Pipe Connections
For best performance use P.V.C. or polythene pipe at least the same diameter as the Torrium2
controller outlet.
Larger diameter pipe may be used to minimise resistance to ow when pumping longer distances.
Flexible pipe will help alignment during installation, as well as reduce noise transfer during
operation.
Priming your System
You can prime your system via the priming plug, but you may need to:-
1. Remove the in-built check valve (see gures two and three) to allow the water to enter
the pump - don’t forget to replace it.
2. Allow for specic priming instructions associated with various pump models - read the
Installation & Operating Instructions for your specic pump model.

Remove priming cap and turn over
cap. Lugs on cap will engage check
valve to unscrew.
Power Connection
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump/controller label, do not
use long extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor pump
performance and may cause motor overload.
A means of disconnection must be incorporated in the xed wiring in accordance
with the wiring rules.
The electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualied electrician
and comply with applicable local standards.
The Davey Torrium2 controller has status indicator lights mounted on its front
panel. These lights will be illuminated to indicate various operating conditions
and system faults. The lights will only work when the unit is connected to the
correct electrical supply.
