The metering pump may be either a diaphragm pump or a peristaltic pump. The system can be used with any type of sprinkler pump to inject Formula into lawn irrigation lines. The metering pump sends solution from the feeder tank into the irrigation line when the sprinkler system is turned on. Location Be sure to locate the feed tank where it can be easily accessed and serviced. Please note: • You must always match the voltage rating of the metering pump to the voltage of the power source. • Before installing any type of metering pump, you should be aware of local code requirements regarding both backflow prevention and electrical devices. • The injection valve at the end of the discharge line must be installed vertically on the bottom side of the water line to prevent back flow into the discharge line. If not using our Plug & Play Pump Start Relay you will need to splice another manufacturerʼs pump start relay or similar on/off control into the pump power cord. Your particular application may require a longer length of tubing leading from the pump to the discharge point than is normally supplied. The distance between the intake and/or discharge points and the metering pump can affect the pumpʼs ability to intake liquid or discharge it against a certain line pressure. The same is true for significant differences in elevation between intake and/or discharge points and the metering pump. These factors may require a metering pump rated for pumping against higher line pressure. Check the pump specifications to determine which type of metering pump your installation calls for. When in doubt, please call American Hydro: 1-800-347-7487 Top: 30 Gallon Injection System installation Left: Plug & Play Start Relay Injection System Manual American Hydro Systems www.americanhydro.com 1-800-347-7487 3 Injection System Installation 1 CASE 1: Well Used for Irrigation Only, No Pressure Tank 1. If there is no pressure tank, the metering pump may be connected to the pump start relay for the well pump so that the well pump and the metering pump turn on simultaneously. 2. Plumbing code typically requires a back flow preventer in the irrigation system. The metering pump Injection System Manual 4 injection point should be downstream of the back flow preventer and upstream of the first zone (between the backflow preventer and the first zone). 3. Plug the metering pump into the American Hydro Plug & Play Pump Start Relay. American Hydro Systems www.americanhydro.com 1-800-347-7487 Injection System Installation 2 CASE 2: Well Used for Drinking Water and Irrigation or Irrigation System Has a Pressure Tank 1. The metering pump must be connected to the controller unit for the irrigation system. This can be done by using the pump start circuit in the controller unit or by installing a separate pump start relay and connecting that relay to the controller unit. Injection System Manual 2. Plumbing code typically requires a backflow preventer. The metering pump injection point should be downstream of the pressure tank, the “T” for the drinking water line and between the backflow preventer and the first zone.

Priming the Pump 1. The pump is equipped with an air release priming valve installed in the center of the pump head. A. Installing the Injection Check Valve. 1. The purpose of the injection check valve is to prevent backflow from the treated line. 2. Turn off water supply. Drain irrigation system to relieve pressure on pipe. 3. A 1/2 " NPT female tee fitting with sufficient depth will accept the injection check valve. 2. Insert the supplied air release hose (clear) into the end of the air release joint. Be sure to insert the hose all the way into the base of the valve, and return the other end of the hose to the chemical tank. 3. Set the adjustment dial to 100% and turn on the power. 6. Connect nut, ferrule (if included) and discharge tube to the intake side of the check valve. Hand tighten only. 4. While the pump is running, rotate the air release valve by 1 to 1.5 turns in the counterclockwise direction. The residual air in the suction-side hose and pump head is discharged from the air release valve, and chemicals fill the pump head. Chemicals come out of the air release valve during this operation. Therefore, tighten the air release valve. Now the pump is primed and ready to operate. B. Connecting Discharge Tubing (Black Tube) 5. Return the adjustment dial to original setting for operation. 4. Install tee opening on the underside of the horizontal pipe. 5. Wrap sealing tape around the threads of the check valve, and then screw it into the tee for the irrigation line that will be treated. Note: Cut tubing for length needed for discharge line. 1. Route black tubing from the injection check valve to the metering pump, making sure it does not touch hot or sharp surfaces, or is bent so sharply that it kinks. 2. Slide the small opening of the clear hose nut onto the black tubing, then slide the grey retaining ring on. 3. Push black tubing onto the valve housing so that the tubing will not go any further. 4. Slide the retaining ring and the hose nut to the threads and engage. While pushing the tubing onto the discharge valve housing nozzle, tighten the hose nut by hand until the tube is held securely in place. C. Connecting Suction Tubing (Clear Tube) 1. Cut suction tubing to a length so that the foot valve hangs just above the bottom of the feed tank. This will keep dirt sediments from getting into the pump injectors. 2. Follow the same procedures in connecting the suction tubing to the suction valve head and the foot valve as you followed in B., above with the discharge tubing.

We do warranty that we have provided the appropriate amount of ingredients and that under stated conditions, they should perform as represented. Many factors over which we have no control affect the performance of our products. Actual well conditions, for instance, may differ from those represented to us when we recommend dosage rates. We have no control over the equipment installation, or the maintenance and service provided to sustain the performance of a water treatment system. A blanket guarantee of performance, given these conditions, would be impossible. On Rust Stain Prevention Our Formula chemicals work to prevent rust stains and corrosion by sequestering and chelating ferrous (clear water) iron in the well water. To the extent that there is ferric iron in the well water, we will not be able to prevent a stain. Generally speaking, ferric iron can be produced in two ways: A final point is that “mother nature” can interfere with the best application charts through changes in the water table. We would recommend that users test their water each year to monitor changes in iron, hardness and pH levels. FULL ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON PARTS THAT FAIL For one year from the date of purchase, we will replace any defective part of a feeder system, free of charge. This warranty extends to five years on certain molded tanks and a lifetime for the PumpHaus.™ We reserve the right to provide reconditioned parts as replacements. Warranty service is available by contacting your nearest American Hydro Systems products supplier. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. American Hydro Systems, Inc. 7201 Engle Road, Ft. Wayne IN 46804 1-800-347-7487 [email protected] By introducing air, chlorine or any other oxidizing agent into the well water prior to the point that our formulas are injected. By the presence of iron-related bacteria in the well water that produce ferric iron as a by-product of propagation. It is difficult to test well water to determine the amount of ferric iron present. Iron bacteria, in the other hand, signify their presence by reddish tinged water, slime on pipes, and slime and ”sludge” build-up around the edges and corners of an irrigation system. Please note that lake water or any other bodies of water exposed to the atmosphere can have substantial amounts of ferric iron that we cannot treat. As noted elsewhere in our literature, stains are also caused by tannin in the well water. We find that stains can appear with tannin in excess of 3 ppm. Our products do not prevent stains of an organic nature and tannins are organic. Injection System Manual American Hydro Systems www.americanhydro.com 1-800-347-7487 13 Return Policy on Metering Pumps General Policy Our warranty is extended through our distributors. We provide a one-year warranty from the date of purchase by the home owner. Proof of purchase should be provided as well as the pump serial number. Homeowner proof of purchase not being available, our warranty extends fifteen months from the date of sale to the contractor. We accept returned pumps and parts only if accompanied by a returned goods authorization (RGA) number that we supply. Pumps Under Warranty Upon receipt of the pump described in the RGA, we credit the distributor for the cost of the pump less the cost of any parts not returned. As an alternative to providing credit, we are glad to make repairs at no charge, supplying new parts and promptly returning the pump in operating condition. If we receive a returned pump for credit, not repair, within the warranty period and we determine it to be in operating condition, and that only a part needs to be replaced, we will deduct a service charge in addition to the deduction for any parts not returned. Pumps with cut cords are not covered by under warranty.
