Flojet Bottle Pump for Espresso Machine Use

[@Stinsonddog]

Can you explain below how you connected the accumulator to the Flojet. It looks like the 1/4" inch has been replaced with something much larger?

[@sbcreative]

Hello. Would you say you would need separate pumps and accumulator tanks for pitcher rinser and espresso machine or could you run them both off one pump one accumulator? Very usual info. Thanks for posting

[@Caffewerks]

Steve Brown hello Steve, you can run both off one system useing a series of oneway check valves. If curious send an email to [e-mail]

[@sbcreative]

@@Caffewerks Thanks man. In the process of fitting out but will defo email if have any questions. Appreciate it!

[@maneaal-mehairi5515]

How did you manage to connect the shurflo to the flojet, i mean what did you use to make it all fit.

[@Cesarz28]

Is it too noisy? For a refrigerator

[@NapoleonRinconHomeBarista]

God bless you for sharing this information! : )

[@CRA677]

I have a Slayer on order, and plan on using the bottle system you use. I will be filling my bottle from sink tap water. My questions are: 1. Where would you plumb in a pressure regulator, and what should the pressure be set at? 2. Being that I'm using tap water, where in the system would you plumb in a filter system? 3. What should the pressure of the accumulator be set to? Thanks for the video. It's quite helpful. Cheers!

[@brandons5396]

How often should Flojet pump be kicking in? I have mine setup with pressurized tank and usually it will toggle on every second shot or near the end of shot.

[@Caffewerks]

A BW5000 pump will kick on nearly every time to draw water from it. Adding a larger accumulator tank will keep it from turning on and off every time

[@tylerarchibald3510]

I was under the impression that bsp and npt are not compatible. You don't get any leaks connected those thread types?

[@zmezgar2387]

Didnt read the comments so I am not sure if anyone mentioned or not. Your volumne was way down couldnt hear anything on my end. Barely. All my volumes were up had to use closed caption.

Hi! To be fair 2015 was a long time ago in technology for easy video recording! Haha. Check out our newer BW5000 video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKm4poKYr9qegJY

[@jeffg5179]

I've listened to a couple of your videos. Your tech know-how is top notch. But there's a lot of background noise, making it often difficult to understand what you're saying.

[@Caffewerks]

Thanks Jeff. I am redoing the pump videos currently with additional information on sourcing. Thanks for the feedback.

[@carolhenderson43]

Can I hook this onto a Grindmaster GB5MF Cappuccino/Espresso/Latte Maker & Dispenser

[@Дикийдерзкий-ы6п]

sorry I didn't exactly get the purpose of that black cylinder between the pump and the espresso machine. is it strongly recommended to use it with the pump or it depends on espresso machine properties

[@Caffewerks]

+Дикий, дерзкий The accumulator is useful to keep the pump from cycling on and off. It allows additional downline pressure during extraction on a espresso machine maintaining even pressure.

[@Дикийдерзкий-ы6п]

Caffewerks thanks!

[@sarahcairns2391]

my pump and espresso machine hasnt been used for a week. Its been below freezing temp. the expresso machine and main pump works fine but the flojet pump has stopped working. the power light is flashing. Any suggestions on getting it working as soon as possible?? many thanks Sarah

[@Caffewerks]

sarah cairns a flashing light means that the pump is not getting water. Any chance your system froze?

[@shenghofu]

Hope you can help me out. now i'm not using accumulator; I directly connect flojet to espresso machine. everytime i brew, and espresso machine starts pumping, then flojet will go off and on and off and on until i stop brewing. off i mean the light on the power adaptor goes off, and go back on itself, and off and on. It seems like the power is insufficient or something like that. However, if i empty espresso machine, and turn that on, espresso machine starts pumping water from flojet without any problem until the tank is full. Does this mean my flojet is defected ? Any advise is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@Caffewerks]

Check valves and an accumulator. Shop Caffewerks.com and we will set you up properly

[@gokhanc3401]

hii Can i also use this sysstem in the pitcher rinser at the same time or do i need another pump for the pitcher rinser? plss can you help me

[@Caffewerks]

You can use one pump but balancing the pressure is the trick. Shop caffewerks.com and we will buid the proper system for you

[@isaacardizon2992]

Is this flojet good to use for a 2 group head espresso machine 220v?

[@Caffewerks]

Isaacar Dizon yes this would work fine.

[@gappaman]

Hi, I would like to know what is the accumulator tank model used on this video?

[@gappaman]

@@Caffewerks Thank you so much.

[@johnroll5831]

Very good video, thank you for taking the time

[@kmktrailers3795]

Hey, where did you buy your quick connects for the accumulator?

[@Caffewerks]

installation Parts Supply

[@jamesh4613]

Hi. Thank you for your video. I have set up my system the same way as you suggested. As soon and I installed the accumulator I started to get water that has a very bad taste (plastic like). I’ve passed through 5 gallons and the taste is still there ( over 24 hours). Will this dissipate? If not, would a carbon filter inline work? Thank you.

[@Caffewerks]

James H what type of tubing did you use. We suggest using only tubing that has been NSF approved.

[@jamesh4613]

Caffewerks I issued flex braided tubing...they say NSF on them but not NSF 51 or 61. You think tubing is the most likely culprit over the tank? Thanks for the quick reply!

[@Caffewerks]

James H NSF is good enough the different ratings like 51 don’t really matter in this instance. Accumulators are made for water systems so it is unlikely that that is the culprit. We use carbon block on everything do it wouldn’t hurt.

[@jamesh4613]

Caffewerks Ok. Thanks. I’ll give it some time to see if it subsides. Do you have a recommendation for a decent inline carbon filter?

[@amandat.5610]

I have also read that you could end up with bad tasting water when using the Flojet accumulator. Please advise, or update as I am getting ready to install one for my espresso machine water system. Thanks!

[@TheRealLanceCummings]

Where might one obtain the accumulator? Do you have a brand name?

[@Caffewerks]

Hello, I use several sources but you could try this link to Amazon as an option www.amazon.com/Flojet-305730004A-Accumulator-Tank/dp/B004BC8LZO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515023951&sr=8-1&keywords=flojet+accumulator

[@paddypump1]

Great information but almost impossible to hear. Get yerself a damn microphone.

[@Caffewerks]

So true! We filmed a new version last month.. most recent post.

Very difficult to watch
