Do’s And Don’ts For Installing A Unit
1. DO read all installation materials supplied with the pump.
2. DO inspect unit for any visible damage caused by shipping.
Contact dealer if unit appears to be damaged.
3. DO clean all debris from the pit before installation.
4. DO install a union check valve (see STEP 3) in the
discharge line. DO NOT use a discharge pipe smaller than
the recommended pump discharge sizes.
5. DO install a filter or strainer in the water supply line before the
pump to prevent small particles from clogging the operating
valve.
6. DO test the pump immediately after installation to be sure
that the system is working properly.
7. DO review all applicable local and national codes and verify
that the installation conforms to each of them.
8. DO NOT use the Home Guard
®
Max with hot water.
DO NOT use the Home Guard
®
Max to remove wastewater,
sewage, effluent, or water with debris in it.
9. DO NOT use a garden hose. Garden hose is not designed
to hold municipal pressure indefinitely and could leak or
burst causing flooding. The Home Guard
®
Max requires a
permanent piping method such as copper, PEX, or CPVC.
10. DO install the Home Guard
®
Max pump with only a ¾"
supply line.
11. DO install a union or other quick-disconnect fitting to make
the pump accessible for servicing on both the water supply
and discharge piping.
12. DO install a dedicated shut-off valve on the water supply line
within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the Home Guard
®
Max.
Helpful Hints For Easy Installation
1. The system is designed for installation in sumps with minimum
diameter of 18” and depth of 22”. For smaller applications,
consult factory.
2. Remove all debris from the pit before installation.
3. Be sure that the pump is clamped securely to the primary
pump discharge pipe and that the two pumps do not interfere
with each other.
4. Install a serviceable check valve in the discharge line.
5. Install a filter or strainer in the water supply line before the
pump. Size the filter/strainer properly to minimize pressure
drop, while retaining particles 0.020" (0.5 mm) in diameter
and larger.
6. Test the unit immediately after installation. Refer to STEP 5.
7. Check the Float ON/OFF levels per STEP 2 of the instructions.
8. Keep the model number, date code, and installation
instructions in a convenient location for future reference.
