B．Booster Pump Installation
1. Decide the best place to install the pump. Think about these things:
It must be near the main water supply line

The pump must be accessible

The power cord must reach a power outlet

The controller‟s led lights must be visible

Ease of plumbing

Space saving

2. Mount the pump on a solid base in the location you have decided on.
3. Choose a time that will allow you to shut off the water to the household while you install the Pump.
4. Shutoff the main water supply valve to the household.
5. Open any faucet to relieve water pressure in the plumbing. Once the water pressure is relieved, close the faucet.
6. READ STEP 6 COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING WORK. You must remove a length of pipe from the main water
supply line to allow installation of tees for the Pump. The locations of the cuts must take into consideration the size
of the tees being used, the length of the threads in threaded joints or the overlap in glued or soldered joints, etc..
There may be some water leakage while cutting the pipe. Remove any burrs or shavings caused by the cutting tool.
NOTE: Galvanized pipe may not need to be cut. If there is a union close to the pump location, disassemble the union and
remove (unscrew) pipe back past the pump location. Have new lengths of pipe cut and threaded to allow for the pump
installation.
NOTE: Both suction and discharge ports have 1" NPT threads. Depending on your type of connection and the size of
your home‟s piping, you may need to install adapters on the ports.
7. Once the short piece of pipe is removed, the piping above the cut can be drained to prevent water mess. Place a pail
under the opening going to the household. Open the highest faucet in the system to let in air so the water can fall out
of the pipes into the pail. Once it‟s drained, close the faucet.
8. Install the tees (Part No. 3) in the main water supply line. Install the ball valve (Part No. 2) on the main water supply
line (between the two tees).Point them toward the pump.
CAUTION: Risk of burst hose and flooding. Do not install with flexible hoses. Use only rigid piping that meets code.
9. Install piping from tees to pump including a union (Part No. 6) and ball valve (Part No. 2) in each line, an elbow (Part
No. 1) in the discharge line, and a check valve (Part No. 5) in the pump suction line. The arrow on the check valve
must point to the pump suction (see Figure 4).
10. With all pipe and fittings installed and sealed, turn on all the ball valves and the main water supply slowly to
pressurize the system and check for leaks. If any leaks appear, turn the main valve off, open a faucet to relieve the
pressure, and repair the leak. Repeat this step until there are no leaks in the system.
11. Open a faucet to release the air from the pipes and allow water to flow. When a steady stream of water flows out of
the faucet, the pump is full of water and fully primed. Close the faucet and the ball valve in the main water supply
line. (see Figure 4).
