INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
“CDP” SERIES BOOSTER PUMPS
The basic “CDP” pump consists of a pump and transformer unit. Systems may be supplied with other
options: e.g. PSW system pressurized shut-off switch, LPP low feed-water shut-off switch, TLC tank
level controller or AFT membrane auto-flush valve or AFR membrane auto-flush/flow restrictor valve.
Pumps are completely assembled, tested and ready for immediate connection to your R.O. system.
Read the OPERATIONAL AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES on the other side carefully
before starting to install the pump. Consult the Factory if there is any question.
1. Determine the optimum location for you pump before proceeding.
NOTE: Locate the pump after the sediment pre-filter and before the carbon pre-filter
(If part of R.O. system).
2. Turn off the water.
3. Cut the 1/4” or 3/8” O.D. flexible tubing in sufficient length to avoid any stress on the tubing where
it connects to the pump or the fitting on any accessory.
4. Insert tubing into pump ports. If fittings are John Guest type, be sure tubing is inserted past the
resistance point until it bottoms out against the port stop. If compression fittings with threaded nuts
are used, insert tubing until it bottoms out in the port and hand tighten the compression nut until the
connection is tight. Then tighten the nut 1/2 turn clockwise or follow the wrench tightening
instructions provided by the fitting manufacturer.
5. The “CDP” pump is now ready for operation. Open the feed-water valve to allow water to flow
through the R.O. system (Open flow-restrictor by-pass valve if part of R.O. system).
6. If the power source is a transformer, plug the appropriate Aquatec supplied/approved transformer
into the receptacle and connect the pump to the transformer. If the power source is not a transformer,
connect the pump to the appropriate power source. Allow water to circulate, purging any entrapped
air. For pumps equipped with our “AFT” auto-flush, the flow restrictor by-pass will open and close
automatically when the transformer is plugged in.
7. The pump will now start building pressure. Operating pressure will vary with membrane flow rate,
flow restrictor flow rate, feed-water pressure and line voltage. Check for fitting leaks.
NOTE: If the flow restrictor is too small (We recommend 300Ml/min. for standard
CDP 6800 series pumps and 500Ml/min. for CDP 8800 series pumps), or if the R.O.
system is clogged, an internal pump by-pass mechanism limits the output pressure.
8. If compression fittings with threaded nuts are used, observe any leaks after pump has run for
approximately 15 minutes. Further tighten compression nuts approximately 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn on
all fittings in the system. Wait 15 minutes and repeat the leak check.
NOTE: Further adjustments should not be necessary although it may take several days
of operation before all the air has been purged and the system is stabilized.
SERVICING:
