WARNING : The Torrium2® controller, pump and associated pipework
operate under pressure. Under no circumstances should the Torrium2®
controller, pump or associated pipework be disassembled unless the
internal pressure of the unit has been relieved. Failure to observe this
warning will expose persons to the possibility of personal injury and may
also result in damage to the pump, pipework or other property.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and comply with all applicable
codes may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

Please pass these instructions on to the operator of this equipment.

Prior to using this pump you must ensure that:
•	 The pump is installed in a safe and dry environment
•	 The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in the event of leakage
•	 Any transport plugs are removed
•	 The pipe-work is correctly sealed and supported
•	 The pump is primed correctly
•	 The power supply is correctly connected
•	 All steps have been taken for safe operation
Appropriate details for all of these items are contained in the following Installation
and Operating Instructions. Read these in their entirety before switching on this
pump. If you are uncertain as to any of these Installation and Operating Instructions
please contact your Davey dealer or the appropriate Davey office as listed on the
back of this document.
Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality, Davey pressure system. All
components have been designed and manufactured to give trouble free, reliable
operation.
Your new pressure system incorporates ‘Torrium2®’, electronic flow controller – a
Davey designed unit that enables the use of a highly efficient pump design and
offers the following benefits:–
1.	 Enables the pump to deliver a constant flow of water particularly at low flow
rates – reducing the inconvenience of pressure variation in showers etc.
2.	 Provides automatic “cut-out” protection should the pump run out of water or
overheat*, should the pump fail to start due to low voltage or a blockage in the pump.
3.	 Provides an easy to understand visual representation of the system status.
4.	 Has adaptive pressure cut-in which allows the pump to start at approximately
80% of the maximum pressure at last shut-down. This allows the controller to
accommodate varying inlet pressures and pump performance.
5.	 Automatic retry functions in the event of a critical system fault.
6.	 Pressure indicator so you can easily tell what the pressure in your water supply
system is doing.
7.	 Easy visual guide to the status of the inbuilt surge arrestor.
8.	 Choice of both vertical and horizontal outlets.
* Motor overload / overheat protection included. Motor has its own overload /
overheat protection.

NOTES

Before installing your new pump, please read all instructions carefully as failures
caused by incorrect installation or operation are not covered by the guarantee. Your
Davey pressure system is designed to handle clean water. The system should not be
used for any other purpose without specific referral to Davey. The use of the system to
pump flammable, corrosive and other materials of a hazardous nature is specifically
excluded.
NOTE: Prior to installation remove the red transport plugs from the suction and/or discharge.

NOTE:
a)	 For protection, the Davey® pump motor is fitted with an automatic “over
temperature” cut-out. Constant tripping of this overload device indicates a
problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive ambient temperature (above 115°F)
in pump enclosure.
b)	 The Torrium2® control device may have to be reset after rectifying any of the
above operating troubles. This is done by pushing in the “prime” button and
releasing it after 2 seconds, or switching the power supply off then on.

Motor normally operates at high temperature and may be too hot to touch.
Before handling pump or motor, stop motor and allow it to cool.

NOTE: To protect the pump, the Torrium fitted to your pump has a secondary over
temperature function built-in. This function automatically stops the pump should the
water in the pump reach 160oF. The pump will automatically restart once the water
temperature drops below 140oF.
WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power 	
is switched
off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections should be serviced only by qualified
persons. If the electrical supply lead of this pressure system is damaged, it must be
replaced.
Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid possible
injury from pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap on
the discharge side of the pump and allow any hot water in the pump to cool before
attempting to dismantle.

During servicing, use only approved, non-petrochemical based oring and
gasket lubrication. If unsure, consult your Davey Dealer for advice.

WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon propelled
sprays around the electrical components of this pump.

This pump is not to be used by children or infirm persons and must not be
used as a toy by children.

Fitting the Torrium2® directly to the Pump
The Torrium2® is fitted with a rotary coupling. This
coupling allows the pump controller to be fitted
simply and easily to the pump discharge.
The coupling has an oring seal. The controller
adaptor nut is able to rotate independent of the
Torrium2® and the complete pump, this allows it
to be tightened onto the pump easily. For ease
of installation a tightening tool is included with
Torrium2® to tighten the controller nut to ensure a
firm connection to your controller.
The ability to rotate the adaptor nut also means that the complete controller, once
fitted to the pump, can be rotated a full 360o in the horizontal plane, without causing
the coupling to unscrew from the pump outlet.

Pressure Indicator Window

Torrium has an easy to read pressure indicator window on the side of the inbuilt
pressure vessel – see Figure 1 on page 3.
If the pressure is low the window will show mainly red. If the pressure is at
maximum (i.e. 65psi for TT45 and 100psi for TT70 models) the window will show
mainly green.
The window can also help analyse the occurrence of unwanted leaks. If the colour
band in the window is moving towards red, this shows that pressure is decreasing.
If the colour band in the window is moving towards green, this shows that pressure
is increasing.

Warning: Automatic reset thermal overloads may allow the pump to restart
without warning. Always disconnect the pump motor from the electrical
supply before maintenance or repairs.

WARNING: When servicing or attending pump and/or controllers, always
ensure power is switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections
should be serviced only by qualified persons.

Discharge Connections

The Torrrium2 offers the option of using one or both outlet options.
Use of the horizontal outlet only allows for either:
1.	 Easy access to prime the pump and / or the removal of the inbuilt Torrium check
valve
2.	 Fitment of a pressure tank (up to 5 pallon capacity) onto the priming port /
vertical discharge port
If you use the vertical outlet instead or as well, you need to consider access to the
inbuilt check valve in the Torrium. Davey suggest you use the enclosed flexible
connection to allow for ease of access to the check valve.

NOTE: The Torrium2® controller fitted to this pump is adaptive. If your pump draws
air or is subject to blockage, the Torrium2 adapts to its new maximum pressure. This
may result in your system pressure not dropping below the new cut-in pressure and
your pump not starting. Should this occur, re-prime your pump units as detailed
above. Should this not prove successful, it is likely you have a blockage in the
pump. You should contact your Davey dealer for assistance.

NOTE: The Torrium2® controller is adaptive. If your pump draws air or is subject to
blockage, the Torrium2® adapts to its new maximum pressure. This may result in
your system pressure not dropping below the new cut-in pressure and your pump
not starting. This is more likely to occur when boosting mains pressure. Should this
occur, re-prime your pump unit. Should this not prove successful, it is likely you have
a blockage in the pump. You should contact your Davey dealer for assistance.

Priming and Operation

The Torrium2® module fitted to your BT Booster is provided with a push button
“Prime” button. This button is used during initial priming of the pump and also acts
as a reset button if the Torrium2® switches out in pump protection mode.
4. Switch on power - The
status indicator light
will be illuminated
green and the pump
will run. A full flow
of water should be
discharged from the
open tap.

1.	 Remove priming plug and fill
casing and suction line (on flooded
suction or mains boosting, simply
open gate valve to pump). When
full, replace priming plug.

5. If the pump stops with the tap open
see troubleshooting checklist.
	
6.	 Close the open outlet or tap and
the pump should stop after a few
seconds (the status indicator light
should be illuminated red (constant).
If not, consult the troubleshooting
checklist.

2.	 Ensure outlet nearest
	 to pump is open.

To Reset if Pump switches out in
Pump Protection Mode
1.	 Make sure pump is primed.
2.	 Open tap, push prime button.
3.	 Close tap and pump will stop.

3.	 Ensure all valves in suction line
are open.

Maintenance
WARNING : Under no circumstances should Torrium2® controller be
disassembled. Failure to observe this warning will expose persons to the
possibility of personal injury and may also result in damage to other property.
Do not dismantle, no user serviceable parts, spring under pressure.

The only regular attention your new pressure system may require will be if you
have used an additional pressure tank. Depending on the tank used you may need
to check the pressure tank’s air charge every 6 months. Follow the instructions
applicable to each tank.

Trouble Shooting Check List

Choosing a Site

Choose a site with a firm base and as close to the water source as possible with
correct power supply. Make sure your pressure system is always connected to an
adequate, reliable source of clean water.

Housing your Davey Pressure Booster System
To protect your pressure booster system from the weather, make sure the
pump house is both water proof, frost free and has adequate
ventilation. The pump should be horizontally mounted on a
firm base allowing for drainage, to avoid damage to flooring
etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or
pump seals. Do not mount the pump vertically. Never place
flammable materials on or near your pump.

WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, find electrical devices
attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is susceptible to
insect infestation you should implement a suitable pest control plan.
FREEZING CONDITIONS: In situations subject to freezing, drain water from
pump, tank & pipework to avoid damage not covered under guarantee.

Power Connection
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump label. Do not use long
extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor pump performance
and may cause motor overload.
BT14-30, BT20-30 and BT14-45 models are 115 volt 60Hz models, fitted with
NEMA 5-15P plugs intended for direct connection to a three pin wall socket.
BT20-40 models are 230 volt 60Hz only and are fitted with NEMA 6-15P plugs
intended for direct connection to a 6-15R three pin wall socket. The color codes
are: Green = Ground/Earth, Black = Hot, Active or L1, White = Neutral or L2.
Ensure that the circuit including the breakers on the power supply have sufficient
capacity to accommodate pump starting amperage. Davey recommend a minimum
circuit capacity of 20 amps for 115 volt models and 10 amps for 230 volt models.
All wiring must conform to National (NEC), CSA, state, provincial, and local
codes. Power supply voltage, phase and controls must match motor.
The Davey Torrium2® fitted to this pump has status indicator light mounted
on its front panel. These lights will only work when unit is connected to an
electrical supply.

The electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualified
electrician and comply with applicable local standards.

5

Auto-retry and Water Return Modes

Should your Torrium2® detect a loss of prime, after stopping the pump, it will wait
five minutes before activating Auto-retry and Water Return modes. Auto-retry
automatically starts the pump to see if the pump is now primed. It does this after 5
mins, 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 8 hrs, 16 hrs and 32 hrs. Water return mode will restart
the pump automatically if the Torrium2® detects water flow through it.

Electrical Power Surge Protection

An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause serious
damage to your electrical equipment. The Torrium2® fitted to this pump has a metal
oxide varistor (MOV) fitted to help protect it’s circuit. This MOV is a “sacrificial”
device, meaning that it effectively is gradually damaged every time it takes a surge.
The MOV is not a lightning arrestor and may not protect the Torrium2® if lightning or
a very powerful surge hits the pump unit.
If the installation is subject to electrical power surges or lightning we strongly
recommend the use of suitable additional surge protection devices on ALL electrical
equipment.
Abrasive Materials
The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the pressure
system which will then not be covered by the guarantee.

Always disconnect and lockout all electrical power when installing
or working on pumps, motor or switches. Insure the power supply
breaker is off or the disconnect (where used) is off.

Ensure wall socket is correctly grounded.
Grounding of the motor is essential for your
protection and the protection of the motor.
Failure to ground motor can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock hazard.

Do not ground to a gas supply line.
Supply voltage must be within +10% of
nameplate voltage. Incorrect voltage can
cause fire or seriously damage motor and
voids warranty. If in doubt consult a licensed
electrician.
If possible, connect pump to a separate
branch circuit with no other appliances on it.

BELOW GROUND WATER SOURCES
Whenever the installation position of
the pump is higher than 3ft above the
lowest water level, a foot valve must
be used on the end of the suction pipe
as illustrated in (A). Ensure that the
foot valve is at least 11/2 feet below
minimum water level.

(DRIVEN) POINT INSTALLATIONS
When a Multistage Pressure Boosting
System is installed on a (driven or well)

immediately on top of the driven point itself, as shown in (B). DO NOT INSTALL
THE CHECK VALVE AT THE PUMP OR AT THE TOP OF THE WELL. DO NOT
RUN THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER. NOTE: Be certain to select the driven
point to suit the well conditions and regulate the flow rate from the pump
accordingly.

Connection to your Water Source
FLOODED SUCTION - FROM CISTERN OR
STORAGE TANK
Installations with flooded suction require a gate
valve so water supply can be turned off for pump
removal and servicing.

FLOODED SUCTION - FROM MUNICIPAL
WATER SUPPLY OR WELL PUMP
Connection of Municipal Water Supply to
either Suction or Discharge of Pumps &
Pressure Systems
Most Water Supply Authorities have strict
regulations regarding direct connection of pumps to municipal water supplies. In
some cases an isolating tank is required between mains supply and pump. Directly
applied municipal pressure can exceed pump operating pressure and damage
pump (see table overleaf).

Surge Protector Status Window

To allow you to check the status of the inbuilt MOV in the Torrium2® there is a
viewing window at the back of the Torrium2® above the power lead entry / exit
grommet. The MOV is the blue disc shaped component. Should it be consumed
due to power spikes it will almost always blacken the viewing port. This will indicate
a non-warrantable failure.
NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are fitted with an automatic
reset thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a
problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 115°F) in
pump enclosure.

Pipe Connections

For best performance use
P.V.C. or polythene pipes at
least the same diameter as the
pump’s inlet and delivery outlet
openings. Larger diameter
pipe may be used to minimise
resistance to flow when pumping
longer distances.

MAINS WATER

Do not use pipe thread sealing compounds on any part of this pump. ONLY
use Teflon sealing tape.

Use unions at pipe connections to
enable easy removal and servicing.
Use sufficient tape to ensure airtight
seal and hand tighten only. To prevent
strain on pump threads always support
heavy inlet and outlet pipes. If there
is a likelihood the water supply may
contain solid particles such as pieces of
plant or vegetable matter, a filter should
be installed before the pump to avoid
blocking of water ways. Lay suction pipe
at a constant gradient to avoid air pockets
which may reduce pump efficiency.

NOTE: The above pressure limits also apply to well pump boosting.

A pressure reducing valve is required on the suction side of the pump when
the incoming pressure is greater than shown on the table above. In some
areas, local codes restrict maximum allowable home pressures, and in those
cases the pressure reducing valve will need to be set to lower pressures.

NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and
are difficult to detect. Ensure all connections are completely sealed using
thread tape only.
Flexible pipe should be considered to allow for movement between
building, pump and/or water supply. Braided hose, reinforced hose or
polythene pipe are suitable.

Extra Draw-off Capacity

The Torrium2® controller has an in-built accumulator which will accommodate small
leaks. In some applications it may be appropriate to install additional accumulator
(Supercell pressure tank) capacity. These applications includes:
• 	 Long suction lines (see Suction Lines / Lift)
• 	 Low flow appliances connected to the pump, such as evaporative air
conditioners, slow filling toilet cisterns, etc.
Any additional accumulators can be installed either in place of the priming
plug (see Figure 1) for tanks up to 5 gallons total capacity, or for larger tanks,
downstream of the controller (ie. between the controller and the first outlet).

Torrium2 Check Valve Removal
Remove priming cap and
turn over cap. Lugs on
cap will engage check
valve to unscrew.

NOTE: If fitting a tank to the priming port, you may require a 1”
BSP socket, since Torrium2® prime port is 1” male BSP thread.
Where extra draw-off capacity is utilised the additional pressure tank should have a
pre-charge of 70% of the maximum system (shut-off) pressure, see table below.

Evaporative coolers, RO filters and extra draw-off
capacity

Where a Torrium2 equipped pump is required to supply water to an evaporative
cooler, reverse osmosis (R.O.) filter or similar low flow device, the Torrium2® will detect
the limited demand. This will result in the Torrium2® adapting to the slow demand. The
pump start pressure will be allowed to drop to a lower cut in pressure each time low
flows are detected. To provide the maximum draw-off from the additional pressure tank,
the tank’s pre-charge should be set at 45% of the pump shut-off pressure.
If normal flow is required from your system, Torrium2® will initiate instant start.
Fit the pressure tank (up to 5 gallons total capacity) to the tank connection/priming port
with thread tape and pipe socket. Firmly hand tighten. For larger tanks, these should
be installed downstream of the controller.

Installations with flooded suction require
a gate or isolating valve so water supply
can be turned off for pump removal and
servicing.

®

Abrasive Materials
The pumping of abrasive materials will
cause damage to the pressure system which
will then not be covered by the guarantee.

DO NOT USE THREAD SEALING COMPOUNDS, HEMP OR PIPE DOPE!

Where to use Check Valves and Foot Valves

The Torrium2® controller fitted to BT Boosters has an inbuilt non-return (check)
valve fitted. In flooded suction installations there is no need to have a suction nonreturn valve.
In suction lift installations a footvalve will normally be required for the pump to
retain prime.
In some suction lift installations there may be good reason to remove the inbuilt
check valve to ensure that the discharge pressure is also applied to the suction line
and footvalve. This could be where the suction line was very long or where there
was concern regarding a leaking footvalve. This may not always be applicable and
it is acceptable to retain the inbuilt check valve in the Torrium2 on suction lifts with
good suction plumbing.
Should the inbuilt check valve be removed though, an additional accumulator
should be fitted to the Torrium2, or discharge pipework as applicable, to ensure the
pump is not cycled on shut down. The size of this accumulator will depend on the
size, length and type of pipe used on the suction.
8

For Automatic Pressure
Pumps Installed with a Mains
Pressure Hot Water System
To protect your system from damage
caused by back pressure from hot
water systems, you should always
have installed on the hot water inlet
an approved non-return valve. In
some cases an expansion tank may
be required. Please consult an HVAC
specialist.

NOTE: Always ensure hot water systems are installed in compliance with
manufacturers recommendations and in accordance with all local regulations.
