INTRODUCTION

OUR MISSION
Durability, Reliability, Efficiency, 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 purification systems.
WHAT IS REVERSE OSMOSIS?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a filtration 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 filtering 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 purified water. GrowoniX line  of water filters achieve waste ratios of 2:1 with all 200-400 GPD systems, and an astounding 1:1 ratio with the 600-1000
GPD systems.
GrowoniX has created a complete product line that will address the needs of hydroponic operations of all sizes. Our filters will significantly reduce your water use while dramatically increasing your yields.

THE TRADITIONAL WAY
Takes 4 gallons of waste water to produce 1 gallon of pure water

WHY USE A GROWONIX BP-6010 PUMP?
Membranes love pressure! In general, more pressure allows for better membrane rejection, longer life, and increased flow rate. Growing BP-6010 Series Booster Pumps allow for the full potential performance of an RO system to be achieved—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 Growing water filter.

BASIC INFORMATION

READ ENTIRE MANUAL THOROUGHLY
BEFORE INSTALLING THIS HIGH PRESSURE-BOOSTING PUMP.
ABOUT

• The BP-6010 series of Booster Pumps are designed for use with all GrowoniX EX1000 & GX1000water filters.
• The pump is designed to boost low water pressure conditions to optimal pressure.
• Do not exceed 150 psi output pressure.

CAUTIONS

• The pump is equipped with an adjustable bypass valve which controls the maximum operating pressure. In addition, never subject the pump to pressures above 150 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 qualified Electrician per Local and State Electrical Codes.

MOUNTING

• 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 the vertical or horizontal position.

GROWONIX WATER FILTERS USE QUICK CONNECT FITTINGS THAT ALLOW FOR EASY MAINTENANCE.

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 fitting.
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.
TEST AND INSPECT
Push and pull the tubing toward and away from the fitting to ensure that it has been installed properly.
Test and inspect the installation for any leaks.
TUBE REMOVAL
Relieve pressure from the tubing and fitting. Push uniformly around the collet flange against the fitting body while pulling the tubing away from the fitting to release it.

PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL

PLUMBING

• The input to the BP-6010 pump is 1/2 OD” tubing size.
• The output is 3/8” OD tubing. the ESOK is 3/4” or 1”.

CAUTIONS

• Do not use garden hose fittings or attachements when using a BP-6010 series pump, especially when using an ESOK (electric shutoff kit). It is only recomended to  plumb he RO system with appropriate SCH40/80 PVC, copper, or CTS pipe suitable to pass local plumbing inspections in your area.
• Any restrictions or blockage in the drain line of the ro system can cause back pressure, which will increase the systems operating pressure. this can result in damage to the system’s membranes and components and a potentially DANGEROUS OVERPRESSURIZATION CONDITION.

ELECTRICAL

• The motor is a carbonator motor. It is available in 110/220 and 50/60 hertz 1 phase 5.6A. Please ensure that the electrical circuit supplying the system is compatible with the requirements of the BP-6010 pump. Each BP-6010 pump is equipped with an 8” electrical cord.

NOTE
WE RECOMMEND THAT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN WIRE YOUR SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODES  (NEC).
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, THE INCOMING POWER SUPPLY MUST INCLUDE A PROTECTIVE EARTH GROUND.

BP-6010 INFORMATION

THE PUMP MUST NEVER BE RUN DRY. OPERATING THE PUMP WITHOUT SUFFICIENT FEED 1 WATER WILL DAMAGE THE PUMP.
ALWAYS FEED THE PUMP FILTERED WATER. THE PUMP IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE FROM SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS.
IF ANY DAMAGE OCCURS TO YOUR SYSYTEM’S PUMP, A RE-BUILD KIT MAY BE AVAILABLE. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALER OR DISTRIBUTOR AND INFORM THEM OF YOUR SYSTEM’S MODEL AND PUMP SIZE.

• The pump is a low-lead brass rotary vane pump.
• This pump is also available in stainless steel.
• Follow these guidelines to ensure proper operation of the pump:

PRESSURE SWITCH HAS ONLY TWO ADJUSTMENT TERMINALS

WATER PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH
The low pressure switch shuts off the system when the feed water pressure drops too low for the system to function properly. This prevents damage to the pump. The system restarts automatically when the pressure is restored. If you notice the pressure fluctuating, and the system cycling off and on repeatedly, turn the system off and ensure that proper feed flow and pressure are available to the system.

WATER PUMP PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
The water pump pressure switch is adjusted at the factory to cut out when incoming pressure falls below 10 psi, and cut in when incoming pressure reaches 25 psi.

PRESSURE SWITCH SHOULD NOT NEED ADJUSTMENT.
If for some reason pressure switch should fall out of adjustment, follow the diagram above. Factory settings are:
Terminal 1 adjusted fully counterclockwise.
Terminal 2 adjusted fully counterclockwise.

PUMP OUTPUT PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

The bypass valve, located on the input side of the pump can be used to regulate pump output pressure. It is adjustable with a flat head screwdriver.
WHILE REFERENCING THE PUMP PRESSURE GAUGE:

1. Turn the screw clockwise to INCREASE system pressure.
2. Turn the screw counterclockwise to DECREASE system pressure.

MINIMUM SYSTEM PRESSURE IS 40PSI.
MAXIMUM SYSTEM PRESSURE IS 150 PSI.

• Running the system at higher pressure will result in failure of fittings, overheating of the pump motor, and possible injury.
• As membranes foul, system pressure increases. Make sure you leave some headroom so that a pressure increase due to fouling DOES NOT EXCEED 150 PSI.

(ESOK) WIRING DIAGRAM

ESOK ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1. Attach the float ball piggyback cord to the male plug end from the pump control box.(2) The float switch will now govern whether current will flow to the pump control box or not.
2. Plug the solenoid valve into the female plug end extending from the pump control box (3).
   • Float ball facing “UP” = current does not flow (pump off).
   • Float ball facing “DOWN” = current flows (pump on).
   • When pump control switch is “ON” and float ball is facing “DOWN” = current will flow to the solenoid valve and the valve will open.
   • When pump control switch is “OFF” or the float ball is facing “UP” = no current will flow to the solenoid valve, and the pump will not run.
