Congratulations on purchasing the A4 FLEXFLO variable speed Peristaltic

Metering Pump.

Your FLEXFLO A4 pump is pre-configured for the tubing that shipped with your

metering pump. The tubing assembly has an Identification number printed for

easy re-order.

Please Note: Your new pump has been pressure tested at the factory with

clean water before shipping. You may notice trace amounts of clean water in the

pre-installed tube assembly. This is part of our stringent quality assurance pro-

gram at Blue-White Industries.

FLEXFLO A4 5.0 Installation

5.1 Mounting Location

1. Choose an area located near the chemical supply tank, chemical injection point, and electrical supply. Also,

choose an area where the pump can be easily serviced.

2. Finding a secure surface and using the provided mounting hardware, mount the pump close to the injection

point. Keep the inlet (suction) and outlet (discharge) tubing as short as possible. Longer discharge tubing

increases back pressure at pump head.

NOTE: Mounting the pump lower than the chemical container will gravity-feed chemical into it. This “flooded

suction” installation will reduce output error due to increased suction lift. A shut-off valve, pinch-clamp, or

other means to halt gravity-feed to the pump must be installed during servicing.

NOTE: Install a back flow prevention check valve at the discharge side of the pump to prevent the system fluid

from flowing back through pump during tube replacement or during tube rupture.

NOTE: It is recommended to have a pressure relief valve at the discharge side of the of pump to prevent

premature wear and damage to the pump tube, in the event that the discharge line becomes blocked.

NOTE: The does not require back pressure. Keep the discharge pressure as low as possible to maximize pump

the tube life.

All diagrams are strictly for guideline purposes only. Always consult an expert before installing

metering pump on specialized systems. Metering pump should be serviced by qualified persons

only.

Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on or near

your metering pump. Additional precautions should be taken depending on solution being

pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution supplier.

Risk of chemical overdose. Be certain pump does not overdose chemical during backwash and

periods of no flow in circulation system.

Be sure that installation does not constitute a cross connection with drinking water supply.

Check your local plumbing codes.

The pump should be serviced by qualified persons only. If equipment is used in a manner not

specified in this manual, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

The pump should be supplied by an isolating transformer or RCD (operating current less or

equal 30 mA).

nProvides a stable mounting surface.

Stainless Steel extended brackets allow the pump to be securely mounted to

most any surface; floor, shelf, or skid. Brackets lift the pump up 4-1/2 inches
