1                               Assembly / Installation

The pump can be operated either vertically or horizontally

(for horizontal position only with a cooling-shroud).

5.1

Assembly

• The bore-holes or pump stations must be created/

arranged in accordance with the generally applicable

technical rules.

• Please ensure that the flow of water in the bore-hole or

well is sufficient for the capacity of the pump.

• Ensure that the pump never runs dry and make sure that

even in dry periods the water level never falls below the

pump’s check valve (uppermost position).

In the case of installation in a deep well (well shaft diameter

greater than a bore-hole), a reservoir, horizontal installation

or in a deep well, a cooling-shroud (accessory) must be 

fitted to the unit to ensure the motor is properly cooled (fig. 

2, pos.

A).

• It must be ensured that the well shaft in the bore-hole

has a constant internal diameter to allow the pump to be

lowered freely for the entire depth of the shaft.

• Never raise or lower the pump by the electric cable.

• The electrical connection and extension of the motor

cable must take place before the pump is lowered and be

tested/measured to ensure they are working.

• The final installation position must be guaranteed such

that the pump sits at least 1 foot above the bottom of

the bore-hole or well (fig. 1).

• The rating plate must be affixed in the immediate vicinity

of the well head to allow access at all times to the unit’s

technical data.

• Before lowering (and while lowering in deep bore-holes)

the insulation resistance of

• The motor and cable must be measured several times

(min. 2 M).

5.2

Hydraulic connections (see fig. 1)

• Connections to pipes. 1” through 6” depending on size

of pump. In the case of larger types (8” / 10”), the pump

is only connected directly to the pipework.

• It is recommended that a check valve be fitted every

200 Feet to the surface of the borehole.

ATTENTION!

5.3

Electrical Connection

Electrical work must be carried out by a qualified contractor

strict compliance with local regulations.

The maximum cable length depends on the nominal motor

current and the permissible drop in voltage over the entire

cable length. Consult motor manufacturer’s documentation

for more information.

A faulty electrical connection will result in damage to the

motor.

6                               Operation

6.1

Controlling the direction of rotation in 3-phase

installations:

To determine the correct direction of rotation for the pump,

only the shutoff pressure at the well head needs to be

checked, taking into account that the correct motor 

direction of rotation generates the greater pressure.

• To rectify an incorrect direction of rotation swap any

two phases in the switchbox or motor protection switch.

See motor manufacturer’s documentation for more

information.

6.2

Operation

The pump must never run while dry, not even for brief

periods.

7                               Maintenance

Before carrying out any maintenance work, switch off the

pump and ensure that it cannot be switched on again by

unauthorized people. Never carry out work on a running

pump.

No special maintenance is required during normal operation.

7.1

Spare parts

Please contact Wilo Customer Service directly for spare 

parts, standard replacements or repairs to the hydraulic 

pump parts.
