HYDRA / HYBRID
The Hydra is a machine model with a pump and motor for each group head. This includes changes
in internal plumbing and wiring to accommodate separate and distinct pressures in each brew group.
In contrast, a Cyncra or Sabre has a single pump and motor for the entire machine. Having individual
pumps and motors allows the operator to set a separate brewing pressure per group head, and each
group functions independently without affecting the pressure at the other groups.
Hydras can be built as fully manual machines (multiple manual group heads), fully volumetric (all
group heads have programmable keypads), or a mixture of group heads to match your requirements.
Hydras with mixed group head configurations are referred to as Hybrids.
Hydra Installation requirements:
Electrical:
The Hydra package has a slightly greater amp draw than the single pump machines; please note the
max amp draws and plan your electrical installation accordingly. See table on page 11.
Each pump motor has a distinct color association, which is indicated throughout the machine by
colored wires and zip ties. The colors are as follows:
Group 1: Grey
Group 2: Purple
Group 3: Brown
Water inlet for the steam tank: Pink
Wherever these colors are seen, it is critical for proper functioning that they are matched up correctly
(grey to grey, etc.) for both electrical and plumbing systems.
Plumbing:
Hydra packages require one incoming water source like single pump machines. The water passes
through a manifold (commonly part of the line pressure regulator) and is distributed to each pump.
Once again, follow the color coding for proper installation of the hoses from the output of each pump
to the machine.
