PUMP PRIMING&STARTUP
CAUTION: Risk of burns. Never run pump dry. Running pump without water may cause pump to overheat, damaging
seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
WARNING: Risk of explosion and scalding. Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside
pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.
1. Remove the priming plug or tee from the pump and fill
the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well,
and make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you
have also installed a priming tee in the suction piping,
remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.
(Fig. 1)
2. Replace all fill plugs, Open the faucet closest to the pump/tank a small amount to allow air to escape the system.
3. Power on! Start the pump.
4. If you don't have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the pump and piping. You
may have to repeat this several times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping.
5. After the pump begins building pressure in the system, shut the faucet off. Let the pump build pressure until it shuts
off. Check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off
pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure
reaches50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help
clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
If you were unsuccessful, please refer to Troubleshooting or call our customer service technical staff.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect power and release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or
perform any maintenance.
Winterizing
CAUTION: Drain the entire system if there is danger of
freezing. A drain plug is provided at the bottom of the pump
case for this purpose
Drain openings are provided on all models to drain the
pump:
Unplug the pump from power supply outlet.

Remove drain plug close to the inlet hole.

Drain all piping to a point below the freeze line. This will

drain the pump.
NOTE: While this will drain the pump, it will not necessarily drain all the unprotected parts of the piping system. To drain
tank, disconnect the piping at the tank outlet.
SEAL ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Make certain that the power supply is disconnected before attempting to service the unit! The rotary
seal assembly must be handled carefully to avoid damaging the precision lapped faces of the sealing
components.
1. Disengage pump body (Ref. No. 1) (Include diffuser 4.venturi 3) from motor mounting ring (Ref. No. 8).
2. Remove the rear cover(Ref. No. 11) .Remove the impeller(Ref. No. 5) use a 9/16" open end wrench to hold the motor
shaft.
3. The rotary seal (Ref. No. 6) will come loose at this time. Use a screwdriver (or similar instrument) to pry the silicon
carbide seal from the recess of the Seal plate (Ref. No. 7). Be careful not to damage the motor shaft or recess
surface.
4. Clean the recess and motor shaft thoroughly.
