The pump has a maximum flow rate of 1.8 gallons per minute (GPM).
It is specifically approved for use with Roundup agricultural herbicide. While it has corrosion-resistant materials, compatibility with other liquids should be verified before use to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
This pump operates on a 12-volt DC power supply.
Priming is typically necessary if the pump has run dry or after initial installation. You can prime it by filling the inlet line with fluid before starting the pump.
Automatic demand means the pump has a built-in pressure switch that turns it on when fluid is needed (e.g., a valve is opened) and turns it off when the demand stops or pressure is reached.
Yes, this pump is designed to be mounted in any position, offering flexibility during installation.
The pump has a maximum pressure rating of 60 PSI.
Check the 12V power supply connection and ensure correct polarity. Verify the pressure switch is functioning. Ensure the pump is not physically jammed.
Check for air leaks in the inlet line. Ensure the intake filter is clean. Inspect the diaphragm and valves for wear or damage. Verify that the outlet is not obstructed.
Check for leaks in the outlet system. Ensure the pressure switch is set correctly. A partially blocked outlet can cause rapid cycling.
Inspect the pump housing and fittings for cracks or damage. Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If internal corrosion is suspected, contact customer support.
Setup: Mount the pump in the desired position, ensuring secure fastening. Connect the 12V power source, observing correct polarity. Connect inlet and outlet hoses using appropriate fittings, ensuring a watertight seal. Prime the pump if necessary by filling the inlet line with fluid.
Compatibility: This pump is approved for use with Roundup agricultural herbicide. Verify compatibility with other chemicals before use. It operates on standard 12V DC power systems.
Care: Regularly inspect hoses and fittings for leaks. Keep the pump's exterior clean. Ensure the intake is free of debris to prevent clogging. Periodic checks of the diaphragm and valves may be necessary for long-term maintenance, though they are designed for durability.
