GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION
Typical Pump Setup
Typical setups for lawn sprinkler pump systems
include ground water wells ( Fig. 1) or surface
water, such as lakes, ponds or streams. ( Fig. 3)
Location
For best performance, the pump must be
located as close to the water source as possible
and protected from the elements.
Ventilation
Ventilation and drainage must be provided to
prevent damage to the motor from heat and
moisture.
Freezing
The pump and all piping must be protected from
freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain
pump or remove completely from the sprinkler
system.
Water Supply
The water source must be able to supply
enough water to satisfy the capacity of the pump
and water needs. See performance chart on
page 21.
WARNING: NEVER run pump (A) against a
closed discharge. Doing so can boil water inside
pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk
of explosion and possibly scalding persons
handling pump. ( Fig. 2)
