PENTAIR Myers E-10 1.0 HP Effluent Pump Instruction Manual

PENTAIR Myers E-10 1.0 HP Effluent Pump

USAGE

The E10 is a submersible wastewater effluent pump designed specifically for individual residential and pressure applications. These pumps are for residential domestic use only and are not to be used for pumping commercial or industrial effluent such as from motels, schools, apartments, factories, etc.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
This product and related accessories contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

INSPECTING PUMP

Before making any piping or electrical connections, check the pump for shipping damage or cracks. Using a flat screwdriver placed in the slot on the shaft end, turn the shaft and impeller to be sure they are free. CAUTION: NEVER WORK ON THE UNIT WITHOUT DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRICAL POWER CORD.

POWER SUPPLY
The E10 effluent pump should be connected only to a 230 volt, single phase, 60 Hertz power source. The pump will draw approximately 8.2 amperes at minimum flow and 10.5 amperes at maximum flow rate. The pump must be connected to a grounded power socket. DO NOT cut off the ground pin from the power cord plug.

POWER CORD
A 20 foot power cord is attached to the effluent pump via a quick-disconnect positive sealing socket design. The power cord should be replaced if it has been damaged in any way or the cord jacket has become brittle with age.

FLOAT CONTROL

The float control has the same type of cord end connector as the power cord. The “OFF” and “ON” cycle times can be increased by setting a slightly longer tether length between the clamp and the float.

MOTOR
The E10 effluent pump contains a single phase, capacitor start, 3450 RPM motor. Overload protection is provided by an on-winding thermal protector which opens upon experiencing higher than normal temperatures. The protector will reset automatically upon cooling and the motor will restart. The motor chamber contains dielectric transformer oil to provide good heat transfer and lubrication of the ball bearings and seal; no other lubrication is required.
CAUTION – THE E10 EFFLUENT PUMP SHOULD NEVER BE WORKED ON WITHOUT FIRST DISCONNECTING THE POWER CORD.

CLEANING THE IMPELLER AND VOLUTE CASE

1.  Unplug the pump.
2. Remove the four (4) bolts that hold the volute case in place. CAUTION: Do not remove the two (2) bolts that hold the seal plate to the motor housing.
3.  Remove volute case and clean. Check that the discharge passage is not blocked with debris. Also, clean around impeller if necessary. Do not remove the impeller as oil will leak past the shaft seal.
4. By turning the impeller clockwise, check that the impeller and motor turn. There will be some drag due to shaft seal friction.
5. Replace the volute and start the four (4) bolts. Tighten the bolts down evenly and firmly; do not overtighten.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOMS
Pump does not run or hum. See A, B, C, D, E or F.
Pump runs but does not deliver water. See G, H, I, J, K or L.
Pump runs and pumps out sump but does not stop. See M.
Pump runs but delivers only small amount of water. See I, J, K, L or N.
Fuse blows or circuit breaker trips when pump starts. See K, L, N, O or P.
Motor runs for short time then stops. Then after short period starts again. Indicates tripping overload caused by symptom shown. See K, L, N or P.

SOLUTIONS

• Line circuit breaker may be off; or fuse, if used, may be blown or loose.
• Water level in sump may be too low. Run in more water.
• Pump cord plug may not be making contact in receptacle.
• If pump is using the series cord plug, the two plugs may not be plugged tight together.
•  Float may be stuck. Be sure float operates freely in basin.
•  If all symptoms check OK, motor winding may be open; take to service center for check.
• Check valve may be installed backward. Arrow on valve points in direction of flow.
• Discharge shut-off valve, if used, may be closed.
• Pump may be air locked. Start and stop several times by plugging and unplugging cord. Check vent hole on pump case for plugging.
• Pump head may be too high. Pump cannot deliver water over 108 ft. vertical. Horizontal distance does not affect pumping, except loss due to friction.
•  Inlet holes in pump base may be clogged. Remove pump and clean out openings.
• Impeller or volute openings may be plugged or partially plugged. Remove pump and clean per maintenance instructions.
• Float is stuck in up position. Be sure float operates freely in basin.
• Pump impeller may be partially clogged causing motor to run slow, resulting in motor overload.
• Fuse size or circuit breaker is too small. Must be 15 amps.
• Defective motor stator. Return to Myers service center.
