Priming And Start-Up - Brac RESIDENTIAL Series Installation Manual And User's Manual

IX. Priming and Start-Up
After the BRAC SYSTEM has been completely installed, follow these steps to prime
and power up the system.
•
Open the ball valve on the freshwater IN pipe to allow the line to pressurize.
•
Plug in the transformer cord to a wall outlet. The fresh water solenoid valve should
open and the tank should begin to fi ll with clean water. When the water level reaches
the minimum amount required for the pump to operate safely, approximately 38
litres (10 USG), the valve will automatically close and shut-off the fresh water
supply. Make sure to have fi lled the suction pipe with water prior to installing.
•
Remove the small red cap from the top of the pump housing. Fill the small
compartment revealed under the red cap with water then replace the cap. See
Figure A. TIP: If a freshwater bypass line has been installed, open the bypass
shut-off valve to allow the lines to pressurize. Place a bucket under, or connect a
short hose to, the external irrigation/priming faucet and open faucet to expel any
remaining air in the lines. Close the bypass shut-off valve.
•
Plug in the pump's power cord. The pump should begin drawing water and
pressurizing the service lines. Once the pump is primed and the greywater OUT
line is pressurized, it will take 8 seconds before the pump shuts off. If the pump
fails to prime, unplug the pump, and repeat the three previous steps. Do not let the
pump continuously run when not primed. It may take multiple repeats of this step
to get the pump primed. Use the above TIP if possible.
•
Place a bucket under, or connect a short hose to, the external irrigation faucet
and open the faucet to test for adequate fl ow and proper pump function. This will
also release any additional air trapped in the system. Flush the toilets to test their
function, and to release any additional air trapped in the service lines.
•
If the pump fails to start or stop, the factory set pressure switch may need to be
adjusted. The instructions for the location and adjustments of the pressure switch
can be found in Section XV – Pump Manual.
