Physical Installation

Environmental Requirements

Install this system in a clean, well-ventilated location that provides protection from freezing, flooding, and
excessive heat. In addition:
• Provide access for servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump, tank, and service pipes.
• The power cord must be able to reach a power outlet without the use of an extension cord.
• The pump base should be bolted to a solid foundation (preferably concrete).
• Locate the system as close as possible to the water source to reduce friction in the suction pipe and
ensure maximum capacity.
Installation
1. Place the pump/control on a level, solid surface. For proper operation, the flow control has been
installed vertically as indicated by upward facing arrows on the back of the device. Do not change the
orientation of the control.
2. Turn off the main water supply.
3. Open a nearby faucet to release the water pressure in the system. Once all water and pressure is
released, turn off the faucet.
4. Modify the existing plumbing as required to allow for installation of the booster pump system. The
pump suction is 1 inch FNPT, and the flow control discharge is 1 inch MNPT fittings. Depending on the
size of your piping, adapters may need to be installed. Refer to the Typical Installation diagrams for
suggested routings.
Water may leak from piping during cutting. Protect flooring adequately with a bucket and/or towels.
IMPORTANT: Ensure any burrs or shavings from cutting the pipes are completely removed to prevent
damage to the pump.
5. Add unions and valves as shown to allow system service without disabling the complete water supply.
6. Add a check valve between the water supply union and the pump input. The arrow on the check valve
must point to the pump input.
7. For a municipal water system, use tee fittings to add a pressure regulator, pressure gauge, and pressure
relief valve as required. Follow all applicable code requirements.
For a cistern based system, a pressure regulator and a pressure relief valve are typically not needed
unless required by code.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply power to the system until the pump is primed. Do not run the pump dry, which
can cause overheating and damage the impeller and seals. This will void the warranty.
8. For a municipal system: Once all piping and fittings are properly installed, close Valve 1 and open
Valves 2 and 3. Turn on the main water supply slowly. Turn on the nearest faucet to fill the pump com-
pletely to remove air from the system. When water is flowing steadily, turn off the faucet. Check for
leaks and repair as necessary. Joints should be airtight. Even a pinhole can affect proper operation of
the pump.
For a cistern based system: If the cistern does not supply enough positive pressure to fill the pump
when the supply valve is opened, remove the pump's priming plug and fill the pump case with water.
9. Plug in the pump for the first time—The green Power LED on the flow control will turn on. The pump
should start and run for a few seconds and then turn off automatically. Re-check plumbing for leaks. If
any leaks are found, repeat steps 2 and 3, repair leaks and repeat steps 8 and 9.
10. Turn on the nearest faucet. The yellow Pump On LED on the flow control will turn on to indicate water is
flowing through the system. When the faucet is closed, the pump should stop. If the system does not
operate as expected, press the Restart button to run the pump again for another priming cycle. Priming
is considered complete when water flows from an open faucet. At this time the faucet can be closed
and the system is ready for use. If issues continue, refer to
