INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION -
OPTIONS
BOOST PUMP
If the high-pressure pump is installed less than 1 foot below the waterline or an additional 5micron pre-
filter is added, the installation of an optional boost pump is recommended.
Install the boost pump with the electric motor up or sideways in a dry location (submergible pumps are
available) below the water line, in between the sea strainer and the pre-filter(s). The intake is at the
center of the pump.
Be sure your electrical wiring for this pump switches off and on at the same time the electric high
pressure pump motor switches off and on, to prevent the pump from being damaged.
The ECHO Tec. “Orbital” Magnetic Drive Pumps eliminate the conventional shaft seals found in most
pumps. This means that there is no rotating seal to wear and allow the liquid being pumped to leak out.
We rely on the liquid being pumped to lubricate the impeller-magnet assembly spinning on the
stationary spindle. If the pump is run dry for longer than 10 minutes, the plastic may “freeze” onto the
spindle.
All pumps can be serviced with the use of a screwdriver. The only moving part in the pump other than
the motor, is the impeller-magnet assembly. This assembly rotates on a stationary spindle and up
against a thrust washer. These are the only parts that can wear and may need to be replaced.
5 MICRON PRE-FILTER HOUSING
Connect the filter housing with the supplied ¾” nylon nipple to the standard filter housing and
reconnect the reinforced vinyl hose. The 5micron cartridge has to be installed as the second filter in
flow direction.
5 MICRON PRE FILTER HOUSING WITH LOW PRESSURE GAUGE
The optional 5micron pre filter housing with low pressure gauge has to be installed as a second filter in
flow direction.
FRESHWATER FLUSH SYSTEM
Install the active carbon filter housing at a serviceable location in between your freshwater system
pump and the pre-filter housing(s). Connect one port of the shut off valve to the provided barbed tee.
Connect the two remaining ports of the tee to the outlet of the storage/cleaning valve and to the intake
of the high pressure pump (refer to the flow diagram). Connect the intake of the active carbon filter
housing to your boat’s pressurized water system.
If the optional 3/4" nylon tee with cleaning/storage valve (systems without boost pump) is supplied
connect the outlet of the active carbon filter housing with the ½” barbed nipple of the 3 way valve. The
shut off valve of the flush filter housing should be re-located to the intake side.
