once again to start the pump.
If the auto reset light is on, the pump will attempt to restart in 30 minutes.
If the auto reset light is off, press and hold the on/off button for 5 seconds.

How do i increase the pressure in the in-built pressure tank
ANSWER : Right after the discharge outlet, a non-return valve or check valve is usually installed. Check this one out, maybe it is worn out. You may have to replace it. Do this and get back to me if it does not work out.
