FAQ's
Zilmet ZIL170 1.1 kW Booster Pump with ZIL01 Controller FAQ
1: What is the maximum pressure of the Zilmet ZIL170 with ZIL01 controller?
The ZIL170 pump is capable of producing up to approximately 3.6 bar. However, when combined with the ZIL01 automatic controller, the pump is designed to switch off at 3 bar, which becomes the effective maximum operating pressure.
2: What does the ZIL01 controller do?
The ZIL01 controller automatically starts the pump when water demand is detected and switches it off when pressure reaches 3 bar or when flow stops, ensuring safe and convenient operation.
3: Is this pump suitable for household use?
Yes. The ZIL170 with ZIL01 controller is suitable for medium domestic applications, including tank-fed systems and municipal pressure boosting.
4: Can this pump be used with rainwater or borehole water?
The pump is designed for clean water. If used with rainwater or borehole water, a suitable pre-filter should be installed to protect the pump
5: Does this pump provide constant pressure?
The pump maintains stable pressure through automatic on/off control. For perfectly constant pressure under varying demand, a VSD (variable speed) booster pump is recommended.
6: Does the pump require a pressure tank?
No. The ZIL01 controller allows the pump to operate without a separate pressure vessel in most standard installations.
7: Is the pump energy efficient?
Yes. The 1.1kW motor provides strong performance while remaining energy efficient for its size, making it suitable for frequent domestic use.
8: Is professional installation required?
While the pump is easy to install, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct electrical and plumbing connections and long-term reliability.
9: What maintenance does the pump require?
Minimal maintenance is required. Periodic checks of inlet filters, water supply, and electrical connections will help keep the pump running efficiently.
