NOTE: This pump should only be installed on membrane sizes up to 50GPD capacity.
- PAB6800 SERIES LOW FLOW BOOSTER PUMP
- The 6800 Series is intended for use with RO membranes rated up to 50 GPD. Close tolerances
- within the pump head and motor, give a lower amp draw; lower operating temperatures; smoother running; longer life; lower maintenance; and greater efficiencies.
- It incorporates powder coated die cast alloy and a unique label sealing process to reduce exposure to moisture which is the major cause of motor failure. The pump is available with optional EMI/RFI electronic noise suppression to reduce TV reception interference. The PAB6800 Series is capable of operating in a warm, humid hostile environment where other pumps have been known to fail. It is the strongest, most durable pump available on the market today.
- Distinguishing Features:
- • Toughest, most durable pump on the market
- • Adjustable max. outlet psi.(regardless of feed pressure)
- • Expels trapped air (no more air locks)
- • Can be mounted with pump head up or down
- • More flow at extremely low inlet pressures
- • New motor venting system to remove moisture
- • EMI/RFI electronic noise suppression
- • 100% final performance tested
- Key Operational Benefits:
- • Boosts pressure 40 to 120 psi (adjustable)
- • Fixed pressures to 160 psi
- • Up to 30,000+ operating hours
- • Whisper quiet –– less than 45 DBA
- • Can run dry without damage
- • Self-priming –– 60" lift
- • Low voltage (12-24V) for maximum safety
- • Corrosion resistant exterior
- • Continuous or intermittent operation
- Technical Specifications:
- OPERATION: The 6800 is designed to operate with a PSW tank shut-off switch for hydro-pneumatic storage systems. The PSW, when used with a typical undercounter R.O. system, can be augmented with an ESO, Electronic Shut-off Valve. It is also compatible with most hydraulic shut-off valves. For counter-top systems, Aquatec's TLC, Tank Level Controllers, shut off feed water and the pump when the product water storage tank is full.
- MOUNTING PLATES: The "flexible or steel" base plates are included at no extra cost. The "Universal" base plate is available optionally at additional cost.
- POWER: Pumps operate with low energy (only 14 watts), low voltage (12-24 volt) motors, powered with compatible transformers with world wide primary voltages available (100 VAC, 120 VAC, 230 VAC). Transformers are optional and must be ordered in addition to the pump.
- FITTINGS: Built-in 1/4" John Guest half cartridge fittings eliminate need for external fittings (unless elbows are required)
- INSTALLATION: The location and positioning of the pump may affect it's performance. Always consult the factory for recommendations that will optimize your system.
- OPERATIONAL AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
- Please read these Operational and Installation Guidelines before installing the 6800 Series
- Booster Pump. If additional help is needed, please consult the Factory.
- CAUTIONS:
- 1. The pump is equipped with either a fixed or adjustable bypass valve which controls the maximum operating pressure.
- 2. Never operate the pump in harsh environment or hazardous atmosphere, since motor brush and switch may cause electrical arcing.
- 3. Pumphead materials are designed for use with water only. Do not use with petroleum products.
- 4. As long as there is feed water pressure, the pump will not stop forward flow of water even if the motor is turned off. Be sure the system has positive means of shutting off water supply.
- 5. Always consider electrical shock hazard when working with and handling electrical equipment.
- If uncertain, consult an Electrician. Electrical wiring should only be done by a qualified
- Electrician per Local and State Electric Codes.
- MOUNTING:
- A. The pump should be mounted in a dry place and away from any source of heat. If an
- enclosure is used, special provisions for cooling the motor may be necessary. Consult the
- factory.
- B. Do not subject the Pump to extreme high or low (freezing) temperatures while in operation.
- (Operating ambient temperatures range is 32°F to 115°F)
- C. The pump may be mounted in any position. If “ceiling mounted”, however, with the pump
- head upside down, air entrapment may reduce the operational performance by up to 15%.
- Consult Aquatec for ceiling mount solutions.
- PLUMBING:
- A. We recommend use of flexible tubing with proper pressure rating.
- B. Pump will prime only if all pressure is relieved from the outlet port.
- C. It is recommended that an in-line sediment filter be installed at the inlet side to keep
- foreign debris out of the system.
- D. Avoid any sharp bends which may crimp tubing and restrict flow. Use 90° elbow fittings
- if necessary.
- E. The pump should always be mounted prior to the carbon pre-filter to prevent carbon
- particles from entering the pump chambers and possibly causing clogging.
- ELECTRICAL:
- A. The 6800 series pumps are designed for continuous duty. If used for intermittent duty
- cycle, make sure that “off” periods are greater than 60 seconds. Consult the Factory for
- particular data and design criteria.
- B. If a power supply used with the system is not furnished by Aquatec, it will need to be
- reviewed for correct application and approval by Aquatec.
- INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- The basic 6800 pump consists of a pump and transformer unit. Systems may be supplied
- with other options: e.g. PSW system pressurized shut-off switch. LPP low feed-water shutoff switch, TLC tank level controller or AFT membrane auto-flush valve or AFR membrane auto-flush flow restrictor valve. Pumps are completely assembled, tested and ready for immediate connection to your R.O. system.
- 1. Determine the optimum location for your pump before proceeding.
- Note: Locate the pump after the sediment pre-filter and before the carbon pre-filter
- (If part of R.O. system).
- 2. Turn off water.
- 3. Cut the 1/4” or 3/8” O.D. flexible tubing in sufficient length to avoid any stress on the tubing where it connects to the pump or the fitting on any accessory.
- 4. Insert tubing into pump ports. If fittings are John Guest type, be sure tubing is inserted past the resistance point until it bottoms out against the port stop. If the compression fittings with threaded nuts are used, insert tubing until it bottoms out in the port and hand tighten the compression nut until the connection is tight. Then tighten the nut 1/2 turn clockwise or follow the wrench tightening instructions provided by fitting manufacturer.
- 5. The “CDP” pump is now ready for operation. Open feed-water valve to allow water to flow through the R.O. system (Open flow-restrictor by-pass valve if part of R.O. system).
- 6. If the power source is a transformer, plug the appropriate Aquatec supplied/approved transformer into the receptacle and connect the pump to the transformer. If the power source is not a transformer, connect the pump to the appropriate power source. Allow water to circulate, purging any entrapped air. For pumps equipped with our “AFT” autoflush, the flow restrictor by-pass will open and close automatically when the transformer is plugged in.
- 7. The pump will now start building pressure. Operating pressure will vary with membrane flow rate, flow restrictor flow rate, feed-water pressure and line voltage. Check for fitting leaks.
- Note: If the flow restictor is too small (We recommend 300Ml/min. for standard CDP 6800 series pumps and 500Ml/min. for CDP 8800 series pumps), or if the R.O. systems is clogged, an internal pump by-pass mechanism limits the output pressure.
- 8. If compression fittings with threaded nuts are used, observe any leaks after pump has run
- for approximately 15 minutes. Further tighten compression nuts approximately 1/8 to
- 1/4 of a turn on all fittings in the system. Wait 15 minutes and repeat the leak check.
- Note: Further adjustments should not be necessary although it may take several
- days of operation before all air has been purged and the system is stabilized.
