necessarily drain all other parts of the piping system. If there are
any concerns with the proper procedure or necessity of draining the
suction plumbing, contact a water systems professional.
All piping and water tanks exposed to freezing weather should be
drained. If there are any concerns with the proper procedure to
drain the system's pressure tank, contact the tank manufacturer
for assistance.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the device and pump do not seem to be operating correctly
together by starting and stopping with water usage, first check
that the technical features of the flow controller and the pump
are compatible. Use the table and figures in this manual to
confirm compatibility.
For the flow control to properly operate the pump system, water
must pass through the device every time water is needed. The water
supply to the device and pump system is typically from a municipal
or utility water main line. The device can also operate on a cistern or
other non-pressurized water tank, but this should be located above
both the pump and the highest water outlet to ensure water flow
through the system.
Troubleshooting
Check the electrical connections.
Check electrical circuit breaker panel.
Check pump and suction line for debris.
Check plumbing and water supply.
Correct installation so that the control device is vertical, with all writing on
the product label in the proper upright position.
Increase water use.
Repair or replace faulty plumbing/check valve
Confirm that there is no water demand.
Check plumbing system for leak.
Clear debris from unit or plumbing.
Correct installation so that the control device is vertical, with all writing on
the product label in the proper upright position.
