HOW THE WATERBOY WIZARD WORKS

Data:

Minimum mains pressure:

200kPa

Maximum mains pressure:

1000kPa

(Pressure Limiting Valve limits mains pressure

to 350KPA must be ﬁtted)

Related supply voltage: 240V ac

Maximum pump power rating: 1100W

Water temperature range:

1°C to 40°C

Ambient temperature range:

1°C to 40°C

Simplifying Rainwater Harvesting:

1) Using water from the rainwater tank the

Wizard supplies this to the toilet, washing

machine or garden tap.

2) When the tank is empty (or in case of

pump failure), mains water is automatically

supplied instead, to ensure a reliable supply

of water to the home.

3) The Wizard works on pressure:

When there is drop in pressure the pump

controller activates the pump, closes the

solenoid valve and water from the tank is

pumped through the system.

The pump will run for a short time then

will shut o. If there is no water in the tank

then the pump will detect no water and

shut down opening the solenoid valve and

water is supplied via the mains. This is an

automated function.

WARNING! Waterboy Wizard and

Waterboy Products must be installed and

serviced by a licensed plumber. Please

follow installation instructions carefully.

Errors during install will not be covered by

the 2 year guarantee.

ASSEMBLING THE WIZARD CONTROLLER

Step 1: Remove contents from

packaging. Make sure the items

shown are present.

Step 2: Check that the valve train

connection has been pre-greased.

If not apply tap grease to the O-ring.

Step 3: Attach the valve train to

the pressure controller.

DO NOT over-tighten!

Over-tightening will break

the O-ring.

Step 4: Connect valve train power

socket to the pressure controller.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION

!The Waterboy Wizard must be located within 3 metres of the tank

outlet and with a 240VAC power point within a metre.

!The Pressure Limiting Valve supplied with the unit must be ﬁtted.

!There should also be a stop cock or isolation valve ﬁtted to the tank

and on the mains inlet to the Waterboy.

Step 1: Locate the ideal pump

position – clean, level, dry and

no further than 3m from tank.

Step 3: Attach BARREL UNION to

pump outlet. Make sure thread tape

is applied to the male connection.

Make sure there is an O-ring in good

condition on the female connection.

Step 4: Thread Wizard assembly to

the BARREL UNION/pump outlet.

DO NOT over-tighten!

Over-tightening will break the O-ring.

Step 2: Connect the tank outlet

line to the pump inlet using a

suitable sealant.

INSTALLATION

Step 5: Connect the mains

inlet line to the valve train

inlet using a suitable sealant.

Step 6: Connect mains outlet

using a suitable sealant.

Step 7: Install a ﬁlter between

the tank and tank inlet. This

ensures that clean water is

supplied to the pump.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Priming of Pump

1. Fill tank to a level above the draw o point

2. Turn on the water supply from the tank.

3. Prime the pump by removing the priming

point from the top of pump chamber and

allowing the tank water to ﬁll the pump

chamber, or by ﬁlling the pump chamber

with water from an external supply. Once

this is done reﬁt the Priming point.

4. Turn on the power supply (at power point)

which will start the pump, this will run until

the air in the system is pressurized.

5. At this stage turn on the Mains water

supply

Installation Tips:

• The Waterboy Wizard is designed to be

installed at ground level along side tank.

Although the cover is waterproof, the

system should ideally be installed in a

covered area.

• Make sure the water inside the tank is clean

(it may be necessary to ﬂush out pipes also)

• Do not use the system for any other

purpose other than what is speciﬁed in this

manual.

• Locate system in a place that will not be

subject to freezing – water freezing inside

the wateryboy unit will damage the system.

OPERATION

Before you start:

1. Make sure pump is primed (see

commissioning procedure Page 4)

2. Waterboy Wizard is designed to handle

clean water, do not use the system to

supply bore water, dam water, grey water,

storm water or recycled water.

3. Ensure wiring, plumbing and the system

are not accessible by children or pets

Filling your tank:

Should it not be possible to ﬁll the tank to

the required level the system may be

connected to the supply and outlet

connections, the mains water can then be

turned on but the power to the unit should

not be connected until there is sucient

water in the tank and the pump primed as

per the Commissioning Procedure.

We recommend you do not run the pump

without water - please turn pump o until

tank has replenished with sucient water.

You will need to prime the pump.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Turning On/O:

After all connections are made and the unit commissioned (as above) the mains water

change over can be tested by switching o the power supply and turning on the tap

activating the mains water ﬂow.

To return the system to run on the tank water supply, turn on the power supply.

The system will now operate on tank water and will automatically switch over to mains water

when the tank is empty or at a low level or there is a power failure. Once the tank has reﬁlled

to a level above the draw line the Waterboy Wizard will revert to using the tank water.

Maximising Performance:

- Install a ﬂush system to the home guttering to divert the initial run of water – this may

contain dirt and pollutants

- Fit a strainer to the top of your tank inlet to stop leaves entering the system

Maintenance

Whilst the Waterboy Wizard does not require regular maintenance we do suggest you carry

out the following to ensure its most reliable performance:

1. Clean gutters regularly and ensure water in the tank is kept clean

2. Thermal overload on pump
