Unpacking
The AQUA-LAB is shipped in a wooden crate for protection. 1. Cut straps holding crate together, lift off top and sides 2. Un-bolt the Pump Stand from the pallet. 3. Lift the Pump Stand from the pallet. Use assistance if
necessary. 4. ***Be sure not to discard of the manuals and accessories
box.
Location and Mounting **If location was not identified during the Pre-Installation Process, make sure to consider the proximity to feed water, power supply, and the control cabinet as well as space near the system to store chemical containers. ***See drawing in appendix for general layout AQUA-LAB MD5
1. Drill 4 5/32” holes on the wall. 16 3/8” wide, 275/8” tall
2. Press MD5 board tight against the wall.
3. Screw in 3/16” concrete screws with a washer provided.

Feed Water Connection **PRIOR TO CONNECTION, ENSURE THAT THE FEED LINES ARE FREE OF DEBRIS BY FLUSHING OUT THE LINES FOR 15 MINUTES
• Connect pre-run main water supply line to pump inlet with hose supplied.
o Single operating pump: 1” MNPT o Dual operating pump: 1-1/2” MNPT
Pneumatic Connections **IF AIR IS NOT REQUIRED FOR YOUR AQUA-LAB, PLEASE SKIP THIS SECTION
• Connect pre-run 3/8" OD poly feed line to push connect fitting on the side of the primary regulator
• Connect 3/8” OD poly lines from arch to each port that will be foaming
**If there are unused air ports, back out the individual line regulator until air no longer flows

Electrical Connections
1. Electrical Connections a. Wire yellow homerun control cables to car wash control panel
(See diagram below for wiring schematic) Manifold position below designates which port is associated to what color wire.
• Example: if you want Presoak 1 to be on manifold port 2, connect the green wire to your controller relay for Presoak 1.
********************(HFI supplied motor starter)****************
Electrical Connection
Main Trunk Cable Wire Color
GROUND Green/Yellow DO NOT USE Blue
Control Voltage Constant HOT / + Brown
Neutral / Common Red Port 1 White Port 2 Green Port 3 Yellow Port 4 Grey Port 5 Pink
(Left to right on water manifold, top to bottom on air valves refer to diagram on Page 2)
b. Remove the cap from port 6 then, connect the grey M12
cables hanging out of the motor starter box to the NEUTRAL/COMMON port 6 of the yellow M12 junction boxes
i. If you have more panels than grey wires from the motor starter box, connect the lose grey wires sent in the shipment into the same jumpers as the prewired grey cables.
(This step must be completed for unit to function)
c. Connect Powerfast Cordset on motor(s) to motor starter box
d. In the lower left of the enclosure, wire each leg of the incoming power to the terminals
labeled 2T1, 4T2, and 6T3. • Make sure to follow all applicable electrical codes.

Startup Pump Priming Instructions
1. Pull each pump outlet line at AQUA-LAB manifold quick-connect. Open ball valve until a steady stream of water is flowing, and then reconnect.
2. Start the pumps one at a time using the motor starter. Ensure
that pump rotation is correct as indicated on pump and that 200 psi can be reached.
o Remove pump motor cover and look at shaft to confirm correct
rotation (clockwise)
3. With the pump off, close the ball valve on the high pressure line to the
AQUA-LAB. 4. Quick disconnect the line at the AQUA-LAB manifold and point in a safe direction.
5. Hold the line to control it and start the pump; slowly crack the ball valve approximately 15 degrees open for 10
seconds.
6. Slowly open ball valve till wide open. Allow to run for 60 seconds to flush lines and then close valve.
7. Reconnect the high pressure line at the quick disconnect and open valve. 8. Confirm that the pump can obtain 200 psi while firing solenoids and that the pump housing is cool to the touch
after a minute in operation.
o If housing is hot or noisy then pump did not prime. 9. If pump does not prime, repeat steps 3-6 10. Verify pump prime 24 hours after operation as well to ensure prime held!! Pay close attention to the temperature
of the pump housing (stainless steel area).If it starts getting hotter than the supply water or greater then 140°, then it is likely that the pump did not prime correctly which will cause damage to pumps!! Motor housing (painted portion) will be hot during operation.
