Pre-installation

BEFO

RE YOU INSTALL THIS PUMP

WARNING: Risk of expl

osion. Do not ground to a gas supply line. The pump body may explode if used as a booster pump or other than a

lawn sprin

kling application.

CAUTION: Risk

of burns. Do not touch an operating motor. Motors are designed to operate at high temperatures. It is protected from heat

damag

e during operation by an automatic internal cutoff switch. To avoid burns when servicing the pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after

shut down befor

e handling.

□ The pump’s wa

ter suction inlet must not be more than 20 ft. above the water level.

□ Long runs and many fittings increase friction and reduce water flow to the pump. Locate the pump as close to the water source as

possible. Use as few elbows and fittings as possible. Ensure the suction line is straight and angles up toward the pump.

□ Ensure the well and pipe are clear of sand, dirt, and scale. Foreign matter will plug the pump and void the warranty. Use new pipe

for best results.

□ Protect the pump and all piping from freezing.

□ Freezing will split pipe, damage the pump and void the warranty. Check locally for frost protection requirements. The pump cannot

be installed below the frost line and the pump must be insulated.

□ Foot or check valves (not included) must be installed in the suction pipe to optimize pump suction.

□ Ensure all pipes and valves are clean and in good shape.

□ Ensure there are no air pockets in the suction pipe.

□ Ensure there are no leaks in the suction pipe. Use Teflon tape or other approved sealants to seal pipe joints.

□ Unions installed near the pump and well will aid in servicing. Leave room to use wrenches.

Installation

WELL PIPE INSTALLATION

Use the installa

tion methods provided in this chapter that match with your water source.

CASED WELL/DUG WELL INSTALLATION

1. Inspect the

foot or in line check valve to be sure it works

freely. Inspect the strainer to be sure it is clean and

secure.

2. If using a foot valve, connect the foot valve and strainer to

the first length of suction pipe and lower the pipe into the

well. Add sections of pipe as needed, using Teflon tape on

the male threads. Use 1-1/2 in. pipe for suction pipe. Be

sure all suction pipe is leak proof or the pump will lose

prime and fail to pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20 ft. (3 to 6

m) below the lowest level to which water will drop while

the pump is operating (pumping water level). Your well

driller can furnish this information.

3. To prevent sand and sediment from entering the pumping

system, a foot valve/strainer should be at least 5 ft. (1.5 m)

above the bottom of the well.

4. When proper depth is reached, install a sanitary well seal

over the pipe and in the well casing. Tighten bolts to the

seal casing.

5. When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug are

recommended.

Installation (continued)

DRIVEN P

OINT INSTALLATION

1. Connect suctio

n pipe to the drive point. Keep the horizontal

pipe run as short as possible. Use Teflon tape on male pipe

threads. Multiple well points may be necessary to provide

sufficient water to the pump.

2. Install a check valve in the horizontal pipe. The flow arrow

on the check valve must point toward the pump.

PIPE FROM WELL TO PUMP

Pump performa

nce will be decreased if the pipe diameter is less

than the inlet size of the pump. In proper installation, the pipe size

equals the inlet size.

To aid priming on well point installations, install a line check valve.

Be sure the check valve flow arrow points toward the pump.

Pipe from pump to sprinkler heads discharge pipe size should be

increased to reduce pressure losses caused by friction on long pipe

runs:

□ Up to 100 ft. (30.5 m) run: Same size as pump discharge

port.

□ 100 ft. – 300 ft. (30.5 – 91.4 m) run: Increase one pipe size.

□ 300 ft. – 600 ft. (91.4 – 182.9 m) run: Increase two pipe

sizes.

PUMP/PIPING INSTALLATION

If turning the

pump on and off by pressure, a pressure switch and

tank are required. For proper installation and operation instructions

call Customer Service.

Use rigid pipe. Do not use hose or plastic tubing. See “Well Pipe

Installation” for more information.

Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape to joint compounds for

making all threaded connections to the pump itself.

Do not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps as they can

react with the plastic in pump components.

Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well

as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be

able to pull water from the well.

1. Bolt the pump to solid, level foundation.

2. Support all piping connected to the pump.

3. Wrap 1-1/2 to 2 layers of Teflon tape clockwise (as you

face the end of the pipe) on all male threads being

attached to pump.

4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not

overtighten.

5. Replace the prime plug with a pressure gauge. This will aid

in sizing zones, troubleshooting, and following the pump

performance chart.

NOTE: For long

horizontal pipe runs, install a priming

tee betwe

en the check valve and well head. See the

figure in th

e Cased Well/Dug Well Installation section

for further r

eference.

Electrical Settings

WARNING: Disconnect power before working on the pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring.

CAUTION: The motor may b

e hot. Allow the motor to cool for 20 minutes after shut down.

CAUTION: Water pressure may have built up in the pump, pipes, or tank. Drain water to relieve pressure.

MOTOR SWITCH SETTINGS

Motors are designed to run on

either 115 volt or 230 volt current.

Ensure the motor’s current is set to match the current being

supplied to your motor from the electrical source.

To ensure your motor is set at the correct current setting, remove

the motor cover plate from the motor and inspect the wiring connections to

ensure they are set correctly.

Wiring Connections

WARNING: Risk of el

ectric shock. Can shock, burn, or kill.

1. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to the motor before working on electrical

con

nections.

2. Grou

nd the motor before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground the motor can cause severe or

fatal electrical shock hazard.

3. Supply voltage must be within +/- 10% of the nameplate voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or damage the

motor and voids the warr

anty. If in doubt consult a licensed electrician.

4. Use a

wire size specified in the Wiring Chart (below). If possible, connect the pump to a separate branch circuit

with no other appliances on it.

Operation

WARNING: Hazardous Pressure. Install a pressure relief valve in the discharge pipe. Release all pressure on the system before working on

any component.

WARNING: Risk of explosion and scalding. NEVER run the

pump against a closed discharge. To do so can boil water

inside th

e pump, causing hazardous pressure in the unit,

risk of ex

plosion, and possibly scalding persons handling

the pump. Replace the priming plug with a pressure gauge

to monitor the pressure so that is i

t not allowed to exceed

the maximum pu

mping pressures according to the

performance chart.

To prevent expl

osion be sure the discharge (valve, pistol grip hose

nozzle, etc.) is open whenever the pump is running. Monitor the

pump body and piping temperature. The motor will warm up; this is

normal. If the pump body or piping begins to feel warm to the touch,

shut off the pump and allow the system to cool. Release all pressure

in the system and refill the pump and piping with cold water.

PRIMING THE PUMP

Pri

ming refers to pump expelling all air in the system and beginning to move water from its source out into the system. It does not refer only

to pouring water into the pump (although pouring water in is usually the first step).

CAUTION: Risk of burns. NEVER run the pump dry. Running the pump without water may cause the pump to overheat, damaging the seal

and possibly causing burns to persons handling the pump. Fill the pump with water before starting.

1. Remove the priming plug.

2. Make sure suction and dischar

ge valves and any hoses on the discharge side of the pump are open.

3. Fill the pump and suction pipe with water.

4. Replace the priming plug using Teflon tape on the threads. Tighten the plug. If the priming tee and plug have been provided for the

long horizontal run, fill the suction pipe through this tee and replace the plug. (Use Teflon tape on plug.)

5. Start the pump. Water should be produced in 10 minutes or less. The time depends on the depth to the water (not more than 20 ft.

(6 m)) and length of horizontal run (10 ft. (3 m)) of horizontal suction pipe = 1 ft. ((30.5 cm) of vertical lift due to friction losses in

pipe). If no water is produced within 10 minutes, stop the pump, release all pressure, remove the priming plug, refill, and try again.
