Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual

or on pump.

This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol

on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the following

signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury!

DANGER warns about hazards that will cause seri-

ous personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

WARNING warns about hazards that can cause

serious personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

CAUTION warns about hazards that will or can

cause minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.

The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which are impor-

tant but not related to hazards.

To avoid serious or fatal personal injury and possible property

damage, carefully read and follow the safety instructions.

1. Under certain conditions, submersible pumps

can develop extremely high pressure. Install a

pressure relief valve capable of passing entire

pump flow at 75 PSI (517kPa) when using an

air over water pressure tank. Install a pressure relief valve

capable of passing entire pump flow at 100 PSI (690 kPa)

when using a pre-charged pressure tank.

Do not allow pump, pressure tank, piping, or any other

system component containing water to freeze. Freezing

may damage system, leading to injury or flooding. Allowing

pump or system components to freeze will void warranty.

2. Can shock, burn or cause death. To avoid

dangerous or fatal electric shock hazard, use

pump only in a water well.

Risk of dangerous or fatal electrical shock.

Do not install this pump in any pond, river, or other open body of

water that could be used for swimming or recreation. Do not swim,

wade or play in a body of water in which a submersible pump has

been installed.

Install, ground and wire pump according to local and Cana-

dian Electrical Code or National Electrical Code requirements

that apply.

Disconnect electrical power supply before installing or servic-

ing pump.

Make sure line voltage and frequency of power supply match

motor nameplate voltage and frequency.

3. Install pump according to all plumbing, pump and well code

requirements.

4. Test well water for purity before using well. Call your local health

department for testing procedure.

5. During installation, keep well covered to prevent leaves and for-

eign matter from falling into well. Foreign objects in well can con-

taminate water and cause serious mechanical damage to pump.

6. Pipe joint compound can cause cracking in plastics. Use only

teflon tape when sealing joints in plastic pipe or connecting pipe

to thermoplastic pumps.

PRE-INSTALLATION

Inspect pump and motor for delivery damage. Report any damage

immediately to shipping carrier or to your dealer.

Well driller should thoroughly develop well (pump out all fine sand

and foreign matter) before pump is installed. (See Initial Startup)

Pump performance is based on pumping clear, cold water with no

entrained air.

Warranty is void in the following conditions:

• Pump has pumped excessive sand which can cause premature

wear to pump. (See Initial Startup).

• Water is corrosive.

• If entrained gas or air present in water being pumped, reduce flow

and cause cavitation which can damage pump.

• Pump has been operated with discharge valve closed – severe

internal damage will result.

Install pump at least 15 to 20' (4.6 - 6.1M) below the lowest water

level reached with pump running (lowest draw-down water level),

and at least 5' (1.5M) above bottom of well.

ELECTRICAL

WIRING/GROUNDING

Can shock, burn, or cause death.

Permanently ground pump, motor and

submersible motor control before connecting

power supply to motor.

Ground pump and motor in accordance with all codes and ordi-

nances that apply. Use copper ground wire at least as large as

wires carrying current to motor.

Motor is supplied with copper ground wire. Splice to copper conduc-

tor that matches motor wire size specified in Table 3. See “cable

splicing” under Installation.

Permanently ground pump, motor and submersible motor control

before connecting power cable to power supply. Connect ground wire

to approved ground first, then connect to equipment being installed.

Do not ground to gas supply line.

Fire and electrical shock hazard. If using a power

supply wire larger than No. 10 (5mm

) (for example, No. 8 (7mm

)

wire) between pump and submersible motor control, run wire to sep-

arate junction box. Connect junction box to submersible motor con-

trol with a No. 10 (5mm

) wire.

For more information, contact your local code officials.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

All wiring must meet Canadian Electrical Code or National Electrical

Code and local code requirements.

Use only copper wire for connections to pump and submersible

motor control.

INSTALLATION WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Single Phase, 3 Wire

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill.

Ground submersible motor control, all metal plumbing, and motor frame

with copper wire in compliance with Canadian Electrical Code or

National Electrical Code and local codes. Use ground wire at least as

large as the wires supplying power to motor.

At well head, connect ground wire to grounding terminal that meets

Canadian Electrical Code or National Electrical Code requirements that

apply. For more information, contact local code officials.

Permanently close all unused openings in this and other equipment.

Disconnect power before working on or around submersible motor con-

trol, pipes, cable, pump, or motor.

NOTICE: Install submersible motor control vertically on wall with top side up.

3-Wire pumps have three power supply wires (Red/Black/Yellow) and

one ground wire (Green).

3 wire pumps will not operate without submersible motor control;

attempting to do so will burn out motor.

Installations must include circuit and component protection in compli-

ance with U.S. National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code,

Part 1.

If main overload trips, look for:

1. Shorted Capacitor

2. Voltage Problems

3. Overload or locked pump.

NOTICE: Use only submersible motor control specified for your

pump. Make sure motor and submersible motor control match

(Table 4). FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID WARRANTY.

For motors of 1-1/2 HP and above, use magnetic

starter to avoid damage to pressure switch. Consult factory for

wiring information.

Single Phase, 2 Wire

2-Wire pumps have two power supply wires (Red/Black) and one

ground wire (Green). Submersible motor control is not required.

See Figure 1B for correct hook-up information for 230 Volt 2-Wire

motors only.

NOTE:

1. Maximum wire lengths shown maintain motor voltage at 95% of

service entrance voltage, running at maximum nameplate

amperes. If service entrance voltage will be at least motor name-

plate voltage under normal load conditions, 50% additional length

is permissable for all sizes.

2. Sizes given are for copper wire. For aluminum wire go two sizes

larger (i.e., if table lists #12 (3mm

) copper wire, use #10 (5mm

)

aluminum wire.)

INSTALLATION

WIRE SPLICING

Splice wire to motor leads. Use only copper wire for connections to

pump motor and control box.

Taped splice

(Wire Sizes No. 8 (7mm

) and larger):

A. Cut off motor leads. Stagger lead and wire length so that 2nd

lead is 2" (50.8mm) longer than 1st lead and 3rd lead is 2"

(50.8mm) longer than second.

B. Cut off power supply wire ends. Match colors and lengths of

wires to colors and lengths of motor leads.

C. Trim insulation back 1/2" (12.7mm) from supply wire and

motor lead ends.

D. Insert motor lead ends and supply wire ends into butt con-

nectors (see Fig. 2). Match wire colors between supply wires

and motor leads.

E. Using crimping pliers, indent butt connector lugs (see Fig. 3)

to attach wires.

F. Cut “Scotchfil” electrical insulation putty into 3 equal parts

and form tightly around butt connectors. Be sure scotchfil

overlaps insulated part of wire.

G. Using #33 Scotch tape, wrap each joint tightly; cover wire for

about 1-1/2" (38.1mm) on each side of joint. Make four pass-

es with the tape. When finished you should have four layers

of tape tightly wrapped around the wire. Press edges of tape

firmly down against the wire (see Fig. 5).

NOTICE: Since tightly wound tape is the only means of keep-

ing water out of splice, efficiency of splice will depend on care

used in wrapping tape.

NOTICE: For wire sizes larger than No. 8 (7mm

), use sol-

dered joint rather than Scotchfil putty (see Fig. 4).

Heat shrink splice

(For wire sizes #14, 12 and 10 AWG (2, 3 and

5mm

A. Remove 3/8" (9.5mm) insulation from ends of motor leads

and power supply wires.

B. Put plastic heat shrink tubing over motor leads between

power supply and motor.

C. Match wire colors and lengths between power supply and

motor.

D. Insert supply wire and lead ends into butt connector and

crimp (See Figs. 2 and 3). Match wire colors between power

supply and motor. Pull leads to check connections.

E. Center tubing over butt connector and apply heat evenly with

torch (match or lighter will not supply enough heat).

NOTICE: Keep torch moving. Too much concentrated heat

may damage tubing (see Fig. 6).

Gauge AWG Wire (2, 3 and 5mm

A. Cut off motor leads. Stagger lead and wire length so that 2nd

lead is 4" (101.6mm) longer than 1st lead and 3rd lead is 4"

(101.6mm) longer than second.

B. Cut off wire ends. Match colors and lengths of wires between

power supply and motor.

C. Trim insulation back 1/2" (12.7mm) from power supply wire

and motor lead ends.

D. Unscrew plastic caps from insulators. Place a cap and neo-

prene gasket sleeve on each wire to be spliced (see Fig. 7).

E. Slide insulator body onto one wire end (Fig. 7).

F. Insert wire end into butt connector and crimp. Match wire col-

ors between power supply and motor (see Fig. 8).

G. Center insulator body over splice and slide gasket sleeves into

body as far as they will go. Screw caps onto insulator body

(Fig. 9) and tighten by hand for a strong, waterproof splice.

POWER SUPPLY WIRE INSTALLATION

1. To test submersible, momentarily (no more than 30 seconds)

connect it to proper power supply. Power supply frequency and

voltage must match motor nameplate frequency and voltage to

within ±10%.

2. Fasten power supply wire leads securely to pump discharge sec-

tion; leave 4-5" (100-125mm) of slack in leads at this point.

Securely fasten leads to plastic pipe within 6" (150mm) of the

pump discharge section. Use centering guides to protect wire

and pipe from rubbing well casing.

3. Connect copper ground wire to motor bracket. Ground wire

must be as large as wires supplying current to motor. Consult

current Canadian Electrical Code and local codes for grounding

information.

4.Use only submersible power supply wires supplied by pump

manufacturer. When lowering pump into well, secure supply

wires to discharge pipe at 10 ft. (3M) intervals with Scotch #33

electrical tape. DO NOT damage pump wires.

NOTICE: To avoid dropping pump down well or damaging wires

or splices, NEVER allow pump wires to support weight of pump.

PUMP INSTALLATION

1.If standard air over water pressure tank is used, install two

bleeder orifices about 2 ft. (.6M) apart as shown in Fig. 12.

Orifices will automatically charge the tank with air. See Fig. 12 to

determine orifice location.

NOTICE: If Pre-charged tank is used, DO NOT install bleeder

orifices. If pump and pre-charged tank are replacing a standard

tank system, remove bleeder orifices before installing pump in

well.

2.To prevent losing pump down the well, connect safety rope

strong enough to support pump and drop pipe (minimum 5/16"

(8mm) twisted polypropylene or pronila rope) to eyelet on pump

discharge. Tie off other end of safety rope securely to well seal,

well cap or pitless adapter.

3.Discharge outlet is 1-1/4" NPT threaded.

Use 100 PSI (689.5kPa) rated polyethylene plastic pipe for

installations up to 100' (30.5M) depth.

Use 160 PSI (1103.2 kPa) rated polyethylene plastic for installa-

tions up to 220' (67.1M) depth.

For depths beyond 220' (67.1M) use galvanized steel pipe for

the entire drop pipe.

INITIAL START-UP/NEW WELLS

NOTICE: NEVER operate pump with discharge valve completely

closed. Pump can destroy itself if run with discharge shut off (“dead-

headed”) and warranty will be void.

NOTICE: To avoid sand-locking pump, follow procedure below

when starting pump for the first time. NEVER start a pump with dis-

charge completely open unless you have done this procedure first.

1.Connect a pipe elbow, a short length of pipe and a gate valve to

pump discharge at well head (see Fig. 10).

2.Mount submersible motor control (3-wire pump) or fused discon-

nect switch (2-wire pump) in a permanently weatherproof place.

Make sure that controls will not be subjected to extreme heat or

excess moisture.

3.Make sure controls are in OFF position.

4.Connect motor leads and power supply to submersible motor

control or magnetic starter (see Installation Wiring Diagrams).

DO NOT START PUMP YET.

5.Set gate valve on discharge 1/3 open; start pump (see Fig. 10).

6.Keep gate valve at this setting while water pumps out on ground.

Let run until water is clear of sand or silt. (To check solids in

water, fill a glass from pump and let solids settle out).

7.When water is completely clear at 1/3 setting, open gate valve to

approximately two-thirds open and repeat process.

8.When water is completely clear at 2/3 setting, open gate valve

completely and run pump until water is completely clear.

9.Remove gate valve for permanent installation near tank (see

Figs. 11 and 12).

10.Install sanitary well seal or pitless adapter unit, well unit, electri-

cal conduit and surface piping. Installation must meet all code

requirements that apply.

CONNECTING TO TANK/

WATER SYSTEM

Hazardous pressure. Submersible pumps can

develop very high pressure in some situations. To prevent tank

blowup, install a pressure relief valve able to pass full pump

flow at 75 PSI (517.1 kPa) when using an air over water pres-

sure tank. Install a pressure relief valve capable of passing

entire pump flow at 100 PSI (690 kPa) when using a pre-

charged pressure tank. Install this relief valve between pump

and tank.

Pipe joint compound can cause cracking in plastics.

Use only teflon tape on joints in plastic pipe.

NOTICE: Allowing pump or piping system to freeze may severely dam-

age pump and will void warranty. Protect pump and entire piping system

(including pressure tank) from freezing.

PRE-CHARGED PRESSURE TANK HOOKUP

See Fig. 11 for piping connections to pre-charged pressure tank.

NOTICE: Check air pre-charge in tank before starting pump. Adjust

pre-charge to 2 PSI (13.8 kPa) below pump cut-in setting, (ie, a pre-

charge tank used with a 30-50 switch should be pre-charged with air

to 28 PSI (193.1 kPa). Adjust pre-charge by adding or bleeding air

through tire valve located on top of tank. Check pre-charge annually

and adjust as needed.

Important Electrical Grounding Information

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn,

or kill. To reduce the risk of electrical

shock during pump operation, ground and bond the pump and

motor as follows:

A. To reduce risk of electrical shock from metal parts of the assembly

other than the pump, bond together all metal parts accessible at

the well head (including metal discharge pipe, metal well casing,

and the like). Use a metal bonding conductor at least as large as

the power cable conductors running down the well to the pump's

motor.

B. Clamp or weld (or both if necessary) this bonding conductor to the

grounding means provided with the pump, which will be the equip-

ment-grounding terminal, the grounding conductor on the pump

housing, or an equipment-grounding lead. The equipment-ground-

ing lead, when provided, will be the conductor having green insula-

tion; it may also have one or more yellow stripes.

C. Ground the pump, motor, and any metallic conduit that carrys

power cable conductors. Ground these back to the service by con-

necting a copper conductor from the pump, motor, and conduit to

the grounding screw provided within the supply-connection box

wiring compartment. This conductor must be at least as large as

the circuit conductors supplying the pump

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Retain Original Receipt For Warranty Eligibility

Limited Warranty

This Limited Warranty is effective June 1, 2011 and replaces all undated warranties and warranties dated before June 1, 2011.

FLOTEC warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) that its products are free from defects in material and

workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the original consumer purchase. If, within twelve (12) months

from the original consumer purchase, any such product shall prove to be defective, it shall be repaired or replaced at FLOTEC’s

option, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Note that this limited warranty applies to manufacturing defects only

and not to ordinary wear and tear. All mechanical devices need periodic parts and service to perform well. This limited warranty

does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment.

The original purchase receipt and product warranty information label are required to determine warranty eligibility. Eligibility

is based on purchase date of original product – not the date of replacement under warranty. The warranty is limited to repair or

replacement of original purchased product only, not replacement product (i.e. one warranty replacement allowed per purchase).

Purchaser pays all removal, installation, labor, shipping, and incidental charges.

For parts or troubleshooting assistance, DO NOT return product to your retail store - contact FLOTEC Customer Service at

1-800-365-6832.

Claims made under this warranty shall be made by returning the product (except sewage pumps, see below) to the retail outlet

where it was purchased or to the factory immediately after the discovery of any alleged defect. FLOTEC will subsequently take

corrective action as promptly as reasonably possible. No requests for service will be accepted if received more than 30 days after

the warranty expires. Warranty is not transferable and does not apply to products used in commercial/rentalapplications.

Sewage Pumps

DO NOT return a sewage pump (that has been installed) to your retail store. Contact FLOTEC Customer Service. Sewage pumps

that have seen service and been removed carry a contamination hazard with them.

If your sewage pump has failed:

This warranty sets forth FLOTEC’s sole obligation and purchaser’s exclusive remedy for defective products.

FLOTEC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.

WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR

A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION

PROVIDED HEREIN.
