NOTE: Prior to installation remove the inlet and outlet
pipe transport plugs & associated seals from the
suction and/or discharge ports.
WARNING : The Torrium2 controller, pump and associated pipework operate
under pressure. Under no circumstances should the Torrium2 controller,
pump or associated pipework be disassembled unless the internal pressure
of the unit has been relieved. Failure to observe this warning will expose
persons to the possibility of personal injury and may also result in damage
to the pump, pipework or other property.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and comply with all applicable
codes may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

If you use the vertical outlet instead or as well, you need to consider access to the inbuilt check valve in the Torrium. Davey suggest you use the enclosed flexible connection to allow for ease of access to the check valve. - Page 5 All wiring must conform to National (NEC), CSA, state, provincial, and local codes. Power supply voltage, phase and controls must match motor. The Davey Torrium2 fitted to this pump has status indicator light mounted on its front panel. These lights will only work when unit is connected to an electrical supply.

NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are fitted with an automatic reset thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 115°F) in pump enclosure. Pipe Connections For best performance use P.V.C. - Page 7 Evaporative coolers, RO filters and extra draw-off capacity Where a Torrium2 equipped pump is required to supply water to an evaporative cooler, reverse osmosis (R.O.) filter or similar low flow device, the Torrium2 will detect the limited demand. This will result in the Torrium2 adapting to the slow demand. The pump start pressure will be allowed to drop to a lower cut in pressure each time low flows are detected.

Questions and answers
New problem with my BT 14-45 with Torium2 controller. After fixing a cycling and pressure problem by eliminating air and water leaks the pump is now loosing pressure. No cycling, no indicator lights flashing. Sounds normal. But pressure drops to nothing after a short period of use. Power cycling the pump helps for a short while. I will try calling tomorrow afternoon your time. We are in Alaska - 4 hour time difference. Thanks in advance for your help
After fixing air and water leaks, pressure loss in a Davey BT14-300 pump with a Torrium2 controller could be caused by:
1. Blocked impellers or suction.
2. Closed discharge valve.
3. The Torrium2 adapting to a new maximum pressure due to earlier air intake or blockage, causing the system pressure to stay above the cut-in level, preventing the pump from starting.
Re-priming the pump may be necessary. If that fails, a blockage in the pump is likely.
