4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your pump. Follow these general guidelines:
- Mounting: The pump can be mounted in any position. Secure it to a stable surface using appropriate fasteners. Ensure adequate ventilation around the motor.
- Inlet/Outlet Connections: Connect the inlet port to your water source and the outlet port to your delivery system using compatible 1/2" -14 Male Parallel threaded fittings. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the pump to a 115 VAC, 60 Hz power supply. Always use a properly grounded receptacle to prevent electrical shock. The pump is thermally protected.
- System Priming: Before initial operation, ensure the pump and inlet line are filled with water to facilitate self-priming.
5. Operating Instructions
The SHURFLO 8005-733-155 is a demand pump, meaning it operates automatically based on system pressure.
- Initial Start-up: Once installed and connected, turn on the power supply to the pump. Open a faucet or valve in your delivery system to allow air to escape and water to flow. The pump will begin to operate, drawing water and building pressure.
- Automatic Operation: When the faucet or valve is closed, the pump will build pressure to its maximum switch pressure (60 PSI) and then automatically shut off. When a faucet or valve is opened, the pressure drops, and the pump will automatically restart.
- Dry Running: The pump is designed to run dry without damage, but continuous dry running should be avoided if possible to conserve energy and extend pump life.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient performance of your SHURFLO pump.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all connections for leaks and ensure the mounting is secure. Check electrical wiring for any signs of wear or damage.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free from debris. Do not use harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic components.
- Winterization (if applicable): If the pump is used in an environment where freezing temperatures may occur, ensure it is properly drained or protected from freezing to prevent damage.
7. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for common issues and their potential solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not run. | No power, loose wiring, blown fuse, motor issue. | Check power supply, ensure connections are secure, inspect fuse, contact support if motor is faulty. |
| Low flow or no pressure. | Air in system, clogged inlet filter, kinked hose, worn diaphragm. | Bleed air from system, clean inlet filter, straighten hoses, inspect and replace diaphragm if necessary. |
| Pump cycles on and off rapidly. | Small leak in system, restricted flow, pressure switch issue. | Check for leaks, ensure clear flow path, contact support for pressure switch diagnosis. |
| Excessive noise. | Loose mounting, cavitation (air in system), worn bearings. | Secure mounting, bleed air, contact support for internal component issues. |
