General Comments on Injection Systems
An Injection System consists of a metering pump,
related tubing, pump start relay, and a feed tank.
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:

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.

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.

Diaphragm Metering Pump PZ Series:
Installation
D. 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.

General Warranty Information
General Statement
Because of the nature of the water treatment business, we can warranty our hardware — the pumps,
tanks and parts that feed chemicals — but cannot
make a blanket guarantee as to the performance of
our chemicals in the field. 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.

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.

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.
