With Torrium2 you can connect the discharge pipework to the
discharge port and/or the vertical priming port. The priming port is
able to be used as a discharge port.
Discharge Connections
The Torrrium2 offers the option of using one or both outlet options.
Use of the horizontal outlet only allows for either:
1. Easy access to prime the pump and / or the removal of the inbuilt Torrium check
valve
2. Fitment of a pressure tank (up to 5 gallon capacity) onto the priming port /
vertical discharge port.
For optimal draw off, see section on “Extra Draw-off Capacity.”
If you use the vertical outlet instead or as well, you need to consider access to the
inbuilt check valve in the Torrium. Davey suggest you use the enclosed exible
connection to allow for ease of access to the check valve.
Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a rm base and as close to the water source as possible with
correct power supply. Make sure your pressure system is always connected to an
adequate, reliable source of clean water.
Housing your Davey Pressure Booster System
To protect your pressure booster system from the weather, make sure the
pump house is both water proof, frost free and has adequate
ventilation. The pump should be horizontally mounted on a
rm base allowing for drainage, to avoid damage to ooring
etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or
pump seals. Do not mount the pump vertically. Never place
ammable materials on or near your pump.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, nd electrical devices
attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is susceptible to
insect infestation you should implement a suitable pest control plan.
FREEZING CONDITIONS: In situations subject to freezing, drain water from
pump, tank & pipework to avoid damage not covered under guarantee.
Power Connection
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump label. Do not use long
extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor pump performance
and may cause motor overload.
BT14-30, BT20-30 and BT14-45 models are 115 volt 60Hz models, tted with
NEMA 5-15P plugs intended for direct connection to a three pin wall socket.
BT20-40 and BT30-30 models are 230 volt 60Hz only and are tted with NEMA 6-15P
plugs intended for direct connection to a 6-15R three pin wall socket. The color codes
are: Green = Ground/Earth, Black = Hot, Active or L1, White = Neutral or L2.
Ensure that the circuit including the breakers on the power supply have sufcient
capacity to accommodate pump starting amperage. Davey recommend a minimum
circuit capacity of 20 amps for 115 volt models and 10 amps for 230 volt models.
