PERFORMANCE

Your pump is designed to effectively pump all clear storm and drain 

waters. Although it will usually pass small particles suspended in 

water; grass, heavy mud, sand or pea gravel can clog the pump 

and reduce pump performance. This can usually be cleaned out by 

backflushing with a garden hose through the discharge. The normal 

performance that can be expected is as follows:

HP

GALLONS PER HOUR AT 

DISCHARGE HEIGHT ABOVE 

PUMPING LEVEL

10 Ft.

PREINSTALLATION  CHECKLIST  -  ALL  INSTALLATIONS

 

1.  Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before 

using. DO NOT remove the test plug in the cover.

2.  Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials 

should be retained for future reference.

1.  Make sure there is a properly installed ground fault circuit 

interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit available.  All pumps are 

furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect you 

against the possibility of electrical shock.

2.  Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach 

of the pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION 

CORD.  Extension cords that are too long or too light do not 

deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor.  But, more important, 

they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to 

become damaged or the connection ends were to fall into water.

3.  Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with 

fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity.  A separate branch 

circuit is recommended, sized according the National Electrical 

Code for the current shown on the pump name plate.

4.  TESTING FOR GROUND. As a safety measure, each electrical 

outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters 

Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power, 

neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If 

they are not, call a qualified licensed electrician.          

5.  Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware 

should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

6.  FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP 

FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.

7.  These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help 

protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.  DO NOT 

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND 

PIN.  The 3-prong plug must be inserted in a mating 3-prong 

fault interrupter receptacle.  If the installation does not have such 

a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired, and 

grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all 

applicable local codes and ordinances.

8.  Risk of electric shock. This pump has not been tested for use in 

swimming pool or marine areas.

9.  According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product 

contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause 

cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
