TYPICAL PUMP SETUPTypical setups for lawn sprinkler pump systems include ground water wells (Fig. 4) or surface water, such as lakes, ponds or streams. (Fig. 5)

LOCATIONFor best performance, the pump should be located as close to the water source as possible.

VENTILATIONVentilation and drainage must be provided to prevent damage to the motor from heat and moisture.

FREEZINGThe pump and all piping must be protected from freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain pump or remove completely from the sprinkler system.

WATER SUPPLYThe water source must be able to supply enough water to satisfy the capacity of the pump and water needs. See performance chart on page 13.

SUCTION LIFTSuction lift is the vertical distance from the lowest level of the water to the pump intake. The pump will move water as long as the pump is within 25 vertical feet of the water source.

HORIZONTAL DISTANCEThe horizontal distance is the horizontal measurement between the pump suction and the water source. This distance may affect the ability of the pump to operate. If it is over 60 feet, call the manufacturer for assistance at 1-800-742-5044.

PIPE AND FITTINGSUse galvanized steel or NSF PW Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings. This material is designed for water pressure and will seal against air and water under pressure. Do Not Use: DWV fittings, as these are designed for drains without pressure and will not seal properly.

CAUTION: The entire system must be air and water tight for efficient operation and to maintain prime.

WIRE SIZE:The wire size is determined by the distance from the breaker box to the pump motor, and the horsepower rating of the motor. See the wire chart on page 13 for proper wire size.

PUMP PREPARATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER

FOR WELL INSTALLATIONS1. Thread the 2 in. MPT x 2 in. slip adapter into

the 2 in. foot valve which is included with the pump. (Fig. 17)

2. Glue 2 in. pipe into the adapter. Glue enough sections of pipe together using 2 in. couplers in order for the foot valve to be completely submerged in water. Be sure suction pipe will remain fully submerged at the lowest expected level of the water source. (Fig. 18 & 19)

3. Install well seal in order to hold the drop pipe (suction pipe) in position in the well. (Fig. 20)

4. Glue a 90º elbow when the suction pipe is in line with the suction port of the pump. (Fig. 21)

FOR SURFACE WATER INSTALLATIONSFor surface water installations, follow steps 1 and 2 above and then follow steps below:1. Glue a 45º elbow when the suction pipe is in

line with the suction port of the pump. (Fig. 22)

PUMP INSTALLATION FOR WELL AND SURFACE WATER

1. Mount pump on a solid foundation as close to the water source as possible. (Fig. 24)

2. Glue enough sections of pipe to connect the 2 in. suction line from the well or lake (done in the well preparation section) to reach the 2 in. suction male union (done in the pump preparation section.)

CAUTION: Support the 2 in suction pipe from the well or lake to the suction port to prevent sagging. Sagging will create air pockets within the pipe which will prevent the pump from priming and operating correctly. (Fig. 23)

3. Glue female 2 in. union to the end of suction pipe leading from the water source.

4. Connect the 2 in. union together to complete the suction line to the pump.

5. Glue a 6 in. piece of 1-1/2 in. pipe to the female portion of the 1-1/2 in. union.

6. Glue 1-1/2 in. ball valve to the other end of the 6 in piece of pipe. (Fig. 25)

7. Connect the 1-1/2 in. discharge pipe to the sprinkler system by gluing in additional sections of pipe as needed.
