6.8. BMQE pumps connected in parallel
6.8.1.
When connecting BMQE pumps in parallel as
shown in fig. 5,
a separate EZ Boost controller must be used
on each BMQE
. Set the pressure on one BMQE 10 PSI lower
than the other.
6.8.2.
For BMQE pumps connected in parallel, mounted
above each other, it is recommended to connect the pipes
as shown in fig. 5. This layout ensures that the BMQE
pumps are filled with water before starting.

connected in parallel, mounted above each
other.
6.8.3. Notes:
• All BMQE modules are supplied with a non-return
valve.
• BMQE modules connected in parallel may also be
installed vertically.
• As venting problems may arise in such installations, it is
advisable to install suitable air vent devices.
• The BMQE should be positioned with the discharge and
air vent at the top when installed vertically.
• When the maximum flow for BMQE pumps in parallel
will exceed 35 GPM, a 4-gallon or two 2-gallon dia-
phragm tank(s) should be used.
6.9. Generator Operation
Power may be supplied to BMQE pumps by an adequately
sized generator. The generator must be sized 50% above
the pumps P1 (input power) values. See following chart.

7. Operation
7.1. Starting the BMQE Pump for the First
Time
When the BMQE has been connected correctly, it should
be started with the discharge valve closed approximately
one-third. Due to the soft start feature, the pump takes
approximately 2 seconds to develop full pressure.
Check that the actual inlet pressure is equal to or greater
than the previously estimated inlet pressure.
When not being used, all modules should be filled with
water as all internal bearings are water lubricated.
If the BMQE is taken out of operation for a long period, the
BMQE should be flushed through with clean water. The
modules are then left with clean water until they are to be
used again.
