When the Biofluid dosing pump is first received there are a number of steps to be taken, as follows:
a) Locate a suitable position for the dosing pump:
1) On a solid wall which is close to the drain pipe from the sinks but upstream of the greasetrap (if fitted).
2) Close to a mains electricity supply (preferably a fused spur point).
3) Where the Biofluid container can be placed on the floor under the dosing pump.
b) Either arrange for a qualified electrician to connect the dosing pump through a fused spur (preferred option), or alternatively, wire a plug to the dosing pump and connect to a convenient 240 Volt socket and label the socket "Biofluid dosing pump - DO NOT TURN OFF!" - THIS IS IMPORTANT, IF THE PUMP IS TURNED OFF, YOUR DRAINS WILL BEGIN TO BLOCK!
c) Drill a 5mm hole in the top of the selected drain pipe, strap the injector pipe to the drainpipe tightly so that it seals to prevent smells and leaks! Connect a length of the flexible tube from the dosing pump ‘OUT’ connector to the injector pipe/strap.
d) Take the cap off a container of Biofluid, drill an 8mm hole through it and put the end of the flexible suction tube from the dosing pump through the lid. Slide the rigid, straight length of tubing over the end of the flexible pipe to act as a weight and add the rubber grommet to hold it in place, position so that the bottom of the rigid pipe touches the bottom of the container. Screw on the lid.
e) Turn the power to the dosing pump on and wait for the prime function to finish.
f) Check the timer, it is factory set to 1 minute or adjust as per instructions overleaf.

This pump is designed to inject the Biofluid bacteriological treatment liquid into a convenient drainpipe close to the kitchen sinks, upstream of the grease trap, usually at night after kitchen activity has ceased. The programmer allows up to 2 doses to be set, each one for a specific period of time. The period of time for dosing, controls the amount of fluid injected - 130ml per minute. The dosing pump is factory set to turn on at 2 a.m. with a pumping period either to suit the Biomass Greasetrap supplied, or for the std. Time of 1 minute which puts a dose of 130ml into the drainage system every night. The pump must be set to inject the correct volume of Biofluid - see the table below.

Open the timer casing taking care not to touch any electrical components. Please note that the unit will autoprime each time the unit is switched on, the pump will run for 10 seconds.
There are 3 buttons marked 1-MODE, 2-MOVE CURSOR and 3-CHANGE NUMBER. The programmer has 4 modes, pressing the mode button will cycle through each mode and return to the ‘GO’ mode. Holding the mode button for 5 seconds will return the programmer to the ‘GO’ mode also.
MODE 1 – ‘GO’
Button 1 = Change Mode
Button 2 = Activates the pump to prime the line, first press switches pump on, second press switches pump off.
Button 3 = No effect.
MODE 2 – ‘SET CLOCK’
Button 1 = Change mode
Button 2 = Moves cursor between hours and minutes.
Button 3 = Increases hours or minutes depending on cursor position.
MODE 3 – ‘SET ON TIME’
Button 1 = Change mode.
Button 2 = Not in Use
Button 3 = Change hour for pump to start operating. (24 hour clock)
MODE 4 – ‘SET RUN TIME’
Button 1 = change mode
Button 2 = Moves cursor between minutes and seconds
Button 3 = Increases minutes or seconds depending on the cursor position.
Mode 3 and 4 will repeat for program 2
