INSTALLATION MANUAL

Effluent Pump in
Septic Tank
1. This installation must be in accordance with the National
Electric Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
2. Clean the basin of all debris.
3. Set the pump on a solid, level surface. Do not place pump
directly on clay, earth, gravel, or sand. A brick or block may
be installed under the pump to provide a solid base.
4. Verify the float switch has at least 1 inch clearance to
the side wall of the basin and is free of any possible
obstructions.
5. If optional control device or float is used, follow mounting
instructions supplied with device or float.
6. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional and
state codes. Do not reduce the discharge pipe size below
that which is provided on the pump.
7. Install a union to allow easy removal of the pump for
cleaning and service.
8. Install a check valve (required) to prevent back-flow. It
should be installed above the union.
9. A gate valve or ball valve should be installed above the
check valve as required by local, regional or state codes.
10. Connect remaining discharge pipe. The remainder of
the discharge line should be as short as possible with a
minimum number of turns.
11. Secure power supply cord to discharge pipe using cable or
zip ties to prevent possible switch entanglement.
12. Connect pump power supply cord to a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) receptacle.
13. Fill the basin with water. The pump will start when the water
level has reached the switch-on level. Verify the pump is
operating normally. If the discharge line is exposed to freezing
temperatures, the pipe must be positioned in a downward
slope away from the foundation so any remaining water will
drain away and not freeze.
14. Secure a basin/tank cover and gasket to the basin to prevent
debris from falling into the basin, prevent personal injury, and to
contain gases and/or odors.
