Start-Up Procedure - West Marine 3.4 Manual De Instruccion

Maintenance
The system shall be periodically sanitized using the
following procedure:
1. Fill the tank with a solution of household bleach
and potable water: 0.03 oz. (1ml) bleach to
32 oz. (1L) water.
2. Open all faucets and run until water flowing
smells of bleach.
3. Close all faucets.
4. Drain solution from tank.
5. Refill tank with potable water.
6. Open all faucets and run until bleach has
been purged.

Start-up procedure

After pump installation, the system can be started
by using the following procedure:
• Fill water tank
• Open one tap
• Turn on pump
• Close tap once water begins flowing
• Open each additional tap until all air has
been purged from system
• Pump will shut off after taps are closed
and pressure builds to the set point of the
pressure switch
Self-priming
Pump is self-priming up to 6 ft (2m) for the 3.4
and 8.2 ft (2.5m) for the 5.0. Intake lines must be
air-tight to ensure self-priming.
Dry running
Pump will not be damaged by shorter period
of dry running. It will, however, unnecessarily
reduce your battery power.
CAUTION: Do not use pump for any liquids other
than fresh water and sea water.
Temperature
Max liquid temperature: +120°F (+50°C)
Max ambient temperature: +140°F (+60°C)

Winterizing
If water is not drained from the system during
freezing temperatures, damage is likely to be
sustained in the plumbing and in the pump. To
prevent damage follow the instructions below:
1. Drain water storage tank.
2. Open all taps.
3. Run pump until remaining water is expelled.
4. Disconnect inlet and outlet tubes.
5. Run pump briefly to confirm that water has
been expelled.
6. Taps shall remain open and pump fittings shall
remain disconnected until temperatures are
above freezing.
Never start a frozen pump. Even if it is drained
it might contain a small amount of frozen water that
locks the rotor.
