For parts or assistance, call Simer Customer Service at 1-800-468-7867 / 1-800-546-7867
BOOSTING CITY WATER PRESSURE
Hazardous pressure. Never run the pump
against a closed discharge. To do so can boil the water
inside the pump, causing hazardous pressure in the
pump causing the risk of explosion and possibly scalding
persons nearby. See Figure 6.
When using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use
only a reinforced high pressure hose or pipe for the dis-
charge line.
When using a garden hose, install adapters to the pump
suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require
two female ends. Either use a standard washing machine
supply hose or modify a short piece of standard 1” gar-
den hose as a suction line (See Figure 7).
Hazardous pressure. Do not shut off the
hose or the sprinklers while the pump is running. The
hose or sprinkler head may explode.
PIPING
Both the suction and discharge ports are tapped for 1"
BSP threads. If using hoses, use hose adapters. See
Figure 7. Do not use a hose on the suction if pumping
from lakes, streams or ponds. The hose will collapse and
cause pump failure. Install a strainer with a foot valve on
the end of the suction line. Inspect and clean the strainer
frequently (Figure 9).
NOTICE: An air leak in the suction pipe may draw air in
although no water leaks out. Make sure there are no air
leaks or air pockets in the suction pipe.
