Water Supply Checklist
Pre-Installation 4 Point Checklist
BEFORE installing, use this checklist to verify each item below. Record
each item in the space provided. Improper installation will result in reduced
pumping capacity or pump may not operate at all.
1. Household Water Pressure:
Minimum Pressure: 40 lbs. PSI Maximum Pressure: 90 lbs. PSI
Compensate for normal pressure loss from test point to pump location.
Tee in before Pressure Regulator Valve (PRV) when possible unless incoming municipal
water pressure exceeds 90 Lbs. PSI.
2. Household Water Flow:
This test is performed at an outdoor spigot without the hose connected. You must be able
to fill 5 gallons into a bucket in 40 seconds or less. If it takes longer, you may have a
restriction that must be bypassed.
3. Type of Piping:
Use ¾” Copper, CPVC, or PEX. Do not connect to or use galvanized iron pipe. If
absolutely necessary ½” may be used on RB750, only.
Note: If using ½” tubing (RB750 only), use a ¾” x ½” reducer.
4. Pipeline Restrictions:
Pump should be teed-in before these devices that restrict water flow: stop & waste valves,
globe-type valves, and some Pressure Regulator Valves (PRV).
Basepump MUST tee in before water softeners, conditioners, and/or water filters.
Water meter must be minimum 5/8” or 3/4" standard.
Average Pumping Rates:
RB750 pumps 750 GPH or approximately 1/3 the capacity of an electric sump pump at 2,000 GPH.
HB1000 pumps 1,000 GPH or approximately 1/2 the capacity of an electric sump pump at 2,000 GPH.
CB1500 pumps 1500 GPH or approximately 2/3 the capacity of an electric sump pump at 2,000 GPH.
