Product Overview

Home Pressure Systems
Adaptive Starting
Torrium2 is smart enough to detect the difference between
normal water demand and a small leak in the system, such
as a dripping faucet or a leaking cistern. For very low flows,
Torrium2 automatically adapts to reduce the cut-in pressure,
which can be as low as 50% of its last shut-off pressure.
This significantly reduces pump cycling to improve consumer
satisfaction with the system. If normal flow is required in the
house (>0.13gpm), Torrium2 will sense this and revert to
normal mode and initiate an immediate pump start.
Easy Status Check
To easily check the system status, Torrium2 has three simple
LED indicators.
• Red LED - the system is in standby
• Green LED - the pump is running
• Yellow LED – fault condition
Greater Hydraulic Performance
To provide more pressure while using less energy, Torrium2
has been designed with larger water pathways to provide
low head loss, offering superior hydraulic performance than
comparable water pressure controllers.
Greater Reliability
To diminish the likelihood of blockages, Torrium2 is designed
with no moving control parts within the water pathways
giving greater reliability and performance with varying water
quality.
Dry Run Protection & Auto Restart
To protect the pump from damage due to dry running,
Torrium2 stops the pump when it detects a loss of prime
(no water supply) situation. To reduce system downtime,
the Torrium2 waits 5 minutes then goes into auto retry
mode, whereby it will restart the pump to see if prime can
be re-established automatically. An auto restart occurs at
5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 hours.
Torrium2 will also restart if it detects flow through the system
(e.g. from mains water pressure returning with pressure
boosting applications).
Pump Protection – High Water Temperature Cut-out
For added security and longer life, a water over-temperature
cut-out provides a second level of protection against closed
head operation and repetitive cycling. For water temperatures
above 158°F Torrium2 will shut the pump down and the amber
LED will be lit. When the water temperature drops to below
140°F, the Torrium2 will allow the pump to restart.
Pump Protection – Excessive Electrical Current
To protect the pump motor, Torrium2 will shut the pump down
and indicate a fault if it detects excessive electrical current
being drawn. This occurs if the pump motor is subjected
to locked rotor or if someone tries to manually override the
Torrium2 by continually holding in the prime button.
Corrosion & Scale Resistance
To allow Torrium2 to be used with water of varying quality,
its flow sensors are mounted on a high grade stainless steel
plate with special anti-scaling electronic action, which only
turns the flow sensors on during pump operation.
Extra Draw off Capacity
To accommodate small leaks and to reduce cycling,
Torrium2 has an in-built spring loaded accumulator for extra
draw off capacity. A spring loaded accumulator means low
maintenance as there is no need for a pressure vessel with
its regular air charging and checking. However, for increased
draw off, an optional small pressure tank, can be mounted
on the vertical outlet.
Power Surge Protection for Torrium2
To protect the Torrium2 controller from electrical surges and
spikes, thus extending its life, it incorporates a metal oxide
varistor (MOV). The status of the MOV can be checked in
the viewing window on the back of the Torrium2. The MOV
is a sacrificial component and should it be consumed due
to repeated power surges or spikes, it will almost always
blacken the viewing port. This will indicate a non-warrantable
Torrium2 failure.
Ease of Installation
For ease of installation, the outlet plumbing can be connected
to either the vertical or the right angle discharge outlet, which
can rotate a full 360°. A wrench, sized to fit the coupling, is
included in the box.
Power Cable
For easy installation, no hard wiring is needed as Torrium2
comes with a 6 foot power cord with a standard NEMA
power plug. USA 120V models are fitted with a standard
NEMA 5-15P power plug. USA 240V models are fitted with a
standard NEMA 6-15P power plug.
