Overflow Boxes
Introduction
Our overflow boxes allow adding sump to your system without drilling, and only in a few steps.
Before installing make sure your overflow box and return pump have similar flow rate:
DP1500 – 1500lph
DP3000 – 3000lph ( according outlet configuration )
DP5000 – 5000lph (according outlet configuration )
DP10K – 10000lph
DP15K – 15000lph
Basics
Overflow Box can be installed at any place around the tank rim, depending on your requirement,
make sure the inlet will be placed as far as possible from the overflow box – this will make the
water flow in the tank optimal.
Our overflow boxes will start automatically after power cuts and do not require any other devices to
work well.
Your overflow box has been configured to your requirement during the order process, so after
installation tank water level will be same as ordered.
Installation
- Put overflow box in selected place,
- Connect outlet/outlets pipes and guide them to the sump, same with return pump pipe – guide
them to tank, before installation place pipe end to hot/boiling water – this will make installation
process fast and easy, if for some reasons you need to remove the pipe – do not pull – cut it,
- Fill both chambers ( in tank chamber and outside chamber ) with water,
- Remove air from siphon area ( use red air valve – just suck off air ),
At this point make a short break – both chambers and siphon area are filled with water – this is ideal
moment to take the tightness test. Observe siphon area for increasing air volume and overflow box
outside chamber for water leakage – if you find something alarming – stop using the equipment -
contact us as soon as possible,
- Switch on return pump – overflow box will start to transfer water to sump,
- For testing purposes switch off/on return pump a couple times to be sure overflow box will start
automatically,
- All done.
