GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION

Typical Pump Setup
Typical setups for lawn sprinkler pump systems
include ground water wells (Fig. 1) or surface
water, such as lakes, ponds, or streams. (Fig. 3)
Location
For best performance, the pump must be
located as close to the water source as possible
and protected from the elements.
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 in
section: SPECIFICATIONS.
WARNING: NEVER run pump against a
closed discharge. Doing so can boil water inside
pump causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of
explosion and possibly scald persons handling
pump. (Fig. 2)
Vertical Lift
Vertical 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 inlet and the
water source. This distance may affect the ability
of the pump to operate. If it is over 60 feet, call
customer service at 1-800-584-8089.
