Aquacell AE-M

Variable speed pressure boosting units

Pressure boosting units from SPECK Pumpen are mainly used in drinking water supply when the supply pressure is not sufficient. They ensure a reliable water supply on all stories. Energy consumption has always been the same, regardless of actual water requirements. The Aquacell AE-M variable speed units are now making a sustainable change and saving around 50 % of the energy required by a conventional pressure boosting unit. It is easy to operate and can be monitored remotely via an app.

The new Aquacell AE-M pressure boosting units ensure simple water supply in private households with up to 6 stories at an inlet pressure of at least 0.5 bar. Available in three different sizes, they are optimally designed for one to six-family households with gardens.

The units are supplied ready to plug in, for a power supply via a 230 V socket, for easy installation and commissioning. The Aquacell AE-M adapts to all needs. Parameterisation is not necessary. It can be easily operated and the target pressure adjusted via an LED display with keypad. It is also possible to monitor the unit via bluetooth using an app on the smartphone. Running time, energy consumption, operating mode and error messages can be called up at any time and from any location.

The Aquacell AE-M can be switched on and off automatically by a pressure transmitter located in the end pressure side. The control tank is an 8 l diaphragm pressure vessel mounted in the pressure line. The speed is controlled by a frequency converter mounted on the motor. The pressure boosting units are equipped with a dry run protection which automatically switches the unit off in the event of water shortage.

While conventional pressure boosting units operate continuously at the same speed to maintain the required pressure, the Aquacell AE-M’s frequency converter adjusts the speed of the pump motor to the actual water requirement. Measured in terms of the average water consumption of a detached or two-family house, energy consumption is reduced by up to 50 % in comparison.

SPECK Pumpen service

Fast assistance

Our team in the workshop works competently and efficiently so that a faulty pump can be working again as soon as possible. Valuable tips from customers save a lot of time when searching for the problem and allow us to help quickly.

Transport damage, warranty cases, replacing wear parts, damage from long service or due to incorrect installation – there are many reasons why a pump may have to be sent to SPECK for repairs. Even if it can only be described as broken or faulty, our colleagues will find the problem. There’s no question about it. However, searching for the problem can take time and this is what the customer generally doesn’t have. The overhauled pump should be back at the installation site as soon as possible. A few simple tips for pumps in need of repair help to minimise the waiting time!

Repairs often require wear or spare parts. The pump or device type and the serial number can be used to determine these clearly for the respective pump. These specifications can be found on the pump’s name plate. This information can be used in our system to call up all the article numbers of all the individual parts used. If this information is difficult for you to determine, the order number of the invoice or delivery note or the source and date of supply will also help us. Ideally, we can use this information to prepare for the repair while the pump is still on its way to us.

When determining the fault, we can save you valuable waiting time if we know about some of the symptoms of the pump when it is installed. Does the pump develop a different operating noise? Does liquid leak, if so where from? Has the performance of the pump noticeably changed due to changes in pressure or reduced quantity of water? Does the motor become hot or is the circuit breaker triggered? Such information immediately helps us to assess whether it is a hydraulic problem, electrical damage or a faulty seal.

Especially with controlled pump models from the BADU GREEN series, it is good to know whether external contacts are used on site and whether the pump is operated with a controller – if so, which one. Does the display show anything and can settings still be made? Is it possible to save programme settings or is an error code or warning displayed? If so, please quote it. Is the error permanent, temporary or does it only occur under certain circumstances?

In many cases, the conditions on site are also important for a quick and effective repair. Has the pump been submerged in water or operated in high humidity conditions? Has the pump been used to pump unusual media or have changes been made to the pump connections? The causes for defects in the device can also be linked to these special circumstances. However, they are difficult to reproduce in the workshop. By providing this information you support us in helping you quickly and permanently!

In order to make it as easy as possible for you to send in a pump, all essential information is requested on a returns form. This can be downloaded from our website speck-pumps.com under Service/help. If you are unsure about the error description, the colleagues in the service department will be happy to support you by telephone on +49 9123 949-700.
