Waterloss shutdown
Waterloss shutdown is another feature of the
Vactronic® priming 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
minute timer to shut down the pump unit.

Vactronic® Auto Vacuum Priming System

When the Multiflo® MF pump unit is started, the Vactronic® priming system will
quickly and efficiently evacuate the air and allow the water to enter the priming
tank and the pump will then be primed. Once the water in the priming tank
contacts the upper probe, the drive to the vacuum pump will disengage. If at any The heavy duty, auto
time the level in the priming tank drops below the upper probe, the drive will re-
engage and allow the water to re-enter back to the probe level. With this system,
