S AFETY W ARNINGS

Thank you for purchasing your Ion Technologies Pump. To help ensure years of trouble-free operation, please read the following manual carefully.

CAUTION: Read these safety warnings first before installing, servicing, or operating any pump.
This manual contains important information for the safe use of this product. Read this manual completely and follow the instructions carefully. Reasonable care and safe methods relating to the installation and operation of this product should be practiced. Check local codes and requirements before installation.

Installer must disconnect all electrical sources prior to installation, handling or servicing. Only qualified personnel may install this system. NFPA 70/National Electric Code (NEC) or local codes must be followed. System must be properly grounded according to NEC. Do not lift pump by power cord..
WARNING: Biohazard risk. Once waste water source has been connected  to system, Biohazard   Risk  exists. Installer(s)   and/or service personnel  must  use proper Personal Protective Equipment and follow handling procedures per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 when handling equipment after wastewater source has been connected to system. .
WARNING: Risk of asphyxiation. Installer(s) and/or service personnel must use proper Personal Protective Equipment and follow OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 or OSHA 29 CFR 1926.
Pump may be installed in a location classified by as a confined space..
WARNING: Risk of fire or explosion. Do not smoke or use open flames in or around this system. This system is not intended for use in hazardous locations per NFPA 70 National Electric Code. Do not pump flammable liquids. Consult factory for optional equipment rated for hazardous location use.
WARNING: Cutting risk. Risk of serious cutting or amputation exists. Disconnect all power sources prior to servicing pump. Pump may start without warning.
CAUTION: Do not modify the cord and plug. When using the cord and plug, plug into a grounded outlet only. When wiring to a system control, connect the pump ground lead to the system ground.
CAUTION: Do not run the pump dry. Dry running can overheat the pump (causingburns to anyone handling it) and will void the warranty.
The pump normally runs hot. To avoid burns, allow it to cool for 30 minutes after shutdown before handling it.
Submersible sump pumps are not approved for use in swimming pools, recreational water installations, decorative fountains or any installation where human contact with the pumped fluid is common. Pump designed to be installed in a sump or wet location where drainage collects and pump liquid forms of waste mixed with water.

O VERVIEW

are not designed for pumping potable water. These pumps are not for use in swimming pools, decorative fountains, or any installation where human contact with pumped fluid is common or possible.
The HT40 pump uses a 4/10 HP shaded pole, 1550 RPM motor, and are available in 115 volt, single phase. All pumps are supplied with a 20’ power cord. The HT40 pump is designed to pass ¾” spherical solids. Pump impellers are Class 20 cast iron vortex design. All pumps have 1½” NPT discharge

A IR L OCKING

A pump is said to be air locked if water traps air in the pump and it cannot get out, thus preventing the pump from operating. The pump has a 1/8″ air vent hole in the impeller chamber to let out trapped air. If this hole becomes plugged, pump may air lock. As a secondary precaution a 1/8″ hole should be drilled in the discharge pipe below the check valve. The check valve should be 12″ to 18″ above pump discharge. Do not put check valve directly into pump discharge opening.
Each pump is packaged separately in a carton marked with a catalog number. The pumps are

P ACKAGING

carefully packaged to prevent damage in shipping. However, occasionally damage may result due to rough handling. Carefully go over pump and check for damage that could cause pump to fail.
The motors used in the HT40 pump is pressed into

M OTOR T YPE

the cast iron housings and surrounded by dielectric oil for superior heat dissipation. All models use a 4/10 HP shaded pole, 1550 RPM motor. All models have Class B motors available in 115 volts with
overload protection, and use a double sleeve bearing design

I NSTALLATIONS

installed in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA 70.

When installing a HT40 pump in high temperature installations, ALL basins, tanks, piping, fittings, additional floats and cables must have rating exceeding 195°F (90°C). Also pumps are not to be used in environments where ambient temperatures exceed 195°F (90°C).
Ion Technologies recommends installing effluent pumps in a rail system type quick disconnect on deeper installations.
The discharge pipe must be the same size as the pump discharge, 1½″ or larger. In order to insure sufficient fluid velocity to prevent any residual solids from collecting in the discharge pipe, it is recommended that a minimum flow of 2 ‘ per second be maintained (12 GPM through 1½″ pipe, 21 GPM through 2″ pipe. A full flow (ball or gate) shut off valve must be installed to prevent back flow of effluent if the pump must be removed for service. A check valve must be installed on sewer systems to prevent back flow and to reduce wear.

Pump does not run or start when water is up in tank

1. Check for blown fuse or tripped circuit
2. Where control panel is used be sure H-O-A switch is in the AUTO position. If it does not run, turn switch to the HAND position and if the pump runs then the trouble is in the automatic electrical Have electrician make electrical checks.
3. Check for burned out Occasionally lightning can damage a motor even with lightning protection.
4. Where plug-in cords are used be sure contact blades are clean and making good contact. Do not use plug-in cords inside a sump or wet

Pump runs but does not deliver flow

1. Check for air Start and stop pump several times, if this does not help it may be necessary to loosen a union in the discharge line to relieve air lock.
2. Check valve may be installed Check flow arrow on valve body. Check shutoff valve. It may be closed.
3. Check vertical elevation. It may be higher than pump can (See pump curve).
4. Pump inlet may be plugged. Remove pump to

CAUTION: always unplug power cords or turn off all main and branch circuit breakers before doing any work on the pump. If control panel is remote from pump, disconnect lead wires to motor so that no one can turn the circuit breaker back on.
