Omnitec OWF115 User manual

Maintenance:
The WFS will require frequent cleaning of the inlet mesh
screen and periodic filter replacement. Watch for the follow-
ing indications of required service caused by plugged screen
or filters:
- Reduced water flow
- Pump is surging and straining
- Pump shuts down when filters are loaded and discharge
pressure reaches 45 psi
Troubleshooting
Pump will not start
- Check power is ON
- Check the circuit breaker on the WFS unit is not tripped
- Check that GFCI on WFS unit is not tripped
- Correct voltage 115 VAC (+/- 10%)
- Check if pump is hot - thermo protection shuts down motor
at 230° F and restarts automatically when cooled down
- Check that outlet hose is not kinked
Pump will not prime
- Out of water supply
- Inlet screen is plugged - Clean inlet screen; operation with-
out this screen is not recommended
- Check for a large amount of sediment in filter housing.
Replace the 20 and 5 micron filters if required
- Suction hose has a serious vacuum leak
- Inlet or outlet hose has a sharp kink
- Pumping housing is cracked

The Omnitec Design Water Filtration System is a self priming,
positive displacement pump with up to 9 feet vertical lift. The
unit has a #50 mesh screen on the inlet side with 20 and 5
micron filters downstream of the pump to remove fine
suspended impurities. When properly used, the OWF System
can be used for intermittent or continuous service.
CAUTION - Pump Limitations
DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP IN AN EXPLOSIVE
ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT ASSUME FLUID COMPATIBILITY
DO NOT ADJUST PRESSURE SWITCHES WITHOUT
CONSULTING WITH PUMP MANUFACTURER
DO NOT USE PUMP WITH FLUIDS AT
TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN 130° F
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking: Check unit for damage.
Operation: Place the Water Filtration System (WFS) close
to the waste water source on a level, dry surface standing up-
right. WFS pump is self priming and the discharge pressure is
factory set at 45 psi.
To start the machine:
1. Connect the suction hose (garden hose thread) from the
waste water source to WFS inlet connection, and from WFS
outlet to drain. Make sure the hose is not kinked or damaged.
2. Connect power cord to 115VAC grounded circuit. Keep the
cord out of water and do not route it under the unit.
3. Turn unit ON and wait for the pump to prime the system.
Check that the water is discharging from the unit.
Note: New filters take longer to fill with water.
4. When the water source is depleted, turn the pump OFF.
The pump can operate dry without damage, but it is better to
shut it down.
