Typical Pump Setup

Typical setups for lawn sprinkler pump systems 

include ground water wells (

Fig. 1

) or surface 

water, such as lakes, ponds or streams. (

Fig. 3

)

Location

For best performance, the pump must be located 

as close to the water source as possible and 

protected from the elements.

Ventilation

Ventilation and drainage must be provided to 

prevent damage to the motor from heat and 

moisture.

Freezing

The pump and all piping must be protected from 

freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain 

pump or remove completely from the sprinkler 

system.

Water Supply

The water source must be able to supply enough 

water to satisfy the capacity of the pump and 

water needs. See performance chart. 

  WARNING:

 NEVER run pump against a 

closed discharge. Doing so can boil water inside 

pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk 

of explosion and possibly scalding persons 

handling pump. (

Fig. 2

)

Vertical Lift

Vertical lift is the vertical distance from the lowest 

level of the water to the pump intake. The pump 

will move water as long as the pump is within 25 

vertical feet of the water source.

Horizontal Distance

The horizontal distance is the horizontal 

measurement between the pump inlet and the 

water source. This distance may affect the ability 

of the pump to operate. If it is over 60 feet, call 

customer service at 1-866-544-1406.

Pipe And Fittings

Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule 40 

PVC pipe and fittings. This material is designed 

for water pressure and will seal against air 

and water under pressure. Do Not Use: DWV 

fittings, as these are designed for drains without 

pressure and will not seal properly.

  CAUTION:  

The entire system must be 

air and water tight for efficient operation and to 

maintain prime.

Wire Size:

The wire size is determined by the distance from 

the breaker box to the pump motor, and the 

horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire chart 

for proper wire size.
