®
Congratulations on purchasing Blue-White Industries, Ltd.'s FlexFlo Series A1A variable speed, peristaltic
metering pump (a peristaltic metering pump is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of
fluids).
®
The FlexFlo Series A1A variable speed, peristaltic metering pump is pre-configured for the tubing that is shipped
with it.
NOTE : It is recommended that the pump have a one-hour break-in period before calibrating the new tube.
NOTE : The tubing has an identification number printed on the tube for easy re-ordering.
NOTE : The pump was pressure-tested at the factory with clean water before it was shipped, so there may be
trace amounts of clean water in the pre-installed tube assembly. This is part of Blue-White Industries,
Ltd.'s stringent quality assurance process.
