Vactronic® Auto Vacuum Priming System

allow the water to enter the priming tank and the pump will
then be primed. Once the water in the priming tank contacts the Multiflo® MF pump benefits to the
upper probe, the drive to the vacuum pump will disengage. If customer
at any time the level in the priming tank drops below the upper
probe, the drive will re-engage and allow the water to re-enter • Reliability
back to the probe level. With this system, the vacuum pump life is • On-site service and support
prolonged as it is only operating when required. • Built to last
Waterloss shutdown • Tailored to the application

system. If there is no more water to be pumped, the level in the
priming tank will fall below the lower probe and activate a six Customer Options
