Instructions
6.3.3. NOTES:
Connect one PE terminal to the green ground lead from the
pump and one to the ground lead from the main power
supply. Each PE terminal must be connected to its own
ground lead.
Maximum wire size of the cables to be connected to EZ
Boost controller is 10 AWG.
6.4. Positioning the pressure sensor
Pressure losses often cause inconvenience to the user.
The EZ Boost controller keeps the pressure constant in
the place where the pressure sensor is positioned (see EZ
Boost System Diagram on page 16). In the diagram tap 1 is
placed close to the pressure sensor. Therefore, the pressure
will be kept nearly constant at tap 1, as the friction loss is
small. At the shower and tap 2, the friction loss is greater.
This, of course, depends on the piping. Therefore, it is
recommended that the pressure sensor be positioned
as close to the places of consumption as possible. The
maximum shielded cable length for the sensor must not
exceed 1600 feet.

Description
6.5. Diaphragm Pressure Tank
The EZ Boost controller is designed to work with a 2 gal.
diaphragm tank. Install a diaphragm tank to insure that the
BMQE will shut off at zero flow. The diaphragm tank must
be installed at some point between the BMQE pump and
the pressure sensor.
6.5.1 Pre-charge Pressure Setting
The pre-charge pressure of the diaphragm tank must be set
to 70% of the pressure setting in order to use the tank to
the limit of its capacity.
Use the values in the following table. Pre-charge pressure is
measured with 0 PSI in the pipeline:
Setting (PSI)
40
50
60
70
80
90
100
Note:
If the pre-charge pressure is higher than the
pressure setting, the system will have difficulty controlling
the pressure.
If the user wants to adjust the pressure without changing
the pre-charge pressure of the diaphragm tank, the pre-
charge pressure must be equal to the lowest pressure
setting used. Failure to follow this instruction will increase
pressure fluctuations.
6.6. Pressure Relief Valve
In order to provide protection against the possibility of over
pressurization, a pressure relieve valve may be installed
down stream of the BMQE. If a relief valve is installed, it
is recommended that its discharge be plumbed into an
appropriate drainage point.
6.7. Liquid filling and BMQE pump venting
The BMQE is filled with water through the suction port by
the water in the piping system.
1. The BMQE should be installed with the air relief vent
in the 12 o'clock position when installed horizontally
and when installed in the vertical position the air vent
must be at the top of the unit.
2. Loosen the air vent screw in the BMQE pump.
3. Fill the BMQE with water until it starts running out of
the vent hole.
4. Tighten the air vent screw.
