PRODUCT INSPECTION
The high pressure booster pump has been carefully
inspected and packaged to assure safe delivery. Inspect
the pump and fittings and report to the carrier any items
which are damaged or missing.
INSTALLATION
The pump is designed to boost city water pressure or
water pressure from a private water system. Use this high
pressure stream to wash down milk parlors, barns,
garages and driveways, or for fire protection.
The pump is portable with a convenient carrying handle.
If an existing pressure water system is to be used as a
water supply, it can be connected with available fittings
and 3/4” or 1” high pressure hose to the pump inlet. A
special heavy duty 3/4” or 1” suction hose with fittings is
available as an accessory. If pump is permanently mount-
ed on wall, use a 3/4” or 1” pipe or heavy-duty hose for
suction line. 20 GPM models require one-inch discharge
hose to reduce friction losses.
Hazardous pressure. Pump body may
explode if pressures exceed rated limits. Maximum inlet
pressure is 80 PSI. Maximum discharge pressure is 315
PSI. Warranty is void if these pressure limits are exceeded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions cover high pressure booster pump
installations as shown below:
Discharge Discharge
Pressure Pressure
No. of PSI at PSI at
GPM HP Stages Rated Flow* No Flow*
10 1/2 6 74 113
10 3/4 8 97 147
10 110 134 188
TABLE I - DISCHARGE PRESSURE
*For total discharge pressure, add this pressure to suction pipe pres-
sure. For example, a 1 HP pump taking suction from an 80 psi water ser-
vice line will produce 188 + 80 = 268 psi total discharge pressure at 0
GPM flow. If suction pressure drops to 50 psi, discharge pressure will
drop to 238 psi at 0 GPM flow.
