INSTALLATION
Brace inlet and outlet connections
while fitting the Digital Water
Switch. Any movement of
connections may disturb internal
seals and cause leakage.

to the property is greater than
the specified 1000kPa, please
fit a pressure reduction valve
of appropriate capacity upstream
of the Digital Water Switch.
The recommended pressure is
500kpa to suit AS/NZS 3500.
Fitting this type of device to the
entire house will extend the life of

machines, hot water service and
dishwashers.

onto a bracket.
1. Wrap thread tape around both ends of
a 25mm nipple.
2. Thread the nipple into the female socket
of the pump discharge until it is watertight.
Do not overtighten.
3. Connect the 25mm female end of the
barrel union to the nipple until it is
watertight. Do not overtighten.
4. Wrap thread seal tape around another
25mm nipple.

The error light on the VADA Flow Boss VFB-APC indicates specific fault conditions such as:

- Error Code 1: "PUMP DRY" – Tank water is empty. The unit is using mains water. Refill the tank, then turn the power off and on or press 'Reset'.
- Error Code 2: "MAX RUN TIME" – Pump has reached maximum run time. Check for leaks or adjust the max run time setting.
- Error Code 3: "OVER CURRENT" – Over current detected. Check for mechanical resistance or electrical faults in the pump.
- Error Code 4: "NO PUMP CONNECTED/CHECK FUSE" – No load detected. Check pump connection and inspect the fuse.

The error light turns on to signal one of these issues.
