Preinstallation Information

1. Inspect your unit. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before using.

2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.

3. WARNING
   “Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by a qualified and licensed  electrician.

4. WARNING
   Do not lift, carry, or hang pump by the electrical cables. Damage to the electrical cables can cause shock, burns or death.

5. WARNING
   For your protection, make certain the pump ground wire is properly connected to the ground wire with the incoming power line. Test for ground at the junction box using an Underwriters Laboratory listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected. If in doubt, call a qualified licensed electrician.

6. WARNING
   Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION  CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. But, more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation  were to become damaged or the connection end were to get wet.

7. WARNING
   Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate  branch circuit is recommended, and sized according to the “National Electrical Code” for the current shown on the pump nameplate.

8. WARNING
   DO NOT run the pump dry. DO NOT run the pump with a completely closed discharge. DO NOT pump chemical or corrosive liquids. Failure to follow above warnings could result in damage to the pump, voiding the warranty and causing personal injury.

9. CAUTION

10. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump nameplate.

11. The installation of pumps using auxiliary variable level float switches is the responsibility of the installing party. Care should be taken such that the tethered float switch will not hang up and are secured so that the pump will turn on and off properly.

12. CAUTION
    Water hammer creates momentary high pressure surges. These surges can cause severe damage to check valves and the piping system. Consideration for water hammer must be included in the piping system design. Reference ASPE Data Book, Chapter 2.33. Some systems may require external spring or lever weighted check valves or other engineered solutions.

13. CAUTION
    In cold climates the discharge pipe may be subject to freezing. If the riser on the septic tank is above the frost line, it will be necessary to protect the system from freeze up. The discharge  pipe can be insulated or the check valve can be removed. If the check valve is removed, the “on-off” cycle must be adjusted for any back-flow from the discharge line.

Major Components

1. Submersible Turbine Effluent Pump – A submersible turbine effluent pump is a multistage centrifugal design pump. Each stage consists of an impeller and diffuser. Water pressure increases in equal amounts as it passes from stage to stage. The more stages, the higher the pressure the pump will develop.
   To correctly select a pump for a specific application, the following information must be known:

   • The amount of discharge required in GPM or LPM
   • The total dynamic head required in feet or meters Use this information along with the performance data found on the previous page to make your selection.

2. Controls – Submersible turbine effluent pumps require the use of an above ground control panel or junction box with a pump control switch for proper operation. Operation of these pumps without a control panel or junction box with a pump control switch can result in failure of the pump and void the warranty. At least three elevations must be determined to control a pump within a given tank or basin: pump on level, pump off level and high water alarm level.

3. Piping – The submersible turbine effluent pump can be installed with schedule 40 PVC pipe. The pipe size should be 1-1/4” diameter for the 11 GPM to 27 GPM pump series and 2” diameter for the 35 85 GPM pump series
   General piping from the pump to a splitter, distribution box, drain field etc., should be the same diameter as stated above. For long pipe runs consult friction loss tables for correct pipe sizing.

4. Check Valve – A check valve is required in all duplex systems. It is also required when a large amount of effluent can backflush into the system causing rapid cycling of the pump.
   When using a check valve for 11-27 gallons per minute pumps, drill 1/8” diameter weep hole 3/4″ maximum depth in discharge 3/4″ directly above either shell screw. For 35-85 gallons per minute pumps, drill 1/8″ diameter weep hole 3/4″ maximum depth 1 1/4″ from top of discharge (see below drawing for hole locations).

5. 2 HP and 3 HP single phase pumps in 5034 and 5035 series include a capacitor box.

Pump Installation and Wiring Diagram

1. Submersible turbine effluent pumps may be installed in any application where relatively clear effluent, such as from a dosing tank or high head STEP system etc., is being pumped.
2. Pumps should always be installed vertically. Pumps should never be installed horizontally.
3. Because of their low temperature rise, pumps under 2 HP do not require a flow inducer sleeve.
4. Mount the junction box, if applicable, in its permanent position and run prewired conduit, or equivalent submersible cable from the junction box to a fused disconnect or, if applicable, the control panel.
5. Feed the pump power cord and float switch cords into the junction box, or alternately to the panel if longer cords are used.
6. If a junction box is used, make the connections in the junction box using the wiring diagrams below. If you are using a control panel or a filtered STEP system, follow the wiring diagrams and instructions included with them.
7. An alarm should be used with any system using a pump. Follow the wiring diagram with the alarm for installation and check your local codes.
8. Run the appropriate power to the control panel from a fused (circuit breaker) disconnect. The appropriate power supply information may be found on the pump nameplate.
9. To provide a suitable ground, a separate ground wire (green or bare) at least as large as the line conductors is required. It is connected from the electrical disconnect box to the control panel, to the junction box, capacitor box or starter and to the green ground wire of the submersible motor lead.
10. Always disconnect all power when installing or servicing the pump.
11. Please note that if using a 230V 2 or 3 HP pump with capacitor box, make sure a jumper wire is used from SW to L2.

Splicing Underground Wires

Splicing of wires to be buried must be done according to the National Electrical Code. Wire connectors or splicing agents installed on conductors for direct burial shall be listed for such use.

Typical Installations
ALL INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE A FILTER BEFORE THE PUMP.

Start-up and Maintenance

Before placing the equipment into operation the following must be checked:

• Septic tank and/or pump chamber should be pumped and cleaned prior to installation in existing system.
• Septic tank and/or pump chamber must be watertight.
• Installation needs to be according to instructions.
• Installation should include an easy access riser and tamper resistant lid.
• Filter assembly needs to be in place and secure.
• Float tree needs to be in place, secure and adjusted for proper cycling.
• Make sure float switches are free to move within the basin.
• Be sure electrical connections are watertight and conform to the Uniform Building Code and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
• Fill the septic tank and/or pump chamber with water and check the system for operation.

After installing the pump into the containment area with adequate submergence, open the discharge valve fully. Start the unit using manual controls. If flow is appreciably less than rated performance, pump may be air locked. To expel trapped air, jog the unit several times, using the manual controls. Have a qualified electrician take voltage and current measurements on the black wire of single phase. Record these readings in the space provided in the “Owner’s Information” section on the front this manual for future reference. Be sure to complete all items such as installing the lid on the riser, securely closing the control panel, and checking the system operation before placing the system into service.
Routine maintenance should include:

• Service filter in STEP system and/or septic tank.
• Clean pump screen.
• Make sure the check valve is functioning properly.
• Check wire connections.
• Make sure the weep hole is clear.
• Make sure the float switches are free to move within the basin.
• Make sure there are no leaks in the plumbing.
• Make sure there is no excessive noise while the pump is  running.

Troubleshooting and Service Checklist

WARNING
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS- Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump – making sure you are not standing in water and wearing insulated protective sole shoes. Under flooded conditions, contact your local electric company or a qualified licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.

open or incorrect wiring, open switch, impeller or seal bound mechanically, defective capacitor or relay when used, motor or wiring shorted. Float assembly held down. Switch defective, damaged, or out of adjustment. Make sure a jumper wire is added between SW and L2 on capacitor box.
Motor overheats and trips overload or blows fuse.| Incorrect voltage, negative head (discharge open lower than normal), impeller or seal bound mechanically, or relay, motor shorted.
Pump starts and stops too often.| Check valve stuck or none installed in long distance line, overload open, level switch(es) defective, sump pit too small, leak in the system.
