Safety Instructions
Always observe the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
- Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply matches the pump's voltage (220-240V~50Hz). Always connect the pump to a properly grounded outlet. Do not operate the pump with a damaged cord or plug.
- Water Safety: Do not pump flammable or corrosive liquids. Ensure the pump is not submerged unless specifically designed for submersible use. Protect the pump from freezing temperatures.
- Installation: Install the pump in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and rain. Ensure stable mounting to prevent vibration.
- Maintenance: Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or repairs. Only qualified personnel should perform repairs.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the pump during operation.

Setup
1. Placement
- Choose a flat, stable, and dry location for the pump, protected from direct weather exposure.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the pump.
- Position the pump as close as possible to the water source to minimize suction lift.
2. Pipe Connection
- Suction Pipe: Connect a rigid pipe of 1" diameter to the suction inlet. Ensure the suction pipe is airtight to prevent air leaks, which can affect priming and pump performance. Install a foot valve with a strainer at the end of the suction pipe in the water source to prevent debris from entering the pump and to maintain prime.
- Discharge Pipe: Connect a 1" diameter pipe to the discharge outlet. The included stainless steel hose and brass 3-way connector should be used for the pressure tank and pressure gauge connection.
- Use thread sealant tape on all threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.
3. Electrical Connection
- Ensure the power supply is 220-240V~50Hz.
- Connect the pump to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet.
- Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary, and if so, ensure they are rated for outdoor use and the pump's power requirements.
4. Priming the Pump
- Before first use, or if the pump has run dry, it must be primed.
- Locate the priming plug on the top of the pump casing.
- Remove the priming plug and slowly fill the pump casing with clean water until it overflows.
- Replace the priming plug securely.
- Ensure the discharge valve is open before starting the pump.
Operating Instructions
1. Starting the Pump
- Ensure the pump is properly primed (see Setup section).
- Verify all connections are secure and leak-free.
- Plug the pump into the grounded electrical outlet. The pump will start automatically when pressure drops below the set point of the pressure switch.
2. Monitoring Operation
- Observe the pressure gauge to ensure the system is operating within expected pressure ranges.
- Listen for unusual noises or vibrations, which may indicate a problem.
- Check for any leaks around connections.
3. Shutting Down
- To stop the pump, simply unplug it from the power source. The automatic pressure switch will also stop the pump when the desired pressure is reached.
- For extended periods of non-use, especially in freezing conditions, drain the pump and pipes completely to prevent damage.
Maintenance
1. Regular Checks
- Periodically inspect the pump and all connections for signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
- Check the pressure tank's air charge annually. Refer to the tank's specific instructions for proper air pressure.
- Ensure the foot valve strainer is clear of debris.
2. Cleaning
- Keep the pump exterior clean and free of dust and dirt to ensure proper cooling.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
3. Winterization (for cold climates)
- If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures, it must be drained completely to prevent damage from ice expansion.
- Disconnect power, open all drain plugs, and remove the priming plug to allow all water to escape.
- Store the pump in a warm, dry place if possible.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | No power; tripped circuit breaker; faulty motor. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Consult a qualified electrician if motor is suspected faulty. |
| Pump runs but no water flows | Pump not primed; air leak in suction line; clogged foot valve/strainer; low water level in source. | Re-prime the pump. Check all suction connections for leaks. Clean foot valve strainer. Ensure adequate water in source. |
| Low pressure or flow | Partial air leak; clogged impeller; worn components; incorrect pipe size. | Check suction line for small leaks. Inspect and clean impeller. Consult service for worn parts. Ensure correct pipe diameter. |
| Pump cycles too frequently | Pressure tank air charge too low; leak in system; faulty pressure switch. | Check and adjust pressure tank air charge. Inspect entire system for leaks. Test or replace pressure switch. |
| Excessive noise/vibration | Cavitation (air in pump); loose mounting; bearing wear. | Ensure pump is primed and no air leaks. Secure pump mounting. Consult service for bearing issues. |
