Pre-Installation
BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully examine the pump and all parts to ensure no parts are damaged. If any part of the pump appears to be damaged, do not use this
pump and contact the Customer Service Team at 1-844-883-1872.
INTENDED USE
This is a submersible sump pump for use in basins or lift stations and suitable for pumping liquids with up to 1/2 in. spherical solids.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This pump is provided with an on/off float switch for automatic operation. Refer to the Installation instructions included with switches and
controllers for installation.
Care should be taken to prevent the pump from running in a dry sump.
The pump must be installed in a suitable gas-tight basin which is a minimum of 18 in. in diameter and a minimum of 22 in. deep and vented
in accordance with local plumbing codes.
The pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces.
The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene or galvanized steel pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipe to the
pump.
Always install a union in the discharge line, just above the sump pit, to allow for easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.
A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent back flow of liquid into the basin. The check valve should be a free flow valve
that will easily pass solids.
CAUTION:
For best performance of check valves when handling solids, install in a horizontal position or at an angle of not more than 45°.
Do not install a check valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in the valve and prevent opening during start-up.
When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole 3/16 in. in diameter in the discharge pipe. This hole should be located below the floor line
between the pump discharge and the check valve. Unless such a relief hole is provided, the pump could “air-lock” and will not pump water
even though it will run.
A gate valve should follow the check valve to allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or removal of the pump.
The remainder of the discharge line should be as short as possible with a minimum of turns to minimize friction head loss. Do not restrict
the discharge to sizes below 2 in..
Sewage and effluent applications will require a separate sump vent. A connection is provided on top of the sump or cover which must be
piped to the existing building vent or extended outside with its own standpipe.
