4.0 Unpacking

Your pump package should contain the following:
1 - Metering Pump
1 - 8 foot / 2.4 meter suction tube, clear PVC
1 - foot valve & strainer assembly
1 - Injection fitting with internal back-flow check valve
1 - Mounting hardware kit (two mounting brackets, 4 screws)
1 - 5 Foot / 1.5 meter Priming Tubing

5.0 Installation

CAUTION: 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 the solution
being pumped. Refer to MSDS precautions from your solution
supplier.

5.1 Mounting Location

Choose an area located near the chemical supply tank, chemical injection point,
and electrical supply. Install the pump where it can be easily serviced.

!

Mount the pump to a secure surface using the enclosed 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 the
back pressure at the pump head.

!

Your solution tank should be sturdy. Keep the tank covered to reduce fumes. Do
not mount the pump directly over your tank. Chemical fumes may damage the
unit. Mount the pump off to the side or at a lower level than the chemical
container.

!

Be sure your installation does not constitute a cross connection with the drinking
water supply. Check your local plumbing codes.

Extended Brackets

Model Number 72000-380

Blue-White’s Stainless Steel extended brackets allow the pump to be securely mounted to most
any surface; floor, shelf, or skid. The brackets lift the pump up 4-1/2 inches (11.43 cm), allowing you
to easily connect the suction side of the pump to your solution.

n Raise metering pump 4-1/2 inches (11.43 cm)

off the ground or a surface.

n Made out of tough Stainless Steel.

5.2 How To Install the Tubing and Fittings

CAUTION: Proper eye and skin protection must be worn when

installing and servicing the pump and fittings.

! Suction (Inlet) Tubing

Locate the inlet fitting of the pump head. Push the clear suction tubing onto the
fitting barb.

! Footvalve / Strainer

Trim the inlet end of the suction tubing so
that the strainer will rest approximately two
inches from the bottom of the solution tank.
This will prevent sediment from clogging the
strainer. Press the strainer’s barbed fitting
into the end of the tube. Drop the footvalve /
strainer into the solution tank.

! Injection / Check Valve Fitting Installation

The Injection / Check valve fitting is designed
to install directly into 1/2” female pipe
threads. This fitting will require periodic
cleaning, especially when injecting fluids that
calcify such as sodium hypochlorite.
Install the Injection / Check valve directly into
the piping system. To prevent trapped

gasses, install the fitting in an upward
direction. Use Teflon thread sealing tape on

the pipe threads.

At high pressures, Blue-White recommends
using a threaded connection.

Injection / Check Valve is available with 1/2”
Male NPT or 1/2” Hose Barb. This is based
on the outlet connection selected for the C3
pump.

Keep discharge (outlet) tube as short as
possible.

5.3 DFD (Diaphragm Failure Detection)

The C3 includes DFD sensors built directly into the pump. Although it doesn’t happen
often, diaphragm failure can occur. The DFD sensors will detect the chemical behind
the diaphragm caused by diaphragm failure. The pump will then shut down and
energize an internal 3 amp relay. You can wire the 3 amp relay to an alarm, SCADA
system, backup pump, or nothing at all.

5.4 FVS - Flow Verification System

- (sensor sold separately)

The C3 is equipped with a Flow Verification System which is designed to stop
the pump and provide a contact closure output in the event the sensor does not
detect flow during pump operation. This could indicate a clogged injection fitting,
empty chemical solution tank, loose tubing connection, etc.
To allow the pump to clear any gasses that may have accumulated during
stopper operation (such as with chlorine), an alarm delay time value from 1-255
seconds must be programmed (An alarm delay value of 000 seconds disables
the FVS system).

Install the FVS Flow Sensor - The Flow Verification Sensor (FVS) should be
installed on the outlet (discharge) side of the pump head valve.
Connect the red/white, black, and white wires from the sensor to the red, black,
and yellow wires located in the pump’s junction box.

Contact Closure Alarm Output - A contact closure output (relay) is provided
with the FVS system. The relay can be configured for normally open (factory
default) or normally closed operation by properly positioning the connector plug
on the circuit board .
