OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
BOOST PUMP
Install the submersible boost pump with the electric motor sideways (horizontal)
below
the water line, in
between the sea strainer and the pre-filter(s). The intake is at the center of the pump. The outlet should
ideally point upwards or sideways with the fitting to the top to prevent air pockets.
Avoid elbows/90
˚
fittings in your plumbing if possible. The complete pump head can be turned in case the
outlet direction is not suitable for your installation.
The ECHOTec
“Orbital” Magnetic Drive Pumps eliminate the conventional shaft seals found in most pumps.
This means that there is no rotating seal to wear and allow the liquid being pumped to leak out.
We rely on the liquid being pumped to lubricate the impeller-magnet assembly spinning on the stationary
spindle. If the pump is run dry for longer than 10 minutes, the assembly
may “freeze” onto the spindle.
All pumps can be serviced with the use of a screwdriver. The only moving part in the pump other than the
motor is the impeller-magnet assembly. This assembly rotates on a stationary spindle and up against a
thrust washer.
Note:
The boost pump includes the 5 micron pre-filter option.
5 MICRON PRE-FILTER
Connect the filter housing with the supplied ¾” nylon nipple to the standard filter housing and
reconnect the reinforced vinyl hose. The 5micron cartridge has to be installed as the second filter in
flow direction.
5 MICRON PRE FILTER WITH LOW PRESSURE GAUGE
The optional 5micron pre filter housing with low pressure gauge has to be installed as a second filter in
flow direction.
FRESHWATER FLUSH SYSTEM
Install the active carbon filter housing at an easily accessible location close to your seawater intake line
and any pressurized water line. Connect the fitting on the shut off valve of the carbon filter housing to
your boats’
pressurized water line.
Connect the filter outlet to the supplied T-connector. Connect the two remaining ports of the T-
connector to the outlet of the storage/cleaning valve on the pre-filter housing and to the intake of the
high pressure pump (refer to the flow diagram).
