NOTES
Before installing your new pump, please read all instructions carefully as failures
caused by incorrect installation or operation are not covered by the guarantee. Your
Davey pressure system is designed to handle clean water. The system should not be
used for any other purpose without specic referral to Davey. The use of the system to
pump ammable, corrosive and other materials of a hazardous nature is specically
excluded.
NOTE:Priortoinstallationremovetheredtransportplugsfromthesuctionand/ordischarge.

NOTE: The Torrium2® controller tted to this pump is adaptive. If your
pump draws air or is subject to blockage, the Torrium2 adapts to its new
maximum pressure. This may result in your system pressure not dropping
below the new cut-in pressure and your pump not starting. Should this
occur, re-prime your pump units as detailed above. Should this not prove
successful, it is likely you have a blockage in the pump. You should
contact your Davey dealer for assistance.

Fitting the Torrium2®directly to the Pump
TheTorrium2®isttedwitharotarycoupling.This
couplingallowsthepumpcontrollertobetted
simplyandeasilytothepumpdischarge.
Insidethebagcontainingtheseinstructionsisa1”
(FxF)socketandsomethreadtape.Wrapthread
tapearoundbothpumpoutletandTorrium2®inlet
andconnectthecontrollertothepumpwiththe
socket.Thecontrolleradaptornutisabletorotate
independentoftheTorrium2®andthecomplete
pump,thisallowsittobetightenedontothepump
easily.Foreaseofinstallationatighteningtoolis
includedwithTorrium2®totightenthecontrollernuttoensurearmconnectionto
yourcontroller.
Theabilitytorotatetheadaptornutalsomeansthatthecompletecontroller,once
ttedtothepump,canberotatedafull360ointhehorizontalplane,withoutcausing
thecouplingtounscrewfromthepumpoutlet.
With Torrium2®you can connect the discharge pipework to the
discharge port and/or the vertical priming port. The priming port is
able to be used as a discharge port.
WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power
is switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections should be
serviced only by qualied persons. If the electrical supply lead of this
pressure system is damaged, it must be replaced.
NOTE:
a) For protection, the Davey® pump motor is tted with an automatic
“over temperature” cut-out. Constant tripping of this overload device
indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive ambient
temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure.
b) The Torrium2®control device may have to be reset after rectifying any
of the above operating troubles. This is done by pushing in the “prime”
button and releasing it after 2 seconds, or switching the power supply
off then on.
Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid
possible injury from pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by
opening a tap on the discharge side of the pump and allow any hot water in
the pump to cool before attempting to dismantle.
During servicing, use only approved, non-petrochemical based oring and
gasket lubrication. If unsure, consult your Davey Dealer for advice.
WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon propelled
sprays around the electrical components of this pump.
In accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that
this pump is not to be used by children or inrm persons and must not be
used as a toy by children.
NOTE: The Torrium2®controller is adaptive. If your pump draws air or is subject to
blockage, the Torrium2®adapts to its new maximum pressure. This may result in
your system pressure not dropping below the new cut-in pressure and your pump
not starting. This is more likely to occur when boosting mains pressure. Should this
occur, re-prime your pump unit. Should this not prove successful, it is likely you have
a blockage in the pump. You should contact your Davey dealer for assistance.

Choosing a Site
Chooseasitewitharmbaseandasclosetothewatersourceaspossiblewith
correctpowersupply.Makesureyourpressuresystemisalwaysconnectedtoan
adequate,reliablesourceofcleanwater.
Housing your Davey Pressure System
Toprotectyourpressuresystemfromtheweather,makesurethe
pumphouseisbothwaterproof,frostfreeandhasadequate
ventilation.Thepumpshouldbehorizontallymountedona
rmbaseallowingfordrainage,toavoiddamagetoooring
etc.,thatovertimemayoccurfromleakingpipejointsor
pumpseals.Donotmountthepumpvertically.
Discharge Connections
TheTorrrium2®offerstheoptionofusingoneorbothoutletoptions.
Useofthehorizontaloutletonlyallowsforeither:
1. Easyaccesstoprimethepumpand/ortheremovaloftheinbuiltTorriumcheck
valve
2. Fitmentofapressuretank(upto20litrecapacity)ontotheprimingport/vertical

tobeusedbychildrenorinrmpersonsandmustnotbeusedasatoybychildren.
Pipe Connections
ForbestperformanceuseP.V.C.or
polythenepipesatleastthesame
diameterasthepump’sinletanddelivery
outletopenings.Largerdiameterpipe
maybeusedtominimiseresistanceto
owwhenpumpinglongerdistances.
NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are tted with an automatic
reset thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a
problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 50°C) in
pump enclosure.
Power Connection
Connectleadtopowersupplydesignatedonpumplabel.Donotuselong
extensionleadsastheycausesubstantialvoltagedrop,poorpumpperformance
andmaycausemotoroverload.
The Davey Torrium2® tted to this pump has status indicator light mounted
on its front panel. These lights will only work when unit is connected to an
electrical supply.
The electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualied
electrician and comply with applicable local standards.
For Automatic Pressure Pumps Installed with a
Mains Pressure Hot Water System
Toprotectyoursystemfromdamagecausedbyback
pressurefromhotwatersystems.Youshouldalways
haveinstalledonthehotwaterinletanapprovednon-
returnvalve.
Connection of Mains Scheme or Town Water
Supply to either Suction or Discharge of Pumps &
Pressure Systems
MostWaterSupplyAuthoritieshavestrictregulationsregardingdirectconnectionof
pumpstomainswatersupplies.Inmostcasesanisolatingtankisrequiredbetween
mainssupplyandpump.Daveyalsorecommendthismethod.Directlyapplied
mainspressurecanexceedpumpoperatingpressureanddamagepump.
Davey Water Products Pty Ltd can not
accept responsibility for loss or damage
resulting from incorrect or unauthorised
installations.
NOTE: Always ensure hot water
systems are installed in compliance with
manufacturers recommendations and in
accordance with all local regulations.
Priming and Operation
TheTorrium2®modulettedtoyourXPorXJsystemisprovidedwithapushbutton
“Prime”button.Thisbuttonisusedduringinitialprimingofthepumpandalsoacts
asaresetbuttoniftheTorrium2®switchesoutinpumpprotectionmode.
1. Removeprimingplugandll
casingandsuctionline(onooded

Where to use Check Valves and Foot Valves
TheTorrium2®controllerhasaninbuiltnon-return(check)valvetted.Inooded
suctioninstallationsthereisnoneedtohaveasuctionnon-returnvalve.
Insuctionliftinstallationsafootvalvewillnormallyberequiredforthepumpto
retainprime.
Insomesuctionliftinstallationstheremaybegoodreasontoremovetheinbuilt
checkvalvetoensurethatthedischargepressureisalsoappliedtothesuctionline
andfootvalve.Thiscouldbewherethesuctionlinewasverylongorwherethere
wasconcernregardingaleakingfootvalve.Thismaynotalwaysbeapplicableand
itisacceptabletoretaintheinbuiltcheckvalveintheTorrium2onsuctionliftswith
goodsuctionplumbing.
Shouldtheinbuiltcheckvalveberemovedthough,anadditionalaccumulator
shouldbettedtotheTorrium2,ordischargepipeworkasapplicable,toensurethe
pumpisnotcycledonshutdown.Thesizeofthisaccumulatorwilldependonthe
size,lengthandtypeofpipeusedonthesuction.
Torrium2 Check Valve Removal
Useunionsatpipeconnectionstoenableeasyremoval
andservicing.Usesufcienttapetoensureairtightseal
andhandtightenonly.Topreventstrainonpumpthreads
alwayssupportheavyinletandoutletpipes.Ifthereis
alikelihoodthewatersupplymaycontainsolidparticles
suchaspiecesofplantorvegetablematter,altershould
beinstalledbeforethepumptoavoidblockingofwater
ways.Laysuctionpipeataconstantgradienttoavoidair
pocketswhichmayreducepumpefciency.
NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and
are difcult to detect. Ensure all connections are completely sealed using
thread tape only.
Flexible pipe should be considered to allow for movement between
building, pump and/or water supply. Braided hose, reinforced hose or
polythene pipe are suitable.
Do not use pipe thread sealing compounds on any part of this pump. ONLY
use Teon sealing tape.
Removeprimingcapand
turnovercap.Lugson
capwillengagecheck
valvetounscrew.
Extra Draw-off Capacity
TheTorrium2®controllerhasanin-builtaccumulatorwhichwillaccommodatesmall
leaks.Insomeapplicationsitmaybeappropriatetoinstalladditionalaccumulator
(Supercellpressuretank)capacity.Theseapplicationsincludes:
• Longsuctionlines(seeSuctionLines/Lift)
• Lowowappliancesconnectedtothepump,suchasevaporativeair
conditioners,slowllingtoiletcisterns,etc.
Anyadditionalaccumulatorscanbeinstalledeitherinplaceofthepriming
plug(seeFigure1)fortanksupto20litrestotalcapacity,orforlargertanks,
downstreamofthecontroller(ie.betweenthecontrollerandtherstoutlet).
Whereextradraw-offcapacityisutilisedtheadditionalpressuretankshouldhavea
pre-chargeof70%ofthemaximumsystem(shut-off)pressure.
Evaporative coolers, RO lters and extra draw-off

FittheSupercellpressuretank(upto20litrestotalcapacity)tothetankconnection/
priming port with thread tape and pipe socket.Firmlyhand tighten.Forlargertanks,
theseshouldbeinstalleddownstreamofthecontroller.
NOTE: If tting a tank to the priming port, you may require a 1”
BSP socket, since both Torrium2®prime port and tank are 1” male
threads.
DO NOT USE THREAD SEALING COMPOUNDS, HEMP OR PIPE DOPE!

Abrasive Materials
The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the pressure
system which will then not be covered by the guarantee.
