Installation
Sidekick Pro Injection System Plumbing
Plumb the Sidekick Pro Pump
Pump Inlet
Use 3/4” chemically resistant hose between the chemical tank and injection pump inlet. Do not use hose or
tubing that may collapse when a vacuum is applied during pump operation.
The product line should be as straight as possible. Avoid low spots in plumbing to ease pump priming and
avoid chemical waist.
Strainer
A strainer with a #20 mesh screen must be installed on the inlet side of the injection pump.
Pump Outlet
Connect the pump outlet to the injection check valve at the point of injection. Use the following hose sizes
depending upon the capacity of the injection pump used with the system.
Avoid product lines longer than 15 ft. [4.5 m] between the pump outlet and the point of injection. Long runs can
cause increased pressure in the pump heads which cause the pump to pull more electrical current and may
raise the temperature of the injection pump motor and integrated motor control node. See the Setting
Application Mode and Injection Diagnostics section on page 35 for details on injection system diagnostics and
to monitor pump pressure and node temperature.
Plumb the Sidekick Pro Closed Calibration System
The Sidekick Pro closed calibration system provides an environmentally effective method of calibrating the
injection pump without exposing the operator to dangerous or hazardous chemicals.
Pump Calibrator
To provide accurate calibration of the injection pump, the pump calibrator (P/N 063-0172-822) must be
installed directly onto the outlet of the pump. This configuration prevents air from getting trapped between the
injection pump and the calibration plunger. Trapped air will cause the plunger to feel “spongy” when pressed
and will cause the pump calibrator to work improperly.
Pump Capacity Tubing Size
1-40 oz./min. 3/8”
5-200 oz./min. 1/2”
CAUTION
Hoses used on the outlet of the injection pump
must be re-enforced, chemically resistant hose
rated for at least 150 PSI at 100° F [1034 kPa at
66° C].
