Pentair® Shurflo® has applied its expertise and years of experience in pump technology to provide a safe and reliable
diaphragm pump. Every Pentair Shurflo pump is 100% tested for proper flow, pressure, and performance before it leaves
the factory. Although this tested design will provide years of trouble-free and economical operation, you should use care in
installing your system.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION
The Pentair Shurflo water boost modular filtration system is designed to integrate both the water boost and water filtration
systems into one easy to install component, thus guaranteeing proper placement of the water boost system in relation to
the filtration system. The system consists of a Pentair Shurflo 8000 diaphragm pump and accumulator tank which function
together to boost the water pressure to the filtration system. The boosted water pressure not only assures an adequate water
supply to the fountain system but maximizes utilization of the filter elements throughout their service life.
The pump, accumulator tank and filtration system are NSF listed.
The system comes mounted on a steel panel which design includes Pentair Shurflo patented slide track design requiring
minimal steps for installation and startup.

PERFORMANCE DATA
Important Notice: Read this performance data and compare the capabilities of this system with your actual water treatment
needs. It is recommended that, before installing a water treatment system, you have your water supply tested to determine
your actual water treatment needs.
This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration
of the indicated substances in the water entering the system was reduced to the concentrations less than or equal to the
permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42.
