Product Manual

NOTE: When using a check valve, an air
bleed hole of 1⁄8” (3.2mm) needs to be
drilled in the discharge pipe. The hole
should be below the check valve, but
above the water line. A small stream of
water will escape through this air bleed
hole when the pump is running, so the
hole should be drilled at an angle
toward the bottom of the sump pit.
8. Install a gate valve or ball valve as
required by any codes.
9. Secure the power cord to the
discharge pipe with wire ties or
clamps to prevent interference with
the float assembly (if used).
10. A pit cover is recommended for all
installations as a safety measure,
and to prevent debris from falling
into the pit.
11. In instances where the discharge
line is exposed to freezing
temperatures, the pipe must be
positioned in a downward slope so
any remaining water will drain
away. Failure to do this will prevent
water from exiting the pit and
damage the pump if the line freezes.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
1. After the initial installation, be sure
to check the pump operation by
filling the sump with water and
observing the pump through one full
cycle.
NOTE: When the pump activates, it
should have a “normal pumping”
sound. Any abnormal sound, vibration,
or lack of output is the signal of a
problem. Stop the pump and refer to
the troubleshooting guide.
2
. Replace the pit cover making sure
not to pinch or crimp the pump wire
with the cover. The pit cover either
has a ‘hole punch’ that will allow the
cord to be passed through or one can
be drilled.
Operation
OPERATING THE PUMP IN A
CONTINUOUS DUTY APPLICATION
C8050 and C8100 pumps are rated for
continuous duty and may be used in
applications requiring continuous
pumping including fountains, ponds,
etc. For use in any continuous duty
application the pump should be
plugged directly into the wall outlet
without the use of a controller. The
outlet must be a single phase properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle, 115V,
60Hz (preferably with ground fault
circuit interrupt). For continuous duty
operation, the pump must be submerged
at least 3/4 of the depth of the pump at
all times.
Maintenance
Maintenance should be performed 1-2
times per year.
1. Remove all debris from the bottom
of the pit.
2. Remove all debris floating in the
water.
3. Remove all debris from the float
switch.
4. Fill the pit with water. Make sure
pump turns on at the intended level.
5. While the pump is running, make
sure pump is evacuating water at a
good pace.
6
. While the pump is running, make
sure a stream of water is escaping
from the air bleed hole. If not, clear
the hole of any deposits or debris.
