Installation Skill Requirements
The installation of a basin system is a specialized skill, which requires individuals with the basic understanding of excavating, pipe fitting, and electrical wiring.
These instructions are meant only to be an installation guide; therefore, unusual installation conditions not covered in these instructions require experienced personnel capable of using reasonable engineering principles for the installation and operation of the system.
Excavation Instructions
DANGER
Excavation location shall be made according to local codes and regulations.
Check with local utility companies for the location of underground utilities
prior to excavation. Care should be taken to avoid buried utility lines,
piping, and other buried structures and foundations. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.
Excavation for Basin Systems
Effect appropriate excavation based on size of the basin, desired entrance
point of the influent line, and entrance of power connection.
Basin Installation Instructions
Basin System Handling:
Factory built basin systems must not be dropped, dragged, rolled, or handled
with sharp objects. Improper handling of basins may result in damage to the
basin, damage to basin components, or leaks in the piping assemblies.
Step 1
The pad under the basin requires 4 to 6 inches of appropriate fill. The ideal
basin pad is concrete in conjunction with ant flotation tie-down studs. Basin
ant flotation tie-down kits are available from Hydromatic. If concrete pad is
not used, the aggregate must be compacted to a minimum 85% standard proctor
density per ASTM D698, or as required by the authority having jurisdiction.
Concrete pad or aggregate surface must be leveled flat and free of voids to
conform to the basin bottom. Basin bedding depth should be calculated such
that the basin top will protrude 3″ above the normal grade upon final
installation.
Step 2
Lifting of the basin may be done with a nylon or other non-damaging type
material sling. Do not wrap a chain or steel cable around the basin as damage
may result. The two t-shaped molded-in lugs (polybasin only) may be used for
lifting the basin. Do not attach lifting mechanism around the discharge hub or
electrical hub.
DANGER
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. May result in serious injury or
death or fire hazard. Failure to properly support electrical conduit, lines
and connections may result in structural failure. Electrical connections may
be damaged exposing live electrical connections.
CAUTION
If the basin is not tied down during installation, rain or flood conditions
may cause the basin to float upward, causing damage to the basin or basin
connections. Claims for this type of damage cannot be processed by Hydromatic.
Step 3
Lower the basin into excavation, position and level properly. Mount basin to
base anchor bolts if an ant flotation tie-down kit is used. If basin is
fiberglass, inspect basin and seal off any cuts or scratches to prevent
fiberglass deterioration.
Influent and Discharge
Connections for Fiberglass Basins
Step 1
An inlet grommet is the standard supplied influent connection device. If
another type of inlet hub is used, refer to the directions included with the
hub.
Determine point at which influent line will enter basin and, using a properly
maintained piloted hole saw sized per chart below, drill a hole through the
basin wall. If using a fiberglass basin, clean cut hole and apply a sealant
coating to the cut section to prevent fiberglass deterioration. Insert the
inlet grommet into the drilled hole.
PIPE SIZE | HOLE SAW DIAMETER * |
---|---|
3″ | 4″ |
4″ | 5″ |
6″** | 7″ |
- Contact the factory for availability of proper size hole saw if necessary.
** 6″ pipe size requires use of a fiberglass basin.
WARNING
Failure to use a properly piloted hole saw may result in damage to basin which
may result in structural failure or serious leaks.
Step 2
Lubricate inside lip of inlet grommet with pipe soap. Clean outer end of
influent pipe and push pipe through grommet. Ensure pipe does not protrude
inside basin so as to interfere with pump removal or float operation.
Step 3
Close shut-off valve and make discharge line connection. It is strongly
recommended that an additional shutoff valve and redundant check valve be
located outside the basin at any force main entrances – check local codes for
specific requirements.
Backfill Instructions
The authority having jurisdiction has the right to require alternative materials or procedures for backfilling the installation.
WARNING: Failure to properly backfill may result in damage to the basin which could cause leaks or structural failure. Failure to follow these backfill instructions during the installation of the basin voids the basin warranty.
CAUTION
In freezing conditions the backfill must be dry and free of ice. Do not use
other backfill materials. Failure to use the recommended bed and backfill
materials during the installation of the basin voids the basin warranty.
DANGER
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. May result in serious injury or
death or fire hazard. Failure to properly support electrical conduit, lines
and connections may result in structural failure. Electrical connections may
be damaged, exposing live electrical connections.
Step 1
Obtain proper backfill material. The backfill material provides as much as 90%
of the basin’s support under certain stress conditions. The installer must be
positive that correct bed and backfill materials are used per instructions as
follows:
- A. Gravel – clean and free flowing with particle size not less than 1/8″ or more than 3/4″ in diameter. Use this description when ordering or specifying as material varies upon geographical location. This material is commonly known as “pea gravel”.
- B. Stone or gravel crushing’s with angular particle size of not less than 1/8″ or more than 1/2″ diameter, washed and free flowing, is acceptable as an alternative material.
Step 2
At least a 4 inch wide band of compacted aggregate must be placed in
successive layers (6″ lifts) around the entire periphery of the basin.
Carefully compact aggregate under all piping and electrical lines. Cover grade
should slope down 3″ to the normal surrounding grade. Care must be taken to
prevent damage to any influent, discharge, or electrical connections made to
the basin.

Unpacking Pump:
Remove pump from carton. When unpacking unit, check for concealed damage.
Claims for damage must be made at the receiving end through the delivery
carrier. Damage cannot be processed from the factory.
Systems Description:
Factory built basin systems are available in 24″ diameter basins with 48″
through 96″ depths in one-foot increments. In the system, the pump and piping
assembly is raised and lowered in the basin using rope attached to pump with
integral union to facilitate piping disconnect.
Application:
These pump systems are designed for pumping effluent or sewage water with a pH
ranging from 5 to 9, specific gravities from 0.9 to 1.1, viscosities ranging
from 28 to 35 S.S.U. and temperatures up to 140°F.
Pump Models:
The basin system may employ any 1 through 2 HP submersible grinder pump that
uses cutter blades to grind solids into a slurry. Refer to the pump service
manual when adjusting, dismantling, or repairing the pump.
Inspection:
Check to be sure that all items for your particular system are included, and
that the phase and voltage on the pump nameplate are correct as ordered.
Codes: All local codes must be observed. Consult the local inspector(s) before
installation to avoid costly delays or rework.
Grinder Pump Attachments:
Step 1
Attach the stainless steel foot bracket to bottom of the pump with bolts and
washers provided.
Apply Pipe:
Step 2
Apply thread sealant to pipe threads and screw the discharge piping assembly
into the pump discharge.
Step 3
Attach lifting chain, cable or rope as supplied to the lifting eye bolts.
DANGER
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. May result in serious injury or
death or fire hazard. To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not connect
conduit to pump .
Internal Basin Connections
Step 1
If the system is supplied with a float bracket, attach float switches to the
float bracket by clamping strain relief bushings around the float cords, then
inserting and twisting the bushings into the float bracket slots.
Step 2
After grinder pump attachments have been made, lower the pump and piping
assembly down, ensuring the discharge valve union aligns properly. Tighten the
discharge valve union properly with discharge.
Systems with Junction Box:
-
Step 1
Ensure power source is off or dis connected. -
Step 2
Push pump power, seal failure/heat sensor, and float cords through cord grips in the junction box and tighten. To prevent corrosion or electrical short, plug any unused holes. -
Step 3
Remove junction box cover and make all connections inside junction box to all incoming control panel wires. -
Step 4
It is recommended that the customer furnish and install a conduit seal outside the basin to prevent surface water from entering the junction box.
Systems Without Junction Box:
-
Step 1
An inlet grommet for 2″ PVC conduit is the standard supplied electrical conduit connection device. If another type of connection device is used, refer to the directions included with the device. Determine the point at which the electrical conduit will enter the basin and, using a 3″ diameter, properly maintained, piloted hole saw, drill a hole through the basin wall. If using a fiberglass basin, clean the edges of the hole and apply a sealant coating to the cut section to prevent fiberglass deterioration. Insert the inlet grommet into the drilled hole.
WARNING
Failure to use a properly piloted hole saw may result in damage to the basin which may result in structural failure of serious leaks. -
Step 2
Lubricate the inside lip of the inlet grommet with pipe soap. Clean the outer end of the conduit and push the conduit through the grommet. Ensure that the conduit does not protrude inside the basin so as to interfere with pump removal or float operation. -
Step 3
Fish the pump and float switch cords through the conduit to the control panel. The pump cord length, control panel location and conduit length must allow the cords to run continuously to the control panel without splices. -
Step 4
Make the electrical connections at the control panel. Seal the opening of the conduit at the entrance into the control panel with electrical putty or a similar sealant to prevent sewer gases from entering the control panel.
CAUTION
Failure to properly seal the electrical conduit from the basin at the
entrance to the control panel may allow sewer gases to condense inside the
control panel and cause premature panel failure. Warranty claims for this type
of failure cannot be processed by Hydromatic.
Electrical Connections
DANGER
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. May result in serious injury or
death or fire hazard. Installer must disconnect all electrical sources prior
to installation. 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 or local codes.
NOTE: Failure to use a Hydromatic approved control panel voids the pump warranty and guarantee.
IMPORTANT: Properly connect the panel ground wire to a grounding rod. Improper grounding voids warranty.
Panel Wiring:
-
Step 1
Ensure power source is off or disconnected. -
Step 2
Connect pump power and float cords to panel terminals per the schematic provided. All conduits and cables entering the panel must be sealed off.
Check panel wiring to ensure white, black, and red pump leads are connected according to the schematic and panel wire labels. Single phase pumps will run only if connected one way.
Danger
Cutting risk. Risk of serious cutting or amputation exists. Disconnect all
power sources prior to handling or servicing pump or grinding mechanism. Pump
may start without warning. Grinding mechanism is extremely sharp. Use caution
when handling the grinder mechanism. Do not leave pump in basin unless it is
placed in operation. If a pump has been out of service for an extended period
of time, with the power off, rotate the impeller by turning the radial cutter
with a screwdriver to be sure it rotates freely.
Preoperational Grinder Pump Checks:
-
Step 1
Ensure power source is off or disconnected. -
Step 2
Remove pump from basin. -
Step 3
With power off, turn radial cutter with a screwdriver to be sure it rotates freely. If necessary to adjust, refer to pump service manual.
Pump Operations
-
Step 1
Run clear water into the basin until motor housing is covered. -
Step 2
Open the shut-off valve to the discharge line. -
Step 3
Turn on main breaker. -
Step 4
Start the pump by pushing the “Push-to-run” push button inside the control panel. -
Step 5
Check the pump amperage with clamp on ammeter on black pump lead. Readings higher than nameplate indicate clogged pump, miswiring, or improper voltage. If basin is not being pumped down and amperage readings are considerably lower than nameplate, then the pump is air locked. -
Step 6
Float adjustment for simplex systems:
Adjust floats so that the water level is above the pump motor housing, and the pump shuts off when the water level is 2 inches above the pump volute discharge.
Pump Troubleshooting
Below is a list of common problems and possible solutions. Refer to the pump and panel installation and service manuals for details regarding any necessary adjusting, dismantling or repair work.
DANGER
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution. May result in serious injury or
death or fire hazard. Installer must disconnect all electrical sources prior
to installation. Only qualified personnel may install or service this system.
NFPA 70/National Electric Code (NEC) or local codes must be followed. System
must be properly grounded according to NEC or local codes.
DANGER
Cutting risk. Risk of serious cutting or amputation exists. Disconnect all
power sources prior to handling or servicing pump or grinding mechanism. Pump
may start without warning. Grinding mechanism is extremely sharp. Use caution
when handling grinder mechanism.
Pump runs but does not pump down the basin with the H-O-A switch on either Hand or Automatic position.
- Cutters may be clogged. Amperage higher than nameplate may indicate this problem.
- Discharge gate valve may be closed.
- Clogging anywhere from cutters to check valve. This is evident if no water discharged out of the check valve after raising the pump to disconnect the sealing flange. Pull pump assembly and check for cause of clogging.
- Discharge head may be too high. Check elevation against design point of pump.
- Clogging beyond the sealing flange. This is evident if water is discharged through the check valve when raising the pump to disconnect the sealing flange. Inspect system basin piping or discharge piping from basin to locate clogging.
Basin level is pumped down when the “Push-to-run” push button is pushed, but is not pumped down in Automatic position.
- Floats are not hanging free in the basin or are covered with grease. Pump the level down with the “Push-to-run” push button, so that the floats can be observed. Relocate and clean float(s) as necessary.
- If this is a new installation and original start-up, the floats may be miswired into the control panel. If the On and Off floats are reversed, the pump will short cycle on and off and will not pump the level down.
- Floats are malfunctioning. Pull the floats out of the basin and hang the Off and On floats from your hand. Tilt the Off float so that the large end is above the cord end – nothing should happen. While keeping the Off float tilted, tilt the On float in the same manner – the pump should come on. Suspend the On float again from your hand – the pump should continue to run. Finally, suspend the Off float – the pump should stop running. If this procedure does not cause the pump to operate as described, either replace the float(s) or replace the alternator relay if the system is duplex.
NOTE: Use twisted shielded cable for seal failure cable runs in excess of 100 feet.
Pump run light stays on.
- Lower float may have failed causing the pump to continue operating below the Off level.
- Pump may be air locked.
- Cutters may be clogged.
Circuit breaker trips when pump tries to start.
- Short circuit in pump motor.
- Water may have entered the motor housing through either worn-out mechanical seals or O- rings.
- Start component(s) failure. Check start capacitor and start relay for failure.
- Pump may be miswired to panel. The white, black, and red pump power leads must be connected correctly to panel.
