INSTALLATION
Waterboy pumping systems are designed with simplicity in mind, to provide as trouble free an
installation as possible.
When purchased as part of a complete package it is recommended that the solar array frame
and panels be assembled prior to any pump work
(see Array Frame Manual for details).
A complete package will also have the controller and any remote switching devices pre wired
for your convenience.
1. Lay the pump close to the water source and unroll the power and low water probe (if
supplied) cables to length.
2. Lay the pipe out along the pump cable ensuring that no stones, dirt or gravel can enter
(It is very important that you don’t kink or bend the pipe as this can result splitting
when under pressure).
3. Connect the pump to the delivery pipe (and bore cap if used).
4. Align the low water probe no less than 300mm above the pump water inlet level and
secure to the pipe
(see Bore)
or post
(see Dam)
in a vertical position, with the cable out
the top, using the 3 small cable ties supplied.
5. Secure the power cable and probe cable to the delivery pipe every 2 meters with a
strong tape (such as duct tape) to prevent snarling of cable. Be sure to leave some
slack between each section of tape as this will allow for the pipe to stretch.
Bore
– when installing in a bore or suspending in a well you will need to use a strainer or suspension
wire for hanging the pump (we supply a 3mm 316 stainless steel cable with all our bore systems).
Connect the safety support cable to the bore cap and secure to the pump prior to positioning in the
bore or well.
Probe: Attach the low water probe to the delivery pipe no less than 300mm above the pump water
inlet in a vertical position, with the cable out the top, using the 3 small cable ties supplied.
The combination of the pump, pipe, cable, probes and safety cable can now be carefully lowered into
the bore taking care not to cut or chafe the cable insulation on the bore casing.
*DO NOT SUSPEND THE PUMP BY THE ELECTRICAL CABLES OR PIPING*
Lower the pump into the bore slowly without force to approximately 3 metres below the minimum
water level and if possible no less than 1 metre from the bottom of the bore. Pull on the bore pump
support cable so that most of the weight of the pump is on the cable and then remove any slack and
fasten it.
