for the Booster Fitting Kit
(Item #30214)
Aquascape water feature pumps are designed to
provide high flows at low pressures to waterfalls and
streams. They are not designed to provide sufficient pressure
for garden hose or irrigation applications. As a result, a separate
Booster Pump is required with the RainXchange
™
Systems when being used
for irrigation or other watering chores such as car, deck or patio washing.
The Booster Pump is an external pump with a built-in pressure tank and electronic controller.
The Booster Pump is available in two sizes: a ¼ HP model (item # 30084) and a larger ½ HP (item
# 30085) model for applications requiring higher pressure for professional irrigation systems.
The Booster Pump has a built-in thermal overload and run-dry shut off to protect the pump when
water becomes too low in the RainXchange
™
water storage basin. We recommend a Low Water
Pump Shutoff Switch (item #29647) to prevent the Booster Pump from using all the water in the
RainXchange
™
water storage basin. This will leave a small supply of water in the basin for the
water feature pump to continue to operate. (See Figure 1 on page 6 of manual.)
High Pressure Sprinkler and Drip Irrigation:
The RainXchange
™
System can be used with
professionally installed irrigation. We recommend consulting a professional irrigation installer
in order to properly configure the RainXchange
™
System into the design of these applications.
Note:
Water from the RainXchange
™
System may contain more suspended sediment than tap
water. Pre-filters designed for sprinklers and drip systems are recommended.
The Booster Pump is able to operate on either 110V or 230V single phase. See the manual
included with the Booster Pump for electrical and performance specifications, as well as
pump maintenance information.
