OPERATIONAL AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
“CDP” SERIES BOOSTER PUMP
Please read these Operational and Installation Guidelines before installing the “CDP” Booster Pump. If
additional help is needed, please consult the Factory.
CAUTIONS:
1. The pump is equipped with either a fixed or adjustable bypass valve which controls the maximum
operating pressure. In addition, never subject the pump to pressures above 125 PSI (8.5 bars).
2. Never operate the pump in a harsh environment or hazardous atmosphere, since motor brush and
switch may cause electrical arcing.
3. Pumphead materials are designed for use with water only. Do not use with petroleum products.
4. As long as there is feed water pressure, the pump will not stop forward flow of water even if the
motor is turned off. Be sure the system has positive means of shutting off water supply.
5. Always consider electrical shock hazard when working with and handling electrical equipment. If
uncertain, consult an Electrician. Electrical wiring should only be done by a qualified Electrician per
Local and State Electrical Codes.
MOUNTING:
A. The pump should be mounted in a dry place and away from any source of heat. If an enclosure is
used, special provisions for cooling the motor may be necessary. Consult the Factory.
B. Do not subject the pump to extreme high or low (freezing) temperatures while in operation.
(Operating ambient temperature range is 32
º F to 115 º F).
C. The pump may be mounted in any position. If “ceiling mounted”, however, with the pumphead
upside down, air entrapment may reduce the operational performance by up to 15% . Consult
Aquatec for ceiling mount solutions.
PLUMBING:
A. We recommend use of flexible tubing with proper pressure rating.
B. Pump will prime only if all pressure is relieved from the outlet port.
C. It is recommended that an in-line sediment filter (150 micron or 100 mesh) be installed at the inlet
side to keep foreign debris out of the system. Please consult your Aquatec catalog for an in-line
filter.
D. Avoid any sharp bends which may crimp tubing and restrict flow. Use 90 º elbow fittings if
necessary. Aquatec provides pumps with different kinds of fittings. Please consult the Factory for
your needs.
E. The pump should always be mounted prior to the carbon pre-filter to prevent carbon particles from
entering the pump chambers and possibly causing clogging.
ELECTRICAL:
A. The CDP series pumps are designed for continuous duty. If used for intermittent duty cycle, make
sure that “off” periods are greater than 60 seconds. Consult the Factory for particular data and
design criteria.
B. If a power supply used with the system and the supply is not furnished by Aquatec, it will need to be
reviewed for correct application and approval by Aquatec.
