Safety Considerations
All pumps are es ed for correc opera ion wi h

ha are no compa ible wi h wa er, disassemble
he pump liquid end and dry all par s horoughly
before use. The pump liquid end includes he
pump head, diaphragm, suc ion valve, discharge
valve and seals.
Warning: Use ex reme cau ion and
use appropria e personal pro ec ion
equipmen (goggles, chemical sui ,

chemical migh occur.
Warning: Do no urn he s roke

damage o he pump.
Warning: Ensure he pump and
con roller are disconnec ed from
power when making elec rical
connec ions and performing
service.

Tubing
Connec a cu - o-leng h piece of ubing be ween

Use only the black stiff tubing or
reinforced tubing for the
discharge line. Never use the
flexible clear vinyl tubing on the
discharge side of the pumper. It
is not rated for discharge
pressures or acid compatibility.
The ubing should be long enough o reach
wi hou any sharp bends ha migh collapse in o a
kink. Once a proper leng h piece of ube has been
cu , place a ube nu on o each end of he ube
making sure he hreads of he nu face he

It is important that the tubing
slide over the nipple and remain
there while the tube nut is
tightened. If the tube is not
covering the nipple the tube can
be in danger of popping off
when it is pressurized. Sometimes the tube
must be flared using a flaring tool prior to
installation.

Here, the clear vinyl tubing may be used when
not feeding acids. This tubing is not suitable

Drain Tubes
The universal IPF and priming IPF each have a
priming ven fi ing. The ven is opened by
unscrewing he knurled priming ven knob. This is
done only o prime he pumper and o ven air
from he discharge line. Never open he ven more

liquid will come ou he ven (possibly wi h grea

Attaching tubes to these vents

Electricity and Wiring
Warning! Disconnect power to the
controller and pump before making
any electrical connections.
Solenoid pumps require 120VAC, 60hz, 0.6 amps,
0.066kw. Do no remove he grounding erminal
on he plug.
Model ‘P’ with J dvanced Controller
When connec ing pump models ‘SP-XXP’ o he J
advanced con roller, he pump is connec ed o a
pump ou pu . ‘P’ models canno be used wi h
legacy J+ con rollers.
Firs , choose an ou pu o connec he pump and
make sure he jumper is se o he ‘Solenoid
Pump’ Posi ion.
Warning! Failure to properly set the
jumper position will damage the
solenoid pump and re uire factory
repair.
Nex , wire he red ‘2’ wire from he solenoid pump
o he #2 posi ion on he proper ou pu . Wire he
black ‘GND’ wire o he any of he posi ions on he
‘GND’ erminal block of he J Advanced ou pu
board. Refer o he J Advanced manual for
configuring he pump ou pu .
Model ‘M’ with Legacy J+ Controller
When connec ing pump models ‘SP-XXM’ o he
J+ con roller, he pump is connec ed o he wa er
me er erminals and shares he pulse signal from
he wa er me er wi h he J+ con roller.
Firs , loosen he 3 connec ions on he wa er me er
erminal block. On newer J+ models, he erminal
block can be unplugged o ease making
connec ions.
Nex , make sure he wa er me er wires are
inser ed in o he proper connec ors on he

wires ma ch he numbers on he erminal block.
For he wa er me er wire, black connec s o #1,

ensure ha bo h he wa er me er wires and he
solenoid pump wires are no loose.
Af er he pump has been properly wired o he

proceed o priming sec ion.
Priming
Place he foo valve/s rainer in o a con ainer of he
solu ion o be pumped, again following all
applicable safe y procedures for he chemical
being pumped.
The priming valve loca ed on he back of he
pump should be opened o assis wi h priming he
pump. If he pump is equipped wi h a universal or
priming IPF, he priming valve on he IPF can be
used ins ead of he valve on he pump.
Ensure ha he s roke capaci y knob on he pump
is se o 100%.
Be careful o only adjus he s roke
capaci y knob when he pump is pumping.
Damage will occur if he knob is adjus ed
while he pump is off.
Prime he pump by using he ‘Prime’ fea ure on
he J+ Advanced con roller. See he J+ Advanced
manual for ins ruc ions. Con inue he priming
rou ine un il solu ion can be seen flowing from he
priming valve. Once solu ions s ar s o run ou he
ven of he priming valve, close he priming valve
and cease priming he pump.
These ins ruc ions should be repea ed for each
pump if mul iple pumps are ins alled.
If he pump will no prime properly, check all he
ubing connec ions for igh connec ions and
repea he priming process. If prime s ill canno be
achieved, consul fac ory suppor .
WARNING! When working with
hazardous chemicals use
extreme caution and carefully
follow the handling instructions
and safety procedures in the
Material Safety Data Sheets. Use
only the 04094 Universal IPF
when feeding acid.

M INTEN NCE
Normally he pump should require li le
main enance. This, however, depends on he
quali y and cleanliness of he chemical being
pumped.
Before any main enance or service is performed,
observe he following precau ions:
●Disconnec he Solenoid Pump from
power source.
●Drain chemical from discharge ubing.
●Disconnec discharge ubing from pump.

suc ion applica ion, remove foo valve
from chemical con ainer.
●Observe relevan safe y pro ocols when
handling par s which have been in con ac
wi h hazardous chemicals.
The following procedures can preven many
po en ial problems:
●The pumper should be inspec ed a
regular in ervals for proper opera ion and
leaks.
●Check he suc ion and discharge valves
for cleanliness, chemical a ack, and scale
build-up.
●A some ime he elas omer par s(O-rings
and diaphragms) will have o be replaced.
Replacemen diaphragms, check valves
and o-rings are available for repairs.
●Periodically shu off he wa er and remove
and inspec he injec ion poin fi ing.
Reac ion of he chemical being injec ed
wi h he chemicals already in he wa er
can some imes cause scale o form. This
can res ric or even comple ely s op
chemical flow. If scale is found, clean i off
horoughly and es ablish a regular
schedule for checking he fi ings.
●Check o be sure all pumpers are properly
primed af er comple ing hese checks and
pu ing he feeder back in o service.
STOR GE
If a feeder will no be used for a long period:
●Remove i from service.
●Flush he pumper and chemical check
valves wi h wa er, or o her sui able
cleansing solu ion, ei her by pumping
wa er hrough he uni (if not feeding
acid) before removing i or by rinsing
hese par s af er removal.
●Tape he valve openings closed while s ill

preven insec s from plugging up he
openings.
Protect the entire system from
freezing temperatures. Our
warranty does not cover freeze
damage.
Problems With Chemicals
Some chemicals may no be compa ible wi h he
pumper diaphragm. You should check
compa ibili y of a chemical wi h he diaphragm
ma erial before pumping. Because we do no have
con rol of wha chemicals you pump, we do no
warran diaphragms or plas ic heads agains
chemical a ack.
Some chemicals can a ack he diaphragm or
head, causing i o s ick o he head. When his
happens i will no pump.
Changing chemicals wi hou flushing he head can
some imes cause a chemical reac ion which can
damage he diaphragm, plas ic head, or fi ings.
We able powders some imes cake up inside he
head. This reduces he pumping capaci y. If your
uni does no appear o pump as much as i
should, check he calibra ion. You may need o
remove and clean he plas ic head.
Problems With Diaphragms
The mos common problem wi h pumpers o her
han faul y check valves is a rup ured diaphragm.
A rup ured diaphragm will cause drainage ou he
drain hole in he bo om of he cylinder.
It is very important that you
replace a ruptured chemical side
diaphragm immediately. If you
do not, the chemical will attack
other components in the pump
causing them to fail also.
The spring and o her par s in he cylinder can also
be affec ed. Promp a en ion can save added
expensive repairs.
Changing the Chemical Side
Diaphragm
Use precautions when
dangerous chemicals are being
pumped; here you should
remove the chemical check
valves and wash the pump head
to remove any remaining
chemical. Use baking soda to
neutralize acid

Servicing the Chemical Valves
CAUTION! If the suction line
exits your chemical tank through
a bulkhead fitting the tank
should be empty before
servicing the chemical fittings.
WARNING! Chemical fittings and
tubing contain chemicals.
Spillage and leakage will occur
when disconnecting fittings.
OBSERVE PROPER
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE
CHEMICALS BEING PUMPED!
If you have an Anderson injec ion poin fi ing
(Illus ra ion 1) you may service he suc ion and
discharge check valves and Foo Valve/Bulkhead/
Flush Fi ing, wi h he sys em under pressure, bu
you should urn off he wa er flow hrough he
