WHY USE A
GROWONIX BP1530 ?
Membranes love pressure! In general, more
pressure allows for better emembrane rejection,
longer membrane life, and increased membrane
ow rate. GrowoniX BP-6010 Series Booster
Pumps allow for the full potential performance
of the RO membrane to be acheived—with
only 35 PSI of incoming water pressure. The
perfect solution for those with low feed water
pressures, and those who want to receive the
maximum performance from their GrowoniX
water lter.
BP-1530 SYSTEMS FEATURES
Continuous duty cycle
Adjustable output pressure
Controllable manually or with ESOK
(electric shuto kit)
Patented electrogalvanized bracket on

OUR MISSION
Durability, Reliability, Eciency, Purity, and Conservation form the foundation on which we design
and build all of our products. Consistent and superior quality sets us apart from other manufacturers
and increases our value to you - our customer. Whether you are a hydroponics hobbyist, serious
enthusiast, or large-scale gardener, GrowoniX is committed to bringing you the best solution for
water purication systems.
WHAT IS REVERSE OSMOSIS?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a ltration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions
from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane.
This ltering process ensures that the solute (waste water) is contained within the pressurized
chamber while the pure solvent (RO water) is allowed to pass freely through the membrane.
TUNED FOR GROWING - IN TUNE WITH OUR CUSTOMERS
Traditional RO systems have waste ratios of approximately 4:1, which means there are 4 gallons
of waste water produced for every 1 gallon of puried water. GrowoniX line of water lters achieve
waste ratios of 2:1 with the EX100 through GX400 and an astounding 1:1 ratio with the GX600 and
GX1000.
GrowoniX has created a complete product line that will address the needs of hydroponic operations
of all sizes. Our lters will signicantly reduce your water use while dramatically increasing your yields.

INFORMATION ON QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS
INSERT TUBE INTO FITTING
Push the tubing through the collet and dual o-rings until it bottoms out against the tube stop.
The collet holds the tube in place and the dual o-rings provide a leak resistant seal.
MAKE A CLEAN TUBE CUT
Cut the tube squarely and if using plastic tubing, ensure that the cut has not made the tube out of round.
Also ensure that the tube has a smooth outside diameter without any burrs or score marks
prior to inserting it into the tting.
TEST AND INSPECT
Push and pull the tubing toward and away from the tting to ensure that it has been installed properly.
Test and inspect the installation for any leaks.
TUBE REMOVAL
Relieve pressure from the tubing and tting. Push uniformly around the collet ange against the
tting body while pulling the tubing away from the tting to release it.

• The GX150/300 Booster Pump is designed for use with all GrowoniX water lters 600 GPD and under.
• The pump is designed to boost low water pressure conditions to optimal pressure.
We recommend not exceeding 79 psi output pressure.

PLEASE READ THESE OPERATIONAL AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
BEFORE INSTALLING THE “CDP” BOOSTER PUMP.
IF ADDITIONAL HELP IS NEEDED, PLEASE CONSULT THE FACTORY.
• The pump is equipped with an adjustable bypass valve which controls the maximum operating
pressure. In addition, never subject the pump to pressures above 79 PSI.
• Never operate the pump in a harsh environment or hazardous atmosphere,
since motor brush and switch may cause electrical arcing.
• Pumphead materials are designed for use with water only. Do not use with petroleum products.
• Always consider electrical shock hazard when working with and handling electrical equipment.
If uncertain, consult an Electrician. Electrical wiring should only be done by a qualied Electrician
per Local and State Electrical Codes.
• The pump should be mounted in a dry place and away from any source of heat. If an enclosure is
used, special provisions for cooling the motor may be necessary. Consult the Factory.
• Do not subject the pump to extreme high or low (freezing) temperatures while in operation.
(Operating ambient temperature range is 32ºF to 115ºF).
• The pump may be mounted in any position. If “ceiling mounted”, however, with the pumphead
upside down, air entrapment may reduce the operational performance by up to 15% .
Consult Aquatec for ceiling mount solutions.
• We recommend use of exible tubing with proper pressure rating.
• Pump will prime only if all pressure is relieved from the outlet port.
• It is recommended that an in-line sediment lter (150 micron or 100 mesh) be installed at the inlet
side to keep foreign debris out of the system.
Please consult your GrowoniX catalog for an in-line lter.
• Avoid any sharp bends which may crimp tubing and restrict ow. Use 90º elbow ttings if necessary.
• The pump should always be mounted prior to the carbon pre-lter to prevent carbon particles
from entering the pump chambers and possibly causing clogging.
