REMOTE SINK/DRAIN PUMP SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. Connect the sink drain into the intake on the remote sink/drain pump system.
2. Connect the discharge pipe from the remote sink/drain pump system to the discharge
pipe (sold separately) using the check valve included in the remote sink/drain pump
system.
3. Connect the vent pipe of the remote sink/drain pump system to the vent pipe (sold
separately) using a union (sold separately).
4. Test your installation after you have completed setting up the remote sink/drain
pump system. Plug the cord from the pump into the piggyback plug of the float
switch, and then plug that into your grounded outlet. The pump should not run at
this point. If the pump runs, the switch is stuck in the upright position or the pump is
plugged directly into the outlet and not through the piggyback switch plug. Fill the
sump basin with water using buckets or a hose. When the switch floats to the
upright position, the pump will turn on. The switch will turn off the pump when it
reaches the down position. You may adjust the switch to meet your particular
needs. Remember the switch must swing freely without touching the sides of the
sump basin. NOTE: The cut out (turn off) setting is the only adjustment available on
vertical type switches.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
HOW TO CORRECT
If the pump does not
start or run
 Pump is not plugged in, switch or
breaker is off
 Plug pump in or turn on
switch/breaker
 Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit
breakers or tripped GFCI outlets
 Replace fuse, reset breaker, reset
GFCI outlet
 Float switch is defective
 Check and replace if necessary
 Motor thermal protector tripped
 Allow pump to cool. Pump will reset
 Float switch is stuck or obstructed
 Remove obstruction or position pump
so it will not become stuck
The pump starts and
stops too often
 Backflow of water from discharge
hose/pipe
 Install or replace check valve
 Float switch is defective
 Replace float switch
If the pump runs but
moves little or no water
 Clogged intake screen
 Clean or replace screen
 Clogged discharge hose/pipe
 Remove clog
 Frozen discharge hose/pipe
 Allow hose/pipe to thaw
 Pump is air locked
 Clean out airlock hole with a paper
clip or pipe cleaner
 Low line voltage
 Check wire size and increase if
necessary
 Check valve is stuck in the closed
position
 Inspect, repair or replace if necessary
 Check valve is installed backwards
 Make sure valve is installed in the
correct direction of flow
 Worn, damaged or clogged pump parts
 Inspect for wear, damage or clog and
clean or replace if necessary
 Discharge head exceeds pump
capacity
 If pumping height is over 25’, the
pump will not move water. See
performance chart
Pump does not
shut off
 Float switch is obstructed or stuck
 Remove obstruction
 Defective Float Switch
 Replace switch
