Plumbing Options

There are two different Booster Pump Fitting Kits based on the type of RainXchange

®

System pur-

chased (Pondless

®

Waterfall or Decorative Fountain). Select the appropriate installation section below.

The Booster Pump is required to be housed in a protected enclosure, such as a large valve box,

faux rock cover, or can be located inside the house or garage. When locating the Booster Pump

within the house or garage it is recommended that a certified plumber install the pump.

Note: In order for the Booster Pump to properly function, the main water feature pump must be running.

Installation

• Use the plumbing diagram below to see the complete assembly order of the components.
• Cut into the 2” Flex PVC water feature plumbing line and install the PVC tee fitting included

with the Booster Fitting Kit (item #30094). Follow the plumbing installation diagram for

proper configuration.

• Use the supplied PVC pipe or supply your own rigid or flex 1” PVC to run the plumbing to

the location of Booster Pump.

• A ball valve is included with the plumbing kit to allow the water supply to be shut-off to the

Booster Pump when removing for service.

Note: It is recommended to install the ball valve

as close as possible to the plumbing tee off the main water feature line if the project is

located in regions that experience freeze/thaw.

• A union is included to allow easy removal of Booster Pump for service or winter storage

and should be positioned as close as possible to the Booster Pump.

Operation

• Before using your RainXchange

®

Booster Pump, you must prime the pump first. To do this,

simply make sure that your Aquascape water feature pump is running. Next, rotate the

red knob on top of the Booster Pump counterclockwise until water begins to trickle out.

Then simply tighten the knob back down by turning it clockwise and you are ready

to use the Booster Pump.
