WFS 1545 Operations Manual 

The power wires attach to the three lugs provided on the top of the distribution bus bar. The 
ground wire must be attached to the grounding terminal to the left of the bus bar. See Figure 8.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS 

There are three (3) facility plumbing connections to the WFS Unit. 

 

 

Make-up Water 1” NPT 

 

Process Cooling Supply  1” NPT 

 

Process Cooling Return  1-1/4” NPT 

The connection for the Process Cooling Supply is 1” NPT. This provides 
water filtered and cooled by refrigeration to cool the cutting, grinding 
or dicing process. This process is normally “open-loop”. Therefore, 
a separate “Lift Station” is required to return the water back to 
the WFS.  The customer is responsible to collect and direct the 
process water to the lift station pump.

 

The connection for the Process Cooling Return is 1-1/4” NPT. This 
connection directs return water from the Lift Station back to the 
reservoir. 

The connection for the Make-Up Water is 1” NPT. The water source can 
be provided from clean ordinary tap water.  

i.

 

LIFT STATION INSTALLATION 

The inlet to the Lift Station (LS) is gravity fed from used process water and therefore must be 
mounted at a lower elevation than the process water collection point 
 
The LS has two available inlet ports: one on top and the other on the side. Either can be used 
and the unused one plugged. The port is a 2” NPT. 
 
A True Union check valve is provided with the LS. This should be installed on the discharge line 
as close to the unit as possible.  The check valve arrow should be pointing up.    
 

NOTE:

 

Leave enough wire in the event that two legs 

need to be switched. If motor rotation is in wrong 
direction switch wires here or at source.  

DO NOT

 

switch leads after the circuit breakers
