GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION

TYPICAL PUMP SETUP
Typical setups for lawn sprinkler pump systems
include ground water wells (Fig. 4) or surface water,
such as lakes, ponds or streams. (Fig. 5)
LOCATION
For best performance, the pump should be located as
close to the water source as possible.
VENTILATION
Ventilation and drainage must be provided to prevent
damage to the motor from heat and moisture.
FREEZING
The pump and all piping must be protected from
freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain pump or
remove completely from the sprinkler system.
WATER SUPPLY
The water source must be able to supply enough
water to satisfy the capacity of the pump and water
needs. See performance chart on page 13.
SUCTION LIFT
Suction lift is the vertical distance from the lowest
level of the water to the pump intake. The pump will
move water as long as the pump is within 25 vertical
feet of the water source.
HORIZONTAL DISTANCE
The horizontal distance is the horizontal measurement
between the pump suction and the water source.
This distance may affect the ability of the pump to
operate. If it is over 150 feet, call the manufacturer for
assistance at 1-800-742-5044.
PIPE AND FITTINGS
Use galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule 40 PVC
pipe and fittings. This material is designed for water
pressure and will seal against air and water under
pressure. Do Not Use: DWV fittings, as these are
designed for drains without pressure and will not seal
properly.
CAUTION: The entire system must be air and
water tight for efficient operation and to maintain
prime.
WIRE SIZE:
The wire size is determined by the distance from the
breaker box to the pump motor, and the horsepower
rating of the motor. See the wire chart on page 13 for
proper wire size.
