DESCRIPTION
Submersible Effluent Pumps are designed for home basins. For
use in effluent applications or grey water and can handle 1/2"
solids or less". The unit is equipped with a 3-prong grounding-
type power cord. The shaded-pole motor is oil filled and sealed
for cooler running. Upper sleeve/lower ballbearing on the
motor shaft never need lubrication. Automatic reset thermal
protection provided.

PERFORMANCE
INSTALLATION
1. Install the pump in a effluent pit with a minimum diameter
of 14” (356mm). The effluent depth should be 15” minimum
(381mm). Construct the effluent pit of tile, concrete, steel
or plastic. The pump should not be installed on clay, earth
or sand surfaces. Check the local codes for approved
materials.
2. Clean the effluent pit of small stones and gravel which could
clog the pump. Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
3. Install the pump in the pit so that the switch operating
mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
4. Install the discharge plumbing. When using rigid pipe,
use plastic pipe. Wrap the threads with PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape. Screw the pipe into the pump hand tight +1 –
1-1/2 turns.
5. Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic pipe.
Pipe joint compound can attack plastics and damage the
pump.
6. Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hose is
used, make sure the pump is secure in the basib/tank to
prevent movement. Failure to secure the pump may allow
pump movement, switch interference and prevent the
pump from starting or stopping.
7. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of
rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into the
discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.
8. Install an in-line check valve to prevent backward flow
through the pump when the pump shuts off.
9. Power Supply: The pump is designed for 115 V., 60 Hz.,
operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch
circuit.
10. Both the pump and switch are supplied with 3-wire cord
sets with grounding-type plugs. The switch plug is inserted
directly into the outlet and the pump plug inserts into the
opposite end of the switch plug.
11.
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock. The pump should always be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as
a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic
raceway, or ground wire system. Do not modify the cord or
plug or cut off the round ground pin.
12. If the pump discharge line is exposed to an outside sub-
freezing atmosphere, the portion of the line exposed must
be installed so any water remaining in the pipe will drain to
the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can cause the water
trapped in the discharge to freeze which could result in
damage to the pump.
13. After the piping and check valve have been installed, the
unit is ready for operation.
14. Check the operation by filling the basin/tank with water and
observing pump operation through one complete cycle.
Risk of Flooding. Failure to make this
operational check may lead to improper operation,
premature failure, and flooding.
