Nova-Tech LMI Series G - SD Metering Pump - Manual (Page 2)

PLACE THIS AMENDMENT TO THE MACROY SD MANUAL (339-0080-000) BEHIND
THE COVER SHEET (APRIL 2008)
Precautions Amendment to Pump Manual
For Pumps with PVC & 316SS Liquid Ends
WHEN USED IN SWIMMING POOLS OR SPAS/HOT TUBS
(ANSI/NSF 50)
1. Caution on Chemical Concentration:
There is a potential for elevated chemical concentration during periods of no flow, for example,
during backwash in the system. Steps, such as turning the pump off, should be taken during
operation or installation to prevent this. Contact your sales representative or distributor about
other external control options to help mitigate this risk.
2. Flow Indicating Device:
To ensure operation of the pump it is recommended that some type of Flow Indicating Device be
installed to measure water flow rates and be appropriate for the output of the pump. Contact your
distributor or sales representative for further information.
3. Head Loss / Over Pressure Protection / Back Pressure-Anti-Siphon Valve:
3.1 Milton Roy metering pumps are positive displacement. Head loss is not applicable to the
pump.
3.2 To ensure safe operation of the pump it is recommended that some type of safety/pressure-
relief valve be installed to protect the piping and other system components from failing due to
excessive pressure.
3.3 If you are pumping downhill or into low or no system pressure, a back pressure/anti-siphon
device should be installed to prevent over pumping or siphoning. Contact your distributor or sales
representative for further information.
4. Additional Operation and Installation Instructions for 316SS or PVC Liquid Ends:
4.1 Application of this pump to swimming pool/spas only evaluated to NSF/ANSI 50.
4.2 There is a potential for elevated chemical concentration during periods of no flow, for
example, during backwash in the system. Steps, such as turning the pump off, should be taken
during operation or installation to prevent this. See your sales representative or distributor about
other external control options to help mitigate this risk.
4.3 Liquid Compatibility CAUTION: Determine if the materials of construction included in the liquid
handling portion of your pump are adequate for the solution (chemical) to be pumped. ALWAYS
wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on or near your
metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on the solution being pumped.
Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier. Reference a Milton Roy
Material
Selection Chart for aid in selecting appropriate material of construction for fluids of your specific
metering pump. Contact your sales representative or distributor for further information.
