Plumbing Overview
•
The pump must be installed on the outlet side of the filter.
•
If installed on a dual equipment system with a heater,
introduce the booster pump downstream no less than
3' feet (1 m). This ensures that excessively heated
water is not passed through the booster pump.
•
If using solar heat, ensure that the booster is
equipped with an automatic override to shut off the
pump. This ensures that the pump will not operate in
a no flow condition during solar panel purges.
•
Plumb the booster pump upstream from any
chlorination or other sanitation systems.
