Boosting City Water Pressure
Risk of explosion. Hazardous pressure.
When using a garden hose as a discharge line, do not
run the pump with the hose outlet or the nozzle closed.
The hose or the nozzle may burst from excessive pres-
sure. See Figure 2. When using the pump as a high-pres-
sure washer, use only reinforced high pressure hose or
pipe for the discharge line.
When using a garden hose, install adapters on the pump
suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require
two female ends. Use a standard washing machine sup-
ply hose as a suction line (See Figure 1).
Lawn Sprinkling Application
Connect the suction hose to the faucet on the outside of
the house (see Figure 3) and to the pump suction. Use a
standard garden hose for discharge. The pump can sup-
ply up to 3-4 sprinklers (depending on GPM output of
the sprinklers).
Electrical
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Plug the pump into a 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected grounded outlet
only. The pump is equipped with a 3-wire, grounded,
cord and plug. Do not modify or remove the plug. Make
sure the pump circuit meets the National Electrical Code
(in USA) or the Canadian Electrical Code (in Canada). To
avoid dangerous electrical shock hazard, keep the cord
dry at all times.
If using an extension cord, use the table below to size
the extension cord.
Lubrication
The motor is lubricated at the factory for the life of
the bearings. The pump seal is water cooled and self
lubricating.
Pump Service
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Can shock, burn, or cause death. Unplug the pump
before servicing it. Do not handle the pump or attempt to
work on the pump with wet hands or while standing on
a wet or damp floor.
The motor has an auto-reset thermal overload protec-
tor. If the motor overheats, the overload will cut off the
power to prevent damage and will reset after the motor
cools. If the overload trips repeatedly, check the pump
for the cause (low voltage, a clogged impeller, etc.).
