Installation

Protect pump from the elements by

installing in a basement, garage, tool

shed or pump house. Install the pump so

the centerline of the pump is as close as

possible to the water level. Keep installa-

tion area clear to provide access for ser-

vice and maintenance. Protect the pump

against flooding and excess moisture.

Make sure the pump has adequate ven-

tilation. The surrounding temperature

should not exceed 100

F (38

C) or nui-

sance tripping of the motor may occur.

PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION

Use new pipe for best results.

Galvanized or plastic pipe can be used.

When using galvanized pipe, provide

independent supports for both suction

and discharge piping near the pump to

avoid strain on the pump. Minimize use

of elbows and fittings to reduce friction

loss. Refer to the friction loss chart for

specific information.

Increase diameter of suction or dis-

charge piping if length is over 50 feet.

SUCTION PIPING

Install foot valve

or strainer screen

over intake of suction piping.

Never use pipe smaller than 2” in

diameter for suction piping. The suc-

tion pipe must be kept free of air leaks.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual Lawn Sprinkler Pump Installation (Continued) To Pump To Pump For horizontal runs, lay pipe from the water source so the upward slope is at least 1/2” per foot. This eliminates trapped air. The threaded inlet of the pump is 2” NPT. Well Seal Do not install suction piping near swimming areas. DISCHARGE PIPING Install a 1-1/2” pipe tee in the pump discharge to allow easy priming.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual WLS Series Dug Well, Cistern, Lake And Spring Installation grounding screw provided within the wiring compartment. 1. Install a foot valve on the inlet pipe and lower into the water. The voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump. The WLS75, WLS100 and WLS150 have dual voltage motors preset at the factory to 230 volts. The motors can be converted to 115 volts by turning the voltage selector to the desired voltage (See Figure 5).
