INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a WATERBOY solar water pumping solution.
Waterboy sets the standard for quality and economy in solar powered water pumping, utilising the
very best technologies available today.
When sizing or expanding on your existing system, it is important to understand the performance
limitations of your pump, and the source to destination details required in choosing the right pump
for your job.
Please visit our website for sizing details and performance information of our products when
considering your next pump.

Please fill in the System Report Form. This contains the most essential information so you can easily
communicate with our support team if any problems occur. It must be completed and returned to
activate your warranty.
Information and limitations to consider before proceeding

NEVER EXCEED OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE RATING (Voc) OF THE CONTROLLER.
(p11)

Ensure correct motor wiring by observing the corresponding numbers labeled. Any
incorrect wiring will cause the pump to run backwards and damage the pump.
(p8)

Do not set the pump on the bottom of the bore or in / near mud and debris.

Do not exceed a maximum submersion depth of 40m at any time.

Make sure there is a non-return valve included in the line.

Do not allow the pump to run dry at any time.

Always use the stainless steel cable to raise or lower the pump assembly
. (p4)

The low water sensor (when used) must be installed a minimum of 300mm above
the water inlet of the pump.
(p4)

Do not use the pump to clean out a dirty bore.

A solids concentration of greater than 0.1% by volume may cause a significant
reduction in flow and/or blockage. This will void your warranty.

These pumps are designed for use with potable water only, at a water temperature
below 30⁰c.

Do not screw any fittings too far into the pump as this can restrict the pump stator.

Avoid water locking
(p21)

Do not pump dirty / muddy water / sandy water, this will void your warranty.
CORROSIVE WATER
Although the pumps are made of 316 stainless steel, harsh water can cause corrosion of the pump
body and parts. This may be a function of the chemical make-up of the water or stray voltage in the
water (often from stock fences that may be quite far from the pump site). If this is found to be a
problem in your application, the use of a sacrificial anode is recommended.
