INLET WATER FILTERS
The inlet water filter cartridges, 5-micron and 10-micron, must be inspected
once per week or as needed. The change interval of the filter cartridges
depends entirely upon the cleanliness of the inlet water. When the “outlet
gauge” shows a significant drop in pressure during operation it is time to
change the filters. The filter cartridges should be changed at least once every
year.

ATOMIZATION LINES/MANIFOLD HOSES
The hoses and lines should be periodically inspected for damage such as cuts and abrasions. Also check that the
hoses have not come into contact with sharp edges or are vibrating against an abrasive surface.
SYSTEM FLUSH – SHUT DOWN - WINTERIZING
If the system is to be SHUT DOWN for a period of time, all automatic drain valves or end plugs should be removed
and the complete system flushed. Then all water remaining in the lines should be purged with compressed air. The
supply water to the pump module should be turned off. Empty filter housings of any remaining water and replace
filter cartridges with new dry cartridges. Turn off electrical power to pump module. This will help to prevent water
freezing and damaging the pump or its components.
Note: The pump unit has an automatic flush feature that will flush the pump every 96 hours (4 day’s) of non-
operation. This flush does not start the pump motor; it only opens the inlet solenoid valve and the drain
solenoid valve for 30 seconds. This keeps the water in the pump system fresh and limits the chance of the
water becoming stagnant. This flush will occur if the pump unit is powered and is connected to a water
supply. To disable, shut off the power and/or the water supply to the pump unit.
INLET WATER PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch is a hydraulically actuated, stainless steel enclosed switch. It is complete with platinum coated
contacts that complete a 24vac control circuit. The body of the pressure switch has a 150 P.S.I. (10.3 BAR)
maximum pressure rating. Cut off sensitivity is adjustable from 12 to 100 P.S.I. (.3 - 6.9 BAR). Switches are preset
at factory at 10 PSI (0.7BAR).
