300 SERIES COLD CLIMATE FLUSHING SYSTEM
Installation Instructions & Programming Unit
INSTALLATION - (CONTINUED)
PROGRAMMING HYDRO-GUARD UNIT FOR OPERATION
8.
We recommend installing
approximately 10' of pipe to the
outlet connection so the plumber
that is completing the service
installation does not have to
disturb the connection to the
pit and possibly overtightened
the connection or otherwise
affect the contractor’s proper
installation of the pit itself.
9.
Backfill the hole around the
flushing device with clean fill
and/or #57 stone. Backfilling
should be accomplished 12
inches at a time and hand-tamp
each layer until the service grade
is restored.
10.
After installation is complete,
sod the area around the Hydro-
Guard Unit or take other steps in
order to prevent erosion.
For every change to the program
in the Mobile App, you must
exit back to the home screen
and tap the blue
TRANSMIT
button (bottom right corner).
The Application aggregates
changes and transmits them
to the controller when you have
finished programming.
Programs A, B, and C are
independent programs, including
start times, run times, watering
days, and water budget.
1. Install the App:
From the App Store.
or Google Play
install the free
K-RainBL App:
2. Install a 9 Volt Battery in
the Controller:
Unscrew the cap, remove the
seal and fasten the battery to the
correct terminals. Replace the
seal and cap and hand-tighten the
cap to ensure it seals.
4.
Slowly lower the Hydro-Guard 300
Series Cold Climate Flushing
System into place, pressing it
firmly into the non-compacted
bedding material within the
bottom of the hole.
5.
Bury the pit so the top edge is at
ground level.
6.
Install the top approximately
1½" below existing grade and
ensure the meter lid is level with
existing grade.
7.
Place the pit in the excavated
area and connect the inlet
piping. Hand-tighten the fitting to
the pit, then turn two full turns
with a wrench. This will result in
a leak-tight connection, without
placing undue stress on the pit
piping.

Buetooth Programming
Instructions
The BL-KR battery powered
irrigation module communicates
with the K-Rain BL Application on
a Smartphone or Tablet by using
Bluetooth SMART 4.0, (low energy)
on an iPhone with iOS version 7
minimum or an Android phone/
tablet with Marshmallow version
6.0 or higher.
Important:
For use only with 9V DC Latching
Solenoids. As some solenoids
will come from the manufacturer
with the plunger already
magnetically latched open, some
zones will default to
OPEN.
Follow the start-up procedure
for systems with DC Latching
Solenoids.

grade, meter box. Insert the
foam pad insulator and install
cast iron meter lid.
WARNING: We do not
recommend the following:
1) Dumping fill material on top of
the pit; 2) Using machinery to
compact backfill.
