BEST CONTROL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS
PLEASE READ PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS ON PAGE 2 BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION
REMOVE PRESSURE SWITCH FROM PUMP AND WIRE BEST CONTROL DIRECTLY TO PUMP.
BEST CONTROL operates the pump to its maximum pressure.
Install BEST CONTROL only in clean water applications.
Always confirm pump and system characteristics before installation, see page 5.
Confirm electrical characteristics of pump motor before installation, e.g. full load amps and voltage.
Must always be installed in the vertical position, flow arrows up, electronic box level.
Do not install any tap or tee between the pump and the BEST CONTROL.
Install a pressure reducing valve between pump and BEST CONTROL when maximum pressure generated by
the pump exceeds 145 psi.
Install a gate valve and a pressure gauge after the BEST CONTROL unit. This allows testing of the pump and
BEST CONTROL unit for efficiency and to confirm pump pressure.
WHEN TO USE PRESSURE TANK
- 6 -
A small pressure tank ( 1/2 to 2 gallons ) may be used:
1 - In case of pumps using BIAC switch starting system motors
.
It allows bi-metal switch strips to cool in such a way to warrant the regular pump restart.
2 - In case of minimal delivery demands.
It allows for reducing the pump start-ups.
( Example: a glass of water, ice-making machine, inverse osmosis systems, or old systems
with small losses).
