nameplate data Model HP Volts HZ/Ph Amp Amb Class Rating PRIMING VP05 1/2 115 60/1 6.0 40C B Cont After installation (with the pump OFF), open ball valves #1 and #2, and slowly unthread the air relief plug (fig 2). Allow inlet water pressure to fill the pump cavity and remove in-line air pockets. After the pump cavity fills with water, retighten the air relief plug. VP10 1 115 60/1 11 40C B Cont FIG 2 PRIMING ILLUSTRATION a. Open ball valves #1 and #2, close 3.
Checking and Setting Tank PSI – Factory tank PSI settings are 26 PSI (1/2 hp) and 36 PSI (1 hp). If the inlet PSI is HIGHER than the factory settings, increase the tank PSI to be approximately 5 PSI higher than incoming pressure. To check the tank air pressure, turn off power, open a tap on the discharge line to release pressure from the pump, unscrew the black plastic cover and apply a pressure gauge to the valve as shown in Fig 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before ANY work with the pump, SHUT OFF the electrical supply and ball valves #1 and #2 to prevent electrical shock and water damage. Problem Pump does not start or shuts down, Cause No power supply. Incorrect voltage. Correction Connect the electricity supply. Pump is 115 Volt only. Incorrectly plumbed. Blocked inlet Insufficient water supply Pump starts when no water is consumed. Pipe leaking. Tank pressure is low. Air in the system.
Maintenance Requirements • • Pressure Tank Charge – should be checked every 3 months to confirm tank air pressure. See FIG 3 for description to check air pressure. Pump Suction Inlet Screen – if internal debris blocks or restricts the inlet suction screen (fig 5), manually clean with hands. FIG 5 – INLET SCREEN Note – tank pressure should be set approximately 5 psi higher than the expected incoming pressure.
