SPECIAL QTAC OPERATION
Using More Than Water in Your QTAC
If substances other than plain water have been used in the tank of your QTAC (e.g.
foam, pesticides, etc.), always clean and rinse the unit with clean water as soon as you
can after these chemicals have been used, until all traces of the chemicals have been
removed. Failure to flush the system in this manner can result in premature pump seal
failure, significant corrosion of the pump metal components, and build-up of chemical
byproducts in the tank and throughout the pumping system.
NOTE:
Running substances other than plain water can cause significant foaming
to occur in the pumping system – if the pump has been run out of water with a
foaming agent in the tank, the pump will likely need to be primed on subsequent
water tank refills to remove the foam and to develop proper pressure.
Remove the cap from the pump primer port and fill the pump as needed (
Figure

) with clean water. Ensure that all the foam has been forced from the pump by
continually pouring water into the primer port until all foam has been displaced.
SERVICING YOUR QTAC
Cleaning Your QTAC
Your QTAC water tank is best cleaned with plain water. If additional cleaning power is
needed, a small amount of dish or car washing soap may be used. Avoid heavy
washing of the pump engine and surrounding area. Avoid the use of high pressure
spray on the water tank as the decals and rubber components may be damaged.
Protecting Your QTAC
Your QTAC is built of welded UV-stabilized copolymer red polypropylene plastic.
However, like any colored material, extended exposure to direct sunlight can eventually
fade the finish of the tank, hoses, hose reel and even the engine. To keep this from
