SITING OF THE PUMP/PIPEWORK
WARNINGS:
Ensure pipework from pump is independently supported to prevent
forces being transferred to outlet branch.
Do not under any circumstances use the cable fitted as a means to
carry or lower the pump into position on installation. Attach a rope
sling to the lifting eye.
Ensure the pump or controller cannot be subjected to freezing
conditions as damage may result.
Never run pump whilst sucking air/liquid as the motor will overheat. To
prevent this from happening always install pump in the vertical position
and ensure fully submerged.
The pumps are supplied with a non-return valve which should be screwed into the pump
outlet port using the supplied adaptor (Fig. 2). The purpose of the valve is to limit back flow
and pressure on the pump and ensure discharge pipework is always primed with water.
The pumps are also supplied with an outlet adaptor which allows for a 25 mm diameter
bore hose. The pump should be installed vertically and should be submerged at all times
to avoid overheating of the motor. When siting the pump ensure its base is raised slightly
from the base of the sump reducing the possibility of blocking the pump inlet filter with
debris. The discharge pipework must be independently supported to prevent forces being
transferred to pump outlet branch.
If the pump is not to sit on the bottom of the sump or it is too deep, then it should be
suspended by a rope attached to the lifting eye located on top of the pump.
All connections are to be as shown in Fig. 2 (ensure all joints are watertight). The control
module is to be mounted remotely from the pump in a dry frost free enclosure or building
(Fig. 1). Ensure the water flow is in the direction of the arrows that are moulded onto the
pressure control module (vertically upwards).
The control module must be mounted in the vertical position and not mounted in any
other way (on its side for instance).
The pump must be wired to the control module as detailed in wiring diagram section.
