It is advisable to put plastic ball valves at the water inlet (A) fertilizer injection (B)
and fertilizer suction (E) for the maintenance of the pump.
Fertilizer should not be sucked from de tank bottom to avoid taking up non dissolute
particles.
The ECOFERTIC pump keeps the injection liquid flow open even when it is stop,
which may produce a siphon effect. It is therefore suggested that, should it be
necessary, an antisiphon valve be set between the injection inlet (B) and the pump
connector (F) at 0.5 m. (1.5 ft) above the fertilizer tank.
RESET Should the pump not start the first time, the reset button should be pushed
down firmly.
