Troubleshooting Chart:

Problem
Cause
1. No discharge a. No water
b. Magnetic valve not functioning
c. Excessive water pressure
d. Eductor clogged
e. Clogged water inlet strainer
2. No concentrate draw a. Clogged foot valve
b. Metering tip or eductor has
scale build-up
c. Low water pressure
d. Discharge tube and/or flooding
ring not in place
e. Concentrate container empty
f. Inlet hose barb not screwed
into eductor tightly
g. Clogged water inlet strainer
h. Air leak in chemical pick-up tube
3. Excess concentrate draw a. Metering tip not in place
b. Chemical above eductor
4. Failure of unit to turn off a. Water valve parts dirty or
defective
b. Magnet doesn't fully return
c. Push button stuck
5. Excess foaming in discharge a. Air leak in pick-up tube
* In hard water areas, scale may form inside the discharge end of the eductor, as well as in other areas of the unit that
are exposed to water. This scale may be removed by soaking the eductor in a descaling solution (deliming solution).
To remove an eductor located in the cabinet, firmly grasp water valve and unthread eductor. Replace in same manner.
Alternatively, a scaled eductor can be cleaned (or kept from scaling) by drawing the descaling solution through the unit.
Operate the unit with the suction tube in the descaling solution. Operate the unit until solution is drawn consistently, then
flush the unit by drawing clear water through it for a minute. Replace concentrate container and put suction tube into
concentrate.

Mop Water Dispenser
Benefits of BioMop include general floor cleaning plus removal of organic material (grease, fats and oils) from floors,
hard-to-access corners, cracks and crevices, and from drain lines and drain areas. BioMop also improves drain flow
rates, reduces drain odors, and removes small-fly breeding and harborage sites. (See BioMop label for more
information.)
1. Remove cabinet cover. Drill holes for the top two wall anchors with a 5/16" drill bit, using the cabinet back as a
template for proper spacing of these mounting screws. Install mounting anchors, and partially insert screws in
top two anchors. Slide key holes in cabinet back over the two screw heads, and mark spot for bottom wall anchor.
Remove cabinet drill hole for bottom wall anchor. Install wall anchor into bottom hole. Replace cabinet over top
two screw heads and insert screw into bottom wall anchor. Tighten screws. Do not mount more than 6 feet (1.8
meters) above the bottom of the concentrate container, nor below the highest concentrate level (never mount
your concentrate higher than the proportioner).
2. The brown metering tip (64:1 dilution) has been pre-installed on the dispenser (see diagram). This
metering tip should provided a mixture of 2 oz. of BioMop per gallon of water. (Note: If your water pressure is
lower or higher than 40 PSI, the metering tip mentioned above may not dispense the proper amount of BioMop
and must be changed. Using the Metering Tip Selection procedure discussed on the next page, select
install the metering tip that yields 2 oz. of BioMop per gallon of water.)
3. Cut supply tubing to reach from hose barb on eductor to bottom of the concentrate container. Slide a ceramic
weight over one end of tube and slide a foot valve into the same end of the tube.
4. Slip other end of supply tube through an opening in either side of the cabinet and push over the hose
barb/metering tip on the eductor.
5. Place foot valve ends of supply tubes into concentrate containers. REMEMBER TO CHECK FOOT VALVE
STRAINERS PERIODICALLY FOR CLOGGING: CLEAN IF NECESSARY.
6. Slide end of discharge tube with flooding ring over eductor discharge outlet. Do not remove the flooding rings
from inside the tubes. Hooks may be installed on longer tubes to allow discharge tube to conveniently hang from
dispenser when not in use.
7. Replace cabinet cover. Push the sides in, behind the latch holes, to snap the cover in place. The two screws
provided should be installed in the holes in the cabinet sides to prevent easy removal of cover.
8. Connect water supply hose of at least ½"ID to water inlet swivel. (Minimum 25 PSI pressure, with water running,
is required for proper operation.) Connect opposite end of hose to water supply. Turn water supply on.
9. Push button to start flow of desired water/concentrate solution, and hold until supply tube is primed (filled). Then
push the button whenever dispensing is desired, and release button to stop flow of solution. If you wish to be
able to lock the button in the "on" position: clip or bend the two tabs behind the lower front portion of the
button (see diagram). This allows the button to be fully depressed and allows it to latch in the "on" position. To
unlock, pull the button out.

Instructions for Use

1) Fill mop bucket with mixed solution in the normal manner.
2) Mop floor in normal manner insuring to mop in all corners, cracks, crevices and under equipment.
3) After mopping is completed, pour remaining mop water into each drain in equal portions.
4) If problem areas exist that cannot be reached during mopping, pour undiluted BioMop into a
spray bottle and spray problem areas until wet.
