120 degrees F (50°C). Higher temperatures will affect the output as well as the useful life of the pump. While the AromaMist pump is suitable for most outdoor installations, do not use the standard poly tubing in direct sunlight. If you must mount pump in direct sunlight or under bright fluorescent lights, consult your distributor or the factory.
C. Plumbing 1. Piping Connections The AromaMist pump uses carefully matched components to achieve a predictable metering output. This predictability can only be maintained if all fitting sizes remain unaltered. Do not attempt to reduce tubing size. All tubing connections should be double-checked to insure against leakage. If hazardous chemicals are being pumped, use shielding around discharge tubing.
