5.2 Install the Flow Switch
Install the ow switch upstream of the booster pump sucon in horizontal or vercal pipe
with upward ow direcon:
1. Drill and tap a 1/2" NPT hole just upstream of the booster pump sucon.
2. In horizontal pipe, the tapped hole should be on the side parallel to the ground or a
lile lower to ensure the posive presence of ow. See Figure 5.
3. In the vercal pipe, the tapped hole should be in the upward direcon of the ow.
See Figure 6.
Cauon: Do not install the ow switch on top of the pipe or in vercal piping with ow
going down. This may cause false “no ow” readings in pipes that don’t always
run full.
4. Use sucient plumber's tape on the ow switch threads to ensure a good seal.
5.3 Feeder Setup - Connect the Discharge Tubing Line
To connect the discharge tubing line of the feeder to the venturi sucon:
1. Remove the hopper (top half) of the feeder and place it on the oor.
2. Remove the le and right base covers to expose the discharge piping check valve
and tubing connector.
3. Esmate how much tubing needed to make the connecon between the feeder and
venturi and cut the appropriate tubing length using tubing cuers.
4. Manipulang the feeder base for easier access, connect the ½" OD polyethylene
tubing to the tubing connector.
5. Wind the other end of the tubing through the hole in the base so that it comes out of
the back of the base. See Figure 7.
6. Connect the tubing to the tubing connector on the venturi sucon.
7. Use a wrench, if necessary, to secure the tubing onto the tubing connectors.
5.4 Feeder Setup - Connect the Inlet Tubing Line
To connect the inlet tubing line of the feeder to the inlet manifold:
1. Replace the hopper back onto the feeder base.
2. Install the 1/2" ball valve, strainer, ow meter and male threaded tubing connector
at the booster pump discharge prior to the venturi. (Install ball valve prior to strainer
and ow meter).
3. Install the ½” female threaded tubing connector on the ½” male threads at the back of the feeder hopper
4. Esmate how much tubing is needed to make the connecon between the feeder and venturi and cut the appropriate tubing length using
tubing cuers.
5. Using the appropriate tubing connectors, connect the feeder inlet to the booster pump discharge.
5.5 Mount the Control Box
Open the control box cover to access the mounng holes of the control box.
1. The control box mounng holes are located on the outside of the waterght gasket.
2. Select the proper bolt size and material for compability to box and wall construcon.
