10. With all pipe and fittings installed and sealed,
turn on all the ball valves and the main water
supply slowly to pressurize the system and
check for leaks. If any leaks appear, turn the
main valve off, open a faucet to relieve the
pressure, and repair the leak. Repeat this
step until there are no leaks in the system.
11. Open a faucet to release the air from the
pipes and allow water to flow. When a steady
stream of water flows out of the faucet, the
pump is full of water and fully primed. Close
the faucet and the ball valve in the main
water supply line (see illustration).
12. Before continuing with the installation, see the manual sections titled Electrical
Connections, Automatic Pressure Controller, Normal Operation, and When Does The Pump
Stop Operating for detailed information on how the system functions.
13. At this point, you can plug in the pump for
the first time. When you plug in the power
cord, the pump will start and run for a few
seconds.
14. When the pump stops running (after it
shuts off automatically), the system is at
the boosted pressures. Inspect the pipe and
fittings again for water leaks. If any leaks
appear, unplug the pump, turn the water
main valve off, open a faucet to relieve the
pressure and repair the leak. Repeat this step
until there are no leaks in the system.
Figure 1: Typical household booster installation. Purchase plumbing fittings
separately. Consult code for relief valve/pressure regulator requirements.
Figure 2: Typical bypass piping needed to allow removal of pump for repair without
shutting down household water system. (Turn on the ball valve in the main water
supply line, and close the two ball valves both in the pump outlet and inlet.)
