WARNING
All electrical connections must be made prior to turning the power on.
If the red/black wires touch each other or one of the white wires touches a red/black wire, damage to the control unit will result.
Fit the flow switch in the mains water feed to the electric shower NOT to the outlet of the tray. For thermostatic mixers, use two
flow switches.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
Please note the following important instructions before continuing with this installation.
DO
Do ensure you only use the pump with the top or bottom exit kit supplied. These units are designed to minimize noise produced during pumping.
Do ensure debris does not enter the pump, pipework or shower trap/sump during installation.
Do use a second flow switch P.68214.94 when the installation is a mixer valve shower.
DO NOT
Do not run the pump dry at any time. (see commissioning). Dry running of more than a couple of minutes may cause internal damage to the pump or will cause
the control unit to go into self-protect mode.
Do not apply mains electricity (240v) to any point of the system, other than the 2-core blue/brown lead on the control unit.
Do not fit the control unit in a hot environment, i.e. top of an airing cupboard - the unit needs to be below 25c (normal room temp 20c) as a raised running
temperature will give a reduced duty cycle.
This system is designed for domestic use only, it is not rated for continual use (duty cycle 60mins on 30 mins off).
Please read these instructions before starting work, as it may save time later
Introduction
This system enables a shower to be installed virtually anywhere in a house, as the removal of water no longer relies on gravity.
The Phlexiflow shower waste pump system consists of a rugged flexible impellor pump controlled by a flow switch (2 required for a mixer valve) in the water
feed to the shower and a special control unit. When water moves through the flow switch the control unit is activated and the pump cycle starts.
The system pumps in bursts of pumping separated by brief rest periods; this is to enable the system to work as quietly as possible.
When water stops flowing at the end of the shower a new set of timers are activated. In the off mode the pump will operate in short bursts separated by
extended periods of rest; this again is to minimize the noise produced and also ensures the pump does not run dry.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS/LIMITATIONS
This product is designed for use in the domestic environment and is not suitable for multi-occupancy, multi-shower use.
The supplied flow switch must be used; as any other form of controlling the pump will not necessarily ensure protection from dry running (for example any
manual form of switching is relying on the user remembering to turn it off).
The pump is only suitable for bathing water, it will not remove solids - ensure building waste does not enter the trap/sump or the pipework.
All electrical installation work must be carried out by a suitably qualified engineer to the current I.E.E. Regulations (applicable at time of installation).
This product cannot be run dry, see installation/commissioning section.
Warranty
Confidence in the quality of our products allows us to offer a five-year warranty on our pumps. If these products are proven to be defective by reason only of
manufacturing workmanship we will, at our discretion, provide replacement product free of charge. Our liability is limited to the cost of replacement only on

This warranty excludes normal wear and tear in a domestic or residential application. Product abuse, misuse, improper installation or any other type of
damage are excluded from this warranty.
Siting the Equipment
Pump Unit. This unit must be mounted outside of the shower cubicle or room as although it only uses 24v DC, it must not be in direct contact with shower
water. An ideal height above floor level is 6” - 9” (150-225mm) to the underside of the case (diag. 1 shows a typical installation) To make the pipework easier,
this pump will operate with the flow going in either direction, it is just a matter of connecting the power following the instructions on the pump label.
Included in the kit is a special reservoir chamber which must be fitted on the outlet side of the pump. There is also a similar pipe arrangement for the inlet
(remove the red caps)
Fill the pipework with water and fix the pump in position, this will ensure on initial start up that the pump is fully primed.
Control Unit. This box contains the 240v/24v transformer and the control printed circuit board. As 240v is present this control unit must be mounted out of
the wet area, suggested places being adjacent cupboard or adjacent room high on the wall. If mounted in an airing cupboard, ensure it is low down and will not
be heated by the ambient air above 25c.
NOTE - The transformer must not be covered with clothes etc. it relies on the free movement of air to keep cool.
