GROWONIX BP-1000 Booster Pump Owner’s Manual

GROWONIX BP-1000 Booster Pump

Product Information: BP-1000 Booster Pump
The BP-1000 Booster Pump is a product manufactured by GrowoniX that is designed to increase pure water production for all 600-1000 GPD RO systems. The pump is built in the USA and is designed with durability, reliability, efficiency, purity, and conservation in mind. It is specifically tuned for growing and is in tune with customers’ needs. The pump increases the input pressure to 80psi and can siphon from a rain barrel or tank to produce full pump pressure. It requires zero psi of incoming water pressure to
produce the full flow rate. The pump also features a high-pressure cutoff that automatically shuts the pump off when used with a solenoid valve, ball valve, float valve, or watering wand.
The BP-1000 Booster Pump uses reverse osmosis (RO) filtration method to remove 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.

Product Usage Instructions
Before installing the BP-1000 Booster Pump, it is advised to read the entire manual thoroughly. If uncertain, consult an electrician. Electrical wiring should only be done by a qualified electrician per local and state electrical codes. The GrowoniX water filters use quick connect fittings that allow for easy maintenance.

Mounting

To mount the BP-1000 Booster Pump, follow the below steps:

1. 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.

2. O-Ring Collet Tubing – Insert the tube into the 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.

3. Test and Inspect – Push and pull the tubing toward and away from the fitting to ensure that it has been installed correctly.
   Test and inspect the installation for any leaks.

4. 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.

5. Push Collet In – Push the collet in

6. Pull Tube Out – Pull the tube out

Plumbing and Electrical

Any restrictions or blockage in the drain line of the RO system can cause back pressure, which will increase the system’s operating pressure. This can result in damage to the system’s membranes and components and a potentially dangerous over-pressurization condition. Therefore, it is recommended to use flexible tubing with
proper pressure rating when plumbing.

In conclusion, the BP-1000 Booster Pump is an essential product for hydroponics hobbyists, serious enthusiasts, or large-scale gardeners who require a reliable and efficient water purification system.

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.

• Increases pure water production for all 600-1000 GPD RO systems.
• Raises the input pressure to 80psi.
• Can siphon from a rain barrel or tank and produce the full pump pressure.
• Needs zero psi of incoming water pressure to produce the full flow rate.

BASIC INFORMATION

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

ABOUT

• The BP-1000 Booster Pump is designed for use with all GrowoniX water filters 600-1000 GPD.
• The pump is designed to boost low water pressure to optimal pressure.
• Do not exceed 80 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 80 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 any position. If “ceiling mounted”, however, with the pumphead upside down, air entrapment may reduce the operational performance by up to 15%.

PLUMBING

• The input is 3/8” & 1/2” OD” quick connect tubing.
• The output is 3/8” & 1/2” OD quick connect tubing.

CAUTION
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. We recommend use of flexible 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 filter (150 micron or 100 mesh) be installed at the inlet side to keep foreign debris out of the system.
Avoid any sharp bends which may crimp tubing and restrict flow. Use 90º elbow fittings if necessary.
Carbon filters should be flushed prior to connectivity to prevent carbon particles from entering the pump chambers, and possibly causing clogging.

ELECTRICAL
The motor is available in 110 and 50/60 hertz 1 phase 3A. Please ensure that the electrical circuit supplying the system is compatible with the requirements of the BP-1000 pump. Each BP-1000 pump is equipped with an 5” electrical cord.
