START-UP AND OPERATION
After the booster system has been installed by following this manual’s installation instructions and diagrams, the city
water supply can be released into the booster system, filling the pump and MASCONTROL pump controller, etc. with
water. If a bypass line was also installed around the booster system, the isolation valve should now be closed (refer to
Figure 2).
BEFORE
turning the power supply ON to the MASCONTROL pump controller, open the faucet closest to the
booster system so air can escape from the system. After air has escaped the system and a steady flow of water occurs,
close faucet. When the booster system is first installed, all indicator lights on the MASCONTROL panel are off (see Figure
5).
NOW
turn the power supply ON to the MASCONTROL. Indicator lights will illuminate and pump will run (see Figure
6). Re-open faucet. If the faucet is not open within approximately 8 seconds, the MASCONTROL will simply shut off the
pump. Re-open faucet in any case. The green POWER ON light indicates the presence of power in the MASCONTROL,
the yellow PUMP ON light indicates that the pump is running (see Figure 7). After the faucet is closed, the pump will shut
off after approximately 8 seconds and the MASCONTROL will go to the “stand by” mode with POWER ON light illuminated
(see Figure 8). The CITY BOSS water pressure booster system is correctly installed and ready to operate automatically.
Using the RESTART Button:
If water does not enter the pump and MASCONTROL, the red FAILURE light will illuminate
and the MASCONTROL will shut-off the pump within 20-30 seconds. This is the run-dry protection feature, preventing
damage to the pumps internal components. See Figure 9.
After
the water supply problem is corrected (is a check valve installed backwards? - did you open valve to allow city water
into booster system?), the
RESTART
button must be depressed and held in for a suitable length of time to allow pump to
pressurize system, thus overriding the run-dry protection feature.
Do not
override the circuit and run the pump until water
supply is confirmed and no pump inlet line obstructions exist.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE:
The pump’s single phase motor is equipped with automatic resetting thermal protection. Constant “cutting-out”
of this overload device indicates a problem such as low voltage at the motor, excessive temperature in a pump house,
etc. This protection is separate and independent of the “MASCONTROL” pump controller. The motor may re-start
unexpectedly causing the leads to energize or pump to turn.
WARNING- DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING THE SYSTEM.
WARNING- RELIEVE INTERNAL WATER PRESSURE BEFORE SERVICING THE SYSTEM.
Although the “MASCONTROL” pump controller can be used with jet pumps on well systems, the CITY BOSS pressure
booster system pump provided is NOT intended to be used for wells. The booster pump provided is meant to boost city
water pressure.
