PENTAIR 2330-03 Simer Smart Geyser Submersible Utility Pump

DESCRIPTION

The submersible pump is designed for water removal in home applications. Pump can be used for emergency service and dewatering. Unit is constructed of hi- impact corrosion resistant plastic. Screened inlet prevents large solids from entering pump

GENERAL SAFETY

Electrically powered utility pumps normally give many years of trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained, and used. However, unusual circumstances (interruption of power to the pump, dirt/debris, flooding that exceeds the pump’s capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from functioning normally. To prevent possible water damage due to flooding, consult your retailer about a secondary AC pump, a DC backup pump, and/or a high water alarm. See the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this manual for information about common pump problems and remedies. For more information, see your retailer or call Simer customer service at 1-800-468-7867.

Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
Make certain power source conforms to requirements of your equipment.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Release all pressure within system before servicing any component.
Drain all water from system before servicing.
Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain all connections are secure.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Keep pump and system free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
Personal Safety:
Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master switches, and by removing starter keys.
When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as most recent
National Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3- prong, grounding-type plug.
All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at motor. Refer to most recent National Electrical Code.
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can operate at high temperatures.

PERFORMANCE

INSTALLATION

Pump should be located and should rest on level solid foundation. Do not suspend pump by means of discharge pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet screen clear.
Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid stripping or crossing threads.
To install with garden hose, install adapter provided with pump.
NOTICE: To keep friction as low as possible, hose must be 5/8″ or larger. Keep hose as short as possible.
To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread with Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint Stik*.
Screw pipe into pump hand tight +1 – 1-1/2 turns.
If, in your application, backflow is a problem when the pump stops, prevent it by installing a 1″ NPT check valve in the pump discharge.
Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60 HZ. operation and requires an individual branch circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity

OPERATION

The Smart GeyserTM is fully automatic in operation. The “smart” controller starts the pump every 2-1/2 minutes and causes it to run for 5 seconds. If it senses that there is no water to the pump, it stops. If it senses water, it continues to run until the water is pumped down to 1/4″ deep, and then it stops. It then goes into a 7-minute quick-detection cycle, starting 4 times the first minute, twice the second minute, and once a minute for the next 5 minutes. If by the last check it has not detected water, it resumes its cycle (running 5 seconds every 2-1/2 minutes) until it senses water again.

The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the overload protector will stop the motor before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload protector will reset itself and the motor will restart.
The water being pumped cools the motor, allowing the pump to run continuously at any depth of water above 1/4″. However, if the motor overload stops the pump, allow it to cool for one hour before restarting. Motor will not restart before the overload has cooled.

AIRLOCKS
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and fail. This pump has an anti-airlock hole in the bottom of the pump body. If you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or piece of wire, and restart the pump.
