What is the normal consistency of Slic-Tite?

Slic-Tite has a gritty texture due to PTFE materials and may have oil sitting on the top which should be mixed in before use.

Can I use Slic-Tite on plastic threads?

The AGA approval has only been tested and approved for metal threads. 

Can I use Slic-Tite with a water system?

It has been approved for water according to American standards, but it is not Watermark approved for Australia.

What is the working pressure for each gas when using the Bromic Oxyset Mobile Brazing kit?

Map-Pro has a working pressure of 0.5-0.9 bar. Oxygen has a working pressure of 4-6 bar.

What is the Bromic Oxyset Mobile Brazing Kit flame temperature?

The flame temperature is about 3200 degrees Celsius, but this depends on the ratio of oxygen to fuel when burning.

Which controllers are compatible for jet pumps?

We have a 3kW pressure controller (7575372) which controls the pump supply for the rainwater. We have a hydro switch (7575029) which can be added to this controller to allow the mains water to be connected so water can be supplied even if there is no tank water

My jet pump is constantly running and not shutting off.

Either there is no controller connected or it is not plugged in correctly. Read instruction manual to see how to connect the controller.

Can I use the pump in an area that gets cold or freezes?

Shouldn’t use this pump if its in a place where water freezes. Water will expand when it freezes inside the pump and will cause the pump to crack. The water should be fully drained from the pump and pipes during these periods. 

How do I increase the pressure on my jet pump?

Check on the flow vs head chart. If you decrease the flow the pressure will increase. More pressure can also be achieved with less bends and height in the piping. Pressure=head*9.81*specific density

Where is the start switch for my jet pump?

It will work when it is primed with water and the power is plugged in.
