INTRODUCTION
The BT4 horizontal booster pump is a low to medium
capacity, high pressure, multi-stage unit. Although the
BT4 horizontal booster pump will typically be used as
a part of a larger water system, it is also capable of
acting as a water system's primary pump. (The BT4
should not be used to lift water more than 10 ft) The
BT4 can function as a multi-purpose high pressure
pump, boosting water pressure from either city mains
or private water systems. It is also ideal for applications
that require more pressure than flow, such as industrial
cleaning equipment, car and truck washing, pressure
washing of commercial and residential buildings, fire
suppression systems, general water use in multi-family
structures, spray cooling in poultry and livestock houses,
and lawn and crop irrigation. Siphon injectors may also
be added to the system to inject chemicals externally to
the pump's discharge, further expanding the scope of
applications for the BT4.

INSPECT YOUR SHIPMENT

All horizontal booster pumps are carefully tested,
inspected, and packaged to ensure their arrival in
working condition. When the pump is received, examine
it closely to make sure parts have not been damaged
or broken as a result of shipping. If damage is evident,
report this immediately to your shipping carrier and
dealer. The shipping carrier assumes full responsibility
for the shipment's safe arrival. Any claim for damage to
the shipment, either visible or concealed, must be made
through the shipping carrier first.
INSTALLATION
(Appendix 3 – Installation Records)
LOCATION OF THE PUMP
Decide on a location for the pump installation that is
suitable based on the enclosure rating of the pump's
electric motor.
NOTICE: 1/3 – 2 hp BT4 booster pump/motor
assemblies are CSA Certified for use for in USA and
Canada and will be marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR
OUTDOOR OR INDOOR USE." 3 hp booster pump/
motor assemblies are CSA certified for use in the USA
and Canada and will be marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR
INDOOR USE ONLY".
Adhere to the guidelines of national, state, and local
plumbing codes when installing this product. Check with
the appropriate agencies or water system professional
for additional information.
INDOOR PUMP INSTALLATION OPTION
Choose a clean, well-ventilated, weatherproof location
that provides protection from freezing, flooding, and
excessive heat. In addition, it should provide access for
servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump,
tank, and service pipes. A prepared foundation is not
essential, provided the surface is hard and level. It can
be mounted either horizontally (Figure 1 and Figure 2) or
vertically (Figure 3) depending on the space available.
