PM10 MISTER PUMP
Installation & Operation Instructions
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION.
FOR BEST RESULTS, PLAN AND SKETCH YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM BEFORE BEGINNING.
THIS WILL HELP TO AVOID WASTE AND REDUCE INSTALLATION TIME.
1. When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked
against the packing slip to ensure that the order is complete. Examine
carton(s) for shipping damage. If the unit is damaged, the carrier, if still
present, should make the proper notification on the receipt noting the
damage. Otherwise report the damage directly to the carrier.
2. The pump is the heart of our system and prior to installing there are a few
things to consider. Location, Location, Location. Keep in mind that the pump
needs to be supplied with power and water, plus the high pressure vinyl
tubing (mist line tubing) connects to the outlet of the pump and access to
the pump is necessary. A good location is one that accommodates all these
connections without difficulty.
• Marine based application: For a typical marine installation, a good
place for the pump is in the engine room, machinery compartment,
lazarette, or even sometimes under the flybridge, all suit the needs.
Though the pump module enclosure is powder coated aluminum, we
still recommend that the unit be protected from salt water intrusion.
WARNING: Our pumps are not ignition protected and therefore should
not be placed in a bilge or hold that could contain flammable vapors
i.e. gasoline.
• Residential and Commercial based applications: For a typical
residential or commercial installation, a good place for the pump is
next to other pumps, such as a pool filtration system or an air
conditioning unit. Rain will not affect our pumps, but we do
recommend a covered location if at all possible.
Once this location is decided upon, secure the pump to a firm surface
utilizing the mounting flange.
3. Prior to start up, situate and mount your Mister Pump in the Machinery
wherever water & power are most readily available. See above for
recommended locations. Incorporated into your Mister Pump is a 1000psi
pressure gauge and an adjustable unloader valve to control the output
pressure. At any given time while operating, the operational pressure should
be between 600 -1000psi. Do not exceed 1000psi. When ready, ENSURE the
WATER IS ON BEFORE YOU TURN ON THE PUMP.
4. Connect the 1/2” blue water supply line to a standard 3/4” hose bibb, utilizing
the adapter fitting provided, or tee into an existing water line. The water
supply line should be seated into the 1/2” Quick Connect fitting on the pump
1

module labeled INLET. When ready, ENSURE THE WATER IS TURNED ON BEFORE
YOU TURN ON THE PUMP.
5. From your pump location, map out the route for the mist line (high pressure
tubing) and placement of the Mister JetTM. Once you have determined the
position of the jets and the path of the mist line to each of the jets, begin
cutting the mist line tubing to the appropriate lengths, make sure the mist line
tubing is cut straight and clean. Only cut the needed lengths.
6. Begin assembling the mist line by connecting the pre-cut mist line tubing into
the Quick Connect Mister Jet™ tees. Make sure the tubing slides beyond the
o-ring seal located inside the Quick Connect fitting; this is achieved with a
firm push and turn motion.
7. The mist line is now ready to be mounted. Whether mounting the mist line to
the underside of an overhead structure, routing through the interior of a
structure, or routing the line through landscaping with Mister Stakes™, place
and mount the tees (NOT including the Mister Jets™ at this time) which are all
connected via the mist line. When securing the mist line near a Quick
Connect fitting, allow 3 inches on each side of the fittings for a P-Clamp or zip
ties. Pull mist line tightly as you secure the tubing to the structure, as to hold
the tubing straight into the Quick Connect fittings.
8. Now that the mist line is routed, it is time to connect the OUTLET Quick
Connect on the Mister Pump.Continue outward from the OUTLET Quick
Connect fitting on the pump to the first tee fitting on the mist line, securing
the line every 2 feet with P-clamps or zip ties along the way. Be careful not
to twist or crimp the line. Trim any excess tubing and Quick Connect the first
tee fitting on the mist line.
9. Ensure water supply is ON, (providing at least 25psi INLET pressure), then turn
the system on. Allow the system to flush for approximately 5 minutes. Then,
start screwing in the Mister Jets™beginning with the one closet to the pump,
working away from the pump until finished – turn off the pump. Note the
pressure of the streaming water will increase as you mount the jets into each
individual fitting.
10. Now that any possible debris or particles have been cleared from the line, it is
time to Tee into the OUTLET mist line, near the pump and install the Auto-Drain
Valve assembly. Cut the OUTLET mist line near the pump and insert the Auto-
Drain Valve assembly at a point in the line where water can run out of the
valve – this helps in the building of pressure when the system is turned ON and
clears the line of water each time the system is turned OFF. Turn the pump on
and allow the system to operate for a few minutes to completely fill the mist
line. Do not be alarmed, water will shoot from the Auto-Drain Valve assembly
when the water is initially turned ON, until pressure in the mist line is achieved.
The valve will shut off when the line is pressurized.
• NOTE: The area below the Auto-Drain Valve will receive the
water that is left in the system. Be sure this area is suitable for
moisture.

11. Ensure the water supply is ON and turn the pump ON. Make sure the pump
pressurizes to the operating pressure, beginning at 600psi and working up to
1000psi. This will cause the tubing to expand in the fittings. Check for any
leaks at this point. Should a leak occur, turn the pump off and remove the
fittings by depressing the locking ferrule against the fittings and pulling away
from the tubing. Be sure the tubing end is cut cleanly and re-insert the tubing
into the fitting, making sure the tubing seats beyond the o-ring. Push in hard.
12. Check the operation of the Auto Drain Valve by running the system for
several minutes and then shutting the system OFF. The valve should open to
release any excess water from the system within a few minutes.
13. Congratulations! Your system is installed.
