Flow Max™12V DC
Fluid Pump by Duraself
Installation and Owner’s Manual
(For Aftermarket Application)
IF THE WIRE IS TOO SMALL, LOW VOLTAGE WILL
AFFECT THE PUMP PERFORMANCE AND CAN CREATE
A FIRE HAZARD.
Electrical Connections
NOTE: The pump should be on a dedicated circuit protected
by the specied fuse as indicated on the motor label.
The chart lists the minimum wire size for a 10% voltage
drop on a 12V DC 10 amp circuit. Length is the distance
in feet from the power source to the pump and back to
ground.
Sanitizing
Potable water systems require maintenance to keep
components working properly to deliver a consistent ow of
fresh water. Sanitizing is recommended prior to storing. After
a period of time in storage or any time the system is opened
or contaminated, sanitizing the system is recommended.
Systems with new components or ones that have been
subjected to contamination should also be disinfected.
1. Determine the amount of common household bleach
needed to sanitize the tank.
A. Multiply the gallons of tank capacity by 0.13. The
result is the number of ounces of bleach needed to
sanitize the tank.
2. Mix the bleach with water in a container.
3. Pour the bleach solution into the tank and ll the tank
with potable water.
4. Open all faucets (hot and cold) and allow water to run
until the odor of chlorine is detected. Then shut off the
faucets.
5. Allow 4 hours contact time to disinfect the tank.
6. At the conclusion of the prescribed contact time, drain
the tank.
7. Rell the tank with clean, potable water and ush the
system once or twice until the chlorine odor has decreased.
The residual chlorine odor and taste is not harmful.
1. Determine the proper wire size for good pump operation.
2. Install a 15 amp (ignition protected) switch on the
positive lead (red wire) (Fig.1). The switch should be
mounted in an easily accessible location.
NOTE: For marine use, a 15 amp marine duty (ignition
protected) switch is required.
3. Connect the positive lead (red wire) to the switch.
4. A second positive lead wire of the same size should be
connected to the battery from the switch.
NOTE: A 10 amp fuse is required as per applicable codes.
5. Connect the negative ground wire (black) to the negative
(black) terminal of the battery.
NOTE: The ground, positive and switch wires must all be
of the same gauge.
NOTE: Shut off power to the pump when leaving the unit
unattended.
