Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual
or on pump.
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol
on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the following
signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury!
DANGER warns about hazards that will cause seri-
ous personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
WARNING warns about hazards that can cause
serious personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
CAUTION warns about hazards that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which are impor-
tant but not related to hazards.
To avoid serious or fatal personal injury and possible property
damage, carefully read and follow the safety instructions.
1. Under certain conditions, submersible pumps
can develop extremely high pressure. Install a
pressure relief valve capable of passing entire
pump flow at 75 PSI (517kPa) when using an
air over water pressure tank. Install a pressure relief valve
capable of passing entire pump flow at 100 PSI (690 kPa)
when using a pre-charged pressure tank.
Do not allow pump, pressure tank, piping, or any other
system component containing water to freeze. Freezing
may damage system, leading to injury or flooding. Allowing
pump or system components to freeze will void warranty.
2. Can shock, burn or cause death. To avoid
dangerous or fatal electric shock hazard, use
Hazardous
pump only in a water well.
voltage
Risk of dangerous or fatal electrical shock. Do
not install this pump in any pond, river, or other open body of water
that could be used for swimming or recreation. Do not swim, wade
or play in a body of water in which a submersible pump has been
installed.
Install, ground and wire pump according to local and Cana-
dian Electrical Code or National Electrical Code requirements
that apply.
Disconnect electrical power supply before installing or servic-
ing pump.
Make sure line voltage and frequency of power supply match
motor nameplate voltage and frequency.
3. Install pump according to all plumbing, pump and well code
requirements.
4. Test well water for purity before using well. Call your local health
department for testing procedure.
5. During installation, keep well covered to prevent leaves and for-
eign matter from falling into well. Foreign objects in well can con-
taminate water and cause serious mechanical damage to pump.
6. Pipe joint compound can cause cracking in plastics. Use only
teflon tape when sealing joints in plastic pipe or connecting pipe
to thermoplastic pumps.
PRE-INSTALLATION
Inspect pump and motor for delivery damage. Report any damage
immediately to shipping carrier or to your dealer.
Well driller should thoroughly develop well (pump out all fine sand
and foreign matter) before pump is installed. (See Initial Startup).
Pump performance is based on pumping clear, cold water with no
entrained air.
Warranty is void in the following conditions:
• Pump has pumped excessive sand which can cause premature
wear to pump. (See Initial Startup)
• Water is corrosive.
• If entrained gas or air present in water being pumped, reduce flow
and cause cavitation which can damage pump.
• Pump has been operated with discharge valve closed – severe
internal damage will result.
Install pump at least 15 to 20' (4.6 - 6.1M) below the lowest water
level reached with pump running (lowest draw-down water level),
and at least 5' (1.5M) above bottom of well.
ELECTRICAL
WIRING/GROUNDING
Can shock, burn, or cause death.
Hazardous
voltage
Permanently ground pump, motor
and control box before connecting
power supply to motor.
Ground pump and motor in accordance with all codes and ordi-
nances that apply. Use copper ground wire at least as large as
wires carrying current to motor.
Motor is supplied with copper ground wire. Splice to copper conduc-
tor that matches motor wire size specified in Table 3. See "cable
splicing" under Installation.
Permanently ground pump, motor and control box before connecting
power cable to power supply. Connect ground wire to approved
ground first, then connect to equipment being installed.
Do not ground to gas supply line.
Fire and electrical shock hazard. If using a power
supply wire larger than No. 10 (5mm
wire) between pump and control box, run wire to separate junction
box. Connect junction box to control box with a No. 10 (5mm
For more information, contact your local code officials.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
All wiring must meet Canadian Electrical Code or National Electrical
Code and local code requirements.
Use only copper wire for connections to pump and control box.
To avoid over-heating wire and excessive voltage drop at motor, be
sure wire size is at least as large as size listed in Table 3 for your
horsepower pump and length of wire run.
NOTICE: See Installation Wiring Diagrams for typical wiring hook-
ups and control box identification.
