ASSEMBlING ThE REDI-FlO VFD SYSTEM
Operating Conditions
To ensure the Redi-Flo Variable Performance Pumping system operates properly, follow these guidelines:
• The Redi-Flo2® or Redi-Flo4™ pump must be installed vertically with the discharge end pointed upwards.
• The electrical voltage supply to the Redi-Flo VFD must always be within + or - 10% of the specified power
supply
• For best performance when operating on a generator, 115V generators should be set at 120V without load
and 230V generators should be set at 240V without load. Use a separate meter to set voltage; do not rely on
built-in meters found on generators.
• The pump and motor must always be completely submerged in fluid to ensure
lubrication and cooling of the motor.
• The temperature of the fluid being pumped should be according to the technical
specifications shown in the motor specifications.
• The installation depth of the pump should always be at least three feet below the maximum drawdown level of
the well.
• Redi-Flo pumps are not recommended for well development or pumping fluid
containing abrasives.
• Redi-Flo2® pumps are not recommended for continuous operation applications.
• The warranty of the Redi-Flo pumps will be void if other than the Redi-Flo VFD is used or if corrosive fluids
are pumped.
• The service life of dedicated Redi-Flo pumps may be compromised if the ambient water quality exceeds one
or more of the following values:
pH<5 DO>2 ppm H2S>1 ppm CL->500 ppm TDS>1000 ppm
Adherence to Environmental Regulations
When handling and operating the Redi-Flo Variable Performance Pump system, all environmental regulations
concerning the handling of hazardous materials must be observed. When the pump is taken out of operation,
great care should be taken to ensure that the pump contains no hazardous materials that might cause injury to
human health or to the environment.
Purging a Well
If the pump is used to purge a well, start the pump at minimum speed and gradually increase to desired speed.
Redi-Flo products are not recommended for well development.
Generator Usage
Minimum generator size (Redi-Flo2/Redi-Flo4)
For generators with voltage regulation 2500/3400 watts at 115/230VAC, single phase
For generators without voltage regulation 5000/6700 watts at 115/230VAC, single phase
Recommended for optimal performance 4000/5400 watts at 115/230 VAC, single phase
with voltage regulation
