Media Containing Particles
Piston Pumps:
• It is recommended that the pump head be rinsed after every pumping process to prevent the piston from
seizing due to remaining particles (especially after pumping media containing salt and protein).
• Do not pump media containing particles that exceed a diameter of 0.8 mm.
• Piston fractures are not covered by your warranty.
Gear Pumps:
!
CAUTION
: Do not use gear pumps to pump liquids containing particles. Even the smallest parti-
cles can have an abrasive effect that can damage or destroy a gear pump within a few seconds.
Corrosive Liquids
Corrosive liquids may eventually produce leak paths around the sealing surfaces of the pump head. It is
recommended that the pump be regularly inspected for leaks.
Dry Running
• It is recommended that the pump head is filled with the liquid to be pumped prior to operation.
• While priming, ensure the pump does not run dry for more than 15 seconds.
Pump Against Pressure
The REGLO piston pump system can be used for continuous operation at a maximum differential pressure of
6.9 bar.

CAUTION
: Please consult factory for maximum pressure capabilities.
