INSTALLATION
Brace inlet and outlet connections
while fitting the Digital Water
Switch. Any movement of
connections may disturb internal
seals and cause leakage.
If the incoming mains pressure
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
other appliances such as washing
machines, hot water service and
dishwashers.

HELPFUL HINTS
In this manual the VFB-DSU is pictured with
a jet pump. If you're installing the VFB-DSU
with a submersible pump, the connection will
differ slightly.
If connecting a VFB-DSU to a submersible
pump, you will need to mount the VFB-DSU
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.
5. Thread the nipple into the base of the
switching unit until it is watertight. Do not
overtighten.
