Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your submersible pump. Follow these steps carefully:
- Pre-Installation Check:
- Verify that your well casing diameter is at least 4 inches to accommodate the pump.
- Ensure your power supply matches the pump's requirements (115V, 60Hz).
- Inspect the pump for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping.
- Connecting Discharge Pipe:
- Attach a suitable discharge pipe (1-1/4" NPT) to the pump's outlet. Use appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) to ensure a watertight and leak-free connection.

This image shows the 1-1/4 inch NPT discharge port on the pump, along with an example of an external check valve and adapter for connection. An external check valve is recommended to prevent backflow and protect the pump.
- Installing Additional Check Valve (Recommended):
- Although the pump has a built-in check valve, installing an additional external check valve in the discharge line, typically above the pump, is highly recommended. This provides extra protection against water backflow and reduces wear on the pump.
- Securing the Pump:
- Attach a strong safety rope or cable to the pump's designated lifting eye. This rope is essential for safely lowering and retrieving the pump from the well. Do not rely solely on the power cable for support.
- Lowering the Pump:
- Carefully lower the pump into the well using the safety rope. Ensure the pump remains fully submerged below the water level at all times during operation. Avoid dropping the pump or allowing it to hit the bottom of the well forcefully.

- Electrical Connection:
- The pump comes equipped with a 33-foot electric cord. Connect this cord to a properly grounded 115V, 60Hz power source. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and protected from moisture.
- The built-in control box provides essential thermal, short-circuit, and overload protection, eliminating the need for an external control box.

Operating Instructions
Follow these guidelines for proper operation of your iMeshbean submersible pump:
- Initial Start-up:
- Once the pump is fully installed and submerged in the well, connect it to the appropriate power supply.
- The pump will begin to draw water. Allow it to run for a few minutes to purge any air from the system and ensure a steady flow.
- Continuous Operation:
- The pump is designed for continuous operation as long as it remains fully submerged and the water level in the well is adequate.
- Monitor water flow and pressure periodically to ensure optimal performance.
- Shutting Down:
- To turn off the pump, simply disconnect it from the power supply.
- Avoid frequent on/off cycles, as this can reduce the lifespan of the pump motor.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your pump.
- Regular Inspection:
- Periodically check the pump's performance and water output. Any significant decrease may indicate an issue.
- Inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, fraying, or wear. Replace if necessary.
- Cleaning the Intake Screen:
- If the pump's performance decreases, it may be due to debris clogging the intake screen. Disconnect power, carefully retrieve the pump from the well, and thoroughly clean the stainless steel intake screen.

This image provides a detailed view of the stainless steel strainer, which protects the pump from large debris. Regular cleaning of this strainer is essential for maintaining pump efficiency.
- Winterization (if applicable):
- In regions with freezing temperatures, if the pump is not in continuous use, it should be removed from the well and stored in a frost-free location to prevent damage from freezing water.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your pump, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump Not Starting | No power supply, tripped circuit breaker, faulty wiring, internal protection tripped. | Check power connections. Reset circuit breaker/fuse. Inspect wiring for damage. Allow pump to cool if thermal protection tripped. |
| Low Water Flow/Pressure | Clogged intake screen, low water level in well, leak in discharge piping, worn impellers. | Disconnect power, retrieve and clean intake screen. Ensure pump is fully submerged. Check for and repair leaks. Contact support if impellers are suspected. |
| Pump Runs Continuously | Leak in the system, faulty check valve, pump not reaching shut-off pressure (if pressure switch is used). | Inspect entire water system for leaks. Check the built-in and any external check valves. Ensure proper pressure switch settings if applicable. |
| Pump Cycles On/Off Frequently | Low water level in well (pump running dry), small leak in system, faulty pressure tank (if used), faulty pressure switch. | Check well water level. Inspect for small leaks. Check pressure tank and pressure switch if part of your system. |
| No Water Output | Pump not primed (air in line), severe clog, pump running dry, discharge pipe blocked. | Ensure pump is fully submerged. Check for and clear any blockages in the intake or discharge line. |
