Failure to flush and rinse the unit can cause the pump
valve(s) to stick in the open position. This will prevent the
system from producing the correct operating pressure.
The feed water inlet connection is located on the control panel (See Figure
2.2). A belt-driven self-priming centrifugal water pump is supplied to
provide positive inlet water pressure to the main pressure pump. Two
water supply conditions are acceptable for the CaviBlaster
®
power unit.
Forced inlet water condition using the centrifugal water pump or an
outside water source capable of supplying at least 20 GPM (95 LPM)
at a
maximum pressure of 70-PSI (4.8 BAR)
.
Gravity feeding water source (See Figure 4.4). Use a hose with a
diameter of at least 1-1/2
” to connect the water tank to the power unit
Figure 4.3
– Gravity Feeding Source
To use the feed pump supplied with the system:
Connect the cam-lock socket on the 1-1/2
” clear PVC feed hose to the
water inlet connection on the control panel (See Figure 2.2).
Submerse the feed hose into the water source.
Prime the pump by filling the body with water.
It is important to keep the feed hose in the water source when the
engine is running and the clutch is engaged or damage to the pressure
pump will result.
