A1	Water comes out from vent of my vented loop? What should I do? Vent from vented loop (1 1/2") should be vented outside. Also vent should be vented higher than the loop. Vented loop supplied by Raritan does not have check valve (duckbill valve) in the vent. If vent is vented higher than loop, then vented loop is more reliable without duckbill valve. Sometimes water will still drip from vent if discharge lines are temporarily clogged. 3/4" and 1" loops need not be vented outside if not used with effluent. A duckbill valve is recommended for these loops. Back to top
A2	What is the ampere rating of Raritan CDS solenoid relays?** 12 volt: (CDS12) 150 amp inrush, 80 amps continuous; 24 volt (CDS24) 50 amps inrush, 50 amps continuous; 32 volt (CDS32) 50 amps inrush, 50 amps continuous. Back to top
A3	How do I winterize the Raw Water Strainer? See RWS instructions manual for more detail. Back to top
A4	What size are the inlet and outlet of the Raritan Raw Water Strainer? The inlet and outlet are nominal 1 1/2" female pipe threads. Adapters are available to reduce the fittings to other standard size plumbing fittings. Use plastic fittings only; metal fittings have different expansion and contraction rates, which can cause cracking of the plastic. Back to top
