Preinstallation Information
1. Inspect your unit. Occasionally, products are damaged during ship ment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer be fore using.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to fa mil iar ize your self with spe cif ic details re gard ing in stal la tion and use. These ma te ri als should be retained for future ref er ence.
3. “Risk of electrical shock” Do not re move power supply cord and strain relief or connect conduit directly
4 . to the pump. In stal la tion and check ing of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by a qualifi ed and li censed electrician.
Do not lift, carry, or hang pump by the elec tri cal ca bles. Dam age to the electrical cables can cause shock, burns or death.
5. For your protection, make cer tain the pump ground wire is properly connected to the ground
wire with the incoming power line. Test for ground at the junc tion box using an Un der writ ers Lab o ra to ry list ed cir cuit an a lyz er which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are cor rect ly con nect ed. If in doubt, call a qual i fi ed li censed elec tri cian.
6. Make cer tain that the receptacle is with in the reach of the pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT USE
AN EX TEN SION CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not de liv er suffi cient voltage to the pump motor. But, more im por tant, they could present a safe ty haz ard if the in su la tion were to become damaged or the connection end were to get wet.
7. Make sure the pump elec tri cal sup ply cir cuit is equipped with fus es or cir cuit break ers of prop er
ca pac i ty. A sep a rate branch circuit is rec om mend ed, and
8. sized ac cord ing to the “Na tion al Elec tri cal Code” for the cur rent shown on the pump nameplate.
DO NOT run the pump dry. DO NOT run the pump with a completely closed discharge. DO NOT pump chem i cal or cor ro sive liquids. Failure to follow above warnings could result in damage to the pump, void ing the warranty and causing personal injury.
9. Check to be sure your pow er source is ca pa ble of handling the volt age re quire ments of the motor, as in di cat ed on the pump name plate.
10. The installation of pumps using auxiliary variable level fl oat switch es
11. is the responsibility of the in stall ing party. Care should be taken such that the tethered fl oat switch will not hang up and are secured so that the pump will turn on and off properly.
Water ham mer creates momentary high pres sure surges. These surges can cause severe dam age to check valves and the piping system. Consideration for water ham mer must be included in the piping sys tem design. Reference ASPE Data Book,
Chapter 2.33. Some systems may re quire ex ter nal spring or lever
12. weight ed check valves or other en gi neered solutions.
In cold climates the discharge pipe may be subject to freez ing. If the riser on the septic tank is above the frost line, it will be necessary to protect the system from freeze up. The discharge
13. pipe can be insulated or the check valve can be removed. If the check valve is removed, the “on-off” cycle must be adjusted for any back-fl ow from the dis charge line.
According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Major Components
1. Submersible Effl uent Turbine Pump - A submersible ef fl u ent tur bine pump is a multistage centrifugal design pump. Each stage con sists of an impeller and diffuser. Water pres sure in creas es in equal amounts as it passes from stage to stage. The more stag es, the higher the pressure the pump will de vel op.
switch es can result in failure of the pump and void the warranty.
A minimum of two float switches should be used in each ap pli ca tion:
• A pump control fl oat switch
• A high water alarm fl oat switch
To correctly select a pump for a specifi c application, the fol low ing information must be known:
• The amount of discharge required in GPM or LPM
• The total dynamic head required in feet or meters
Use this information along with the performance data found on the previous page to make your selection.
4. Piping - The submersible effl uent turbine pump can be in stalled with schedule 40 PVC pipe. The pipe size should be 1¼” diameter for the 11 GPM to 27 GPM pump series and 2” diameter for the 35
GPM pump series.
2. Control Panel - Submersible effl uent turbine pumps re quire the use of an above ground control panel or junction box with a pump control switch for proper op er a tion. Op er a tion of these pumps without a control pan el or junction box with a pump control switch can result in failure of the pump and void the war ran ty.
General piping from the pump to a splitter, distribution box, drain fi eld etc., should be the same diameter as stat ed above. For long pipe runs consult friction loss tables for correct pipe sizing.
5. Check Valve - A check valve is required in all duplex sys tems. It is also required when a large amount of effl uent can backfl ush into the system causing rapid cycling of the pump.
3. Float Switches - All submersible effl uent turbine pumps are non au to mat ic. The use of fl oat switches are required for the proper operation of the pump. Operation of these pumps without fl oat
A 1/8” weep hole must be drilled in the side of the discharge head when using a check valve (see drawing below for drill location).

Pump Installation and Wiring Diagram
where relatively clear effl uent, such as from a dos ing tank or high head STEP system etc., is being pumped.
8. An alarm should be used with any system using a pump. Follow the wiring diagram with the alarm for installation and check your local codes.
2. Pumps should always be installed vertically. Pumps should never be installed horizontally.
3. Because of their low temperature rise, pumps under 2 HP do not require a fl ow inducer sleeve.
4. Mount the junction box in its permanent position.
10. To provide a suitable ground, a separate ground wire (green or bare) at least as large as the line conductors is required. It is connected from the electrical disconnect box to the con trol panel, to the junction box and to the green ground wire of the submersible motor lead.
5. Run prewired conduit, or equivalent submersible cable from the junc tion box to a fused disconnect or, if applicable, the control panel.
11. Always disconnect all power when installing or ser vic ing the pump.
6. Feed the pump power cord and fl oat switch cords into the junc tion box.
9. Run the appropriate power to the control panel from a fused (cir cuit breaker) disconnect. The appropriate power supply in for ma tion may be found on the pump nameplate.
7. Make the connections in the junction box using the wiring di a grams below. If you are using a con trol panel or a fi ltered STEP system, follow the wiring di a grams and in struc tions included with them.
