Product Inspection
The high pressure booster pump has been carefully
inspected and packaged to assure safe delivery. Inspect
the pump and fittings and report to the carrier any items
which are damaged or missing.
Installation
The pump is designed to boost city water pressure or
water pressure from a private water system. Use this
high pressure stream to wash down milk parlors, barns,
garages and driveways, or for fire protection.
The pump is portable with a convenient carrying handle.
If an existing pressure water system is to be used as a
water supply, it can be connected with available fittings
and 3/4” or 1” high pressure hose to the pump inlet. If
pump is permanently mounted on wall, use a 3/4” or 1”
pipe or heavy-duty hose for suction line.
Risk of explosion. Do not ground to a gas
supply line. Pump body may explode if pressure exceeds
rated limits. Maximum inlet pressure is 80 PSI. Maximum
discharge pressure is 315 PSI. Warranty is void if these
pressure limits are exceeded.
High Pressure Booster Pump
Installation Instructions
These instructions cover high pressure booster pump
installations as shown below:
TABLE I - DISCHARGE PRESSURE
*For total discharge pressure, add this pressure to suction pipe
pressure. For example, a 1 HP pump taking suction from an
80 psi water service line will produce 188 + 80 = 268 psi total
discharge pressure at 0GPM flow. If suction pressure drops to 50
psi, discharge pressure will drop to 238 psi at 0 GPM flow.
