Overview

1. Function Description
2. Important Technical Specifications
3. Usage Features
4. Maintenance Features

The Teel Deep Well Submersible Pump is designed for use in 4-inch (or larger) interior diameter wells in home, farm, and industrial deep well applications. These units come with the pump and motor completely assembled. For three-wire units, a control box must be ordered separately.

Function Description:

The pump's primary function is to draw water from deep wells for domestic water systems. It is not intended for use in swimming pools or for pumping flammable liquids such as gasoline, fuel oil, or kerosene. The pump operates by being submerged in the well, pushing water up through discharge piping to a pressure tank or directly into the water system.

Important Technical Specifications:

The pumps are available in various horsepower (HP) ratings, stages, and GPM (gallons per minute) capacities, with different voltage requirements (115V or 230V) and corresponding service factor amps.

• HP Ratings: 1/3 HP, 1/2 HP, 3/4 HP, 1 HP, 1 1/2 HP.
• Stages: Ranging from 4 to 22 stages, depending on the model and GPM capacity.
• GPM Capacities: Available in 5 GPM, 10 GPM, and 20 GPM series.
• Voltage: 115V or 230V, 60 Hz.
• Discharge Opening: All models feature a 1 1/4" discharge opening.
• Control Box: Required for 3-wire units (e.g., 4P840, 4P841, 4P843, 4P844, 4P845, 4P846). 2-wire units do not require a separate control box.
• Discharge Material: Models 4RH01 thru 4RH06, 4RG76 thru 4RG84, 4RG94 thru 4RG97, and 4RG99 feature thermoplastic discharge. Models 4P847A thru 4P851A and 4P852 thru 4P856 feature cast iron discharge.
• Winding Resistance (Ohms): Varies by model, HP, and voltage, typically measured at 68°F. For 3-wire motors, readings include Main (Blk-Yel), Start (Red-Yel), and Total (Blk-Red).
• Load Current (Amps): Varies by model, HP, and voltage.
• Fuses: Standard and Dual Element fuses are specified for each model.
• Wire Size: Critical for proper operation, with charts provided for maximum distance in feet for various HP and voltage combinations, using AWG wire sizes #14 through #4. Using undersized wire can lead to low starting voltage, early pump failure, and void warranty.

Usage Features:

• Installation: Requires careful adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 250 for grounding to prevent electrical shock. The pump should be installed in a sand-free, straight well with sufficient water flow. Chlorination of the well before installation is recommended to prevent contamination.
• Control Box: For 3-wire pumps, the motor and control box horsepower and voltage must match exactly. The control box contains wiring diagrams and instructions for proper connection.
• Wiring: Electrical hookup should be performed by a qualified electrician. Power supply should be a separate circuit with adequate fusing and a disconnect box. Power cable must be protected from scratches, cuts, or abrasions and should not come into contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.
• Splicing: Underwater cable splices require butt connectors and plastic sleeves. Instructions emphasize making a watertight splice to prevent damage to motor windings or electrolytic deterioration.
• Pressure Tank Systems: Can be installed with standard air volume control tanks or pre-charged tanks (fixed diaphragm or bladder type). Pre-charged tanks simplify piping and have fewer moving parts.
• Safety: A pressure relief valve capable of passing full pump flow at 75 PSI must be installed between the pump and tank to prevent tank blowup. The system should not be allowed to freeze, as this can damage components and void the warranty. Disconnect electrical power before working on the motor, control box, or wiring.
• Performance: Performance charts provide gallons per minute at various vertical depths to water for 5 GPM, 10 GPM, and 20 GPM series pumps, helping users select the appropriate pump and tank size based on well conditions and water requirements. Suggested tank sizes are provided to ensure approximately 2-minute cycles at 80 ft depth to water; shallower wells may require a larger tank.

Maintenance Features:

• Pre-installation Check: Examine the pump for damage and ensure the check valve works properly. Verify electrical supply for correct fusing, wire size, transformer size, and adequate grounding.
• Insulation and Continuity Test: This test should be performed after splicing and during a test run in a barrel of water, and again after installation in the well but before final electrical hookup. An ohmmeter is used to check for insulation breakdown. Readings of 20,000 ohms or less indicate insulation breakdown, while readings between 20,000 and 500,000 ohms suggest cable or splice damage.
• Well Seal Check: Periodically check the well seal at the top of the well to prevent surface water contamination.
• Electrical Control Inspection: A competent serviceman should check the electrical controls at three-year intervals for preventive maintenance.
• Troubleshooting: A comprehensive chart helps diagnose common issues such as fuses blowing, motor running but delivering little or no water, or motor not starting. It provides possible causes (e.g., incorrect voltage, defective pressure switch, air-locked pump, low water level, worn pump) and corrective actions (e.g., checking wire size, replacing fuses, adjusting pressure switch, checking motor winding resistance).
• Control Box Test Chart: Provides procedures for general inspection, ground (insulation resistance) tests, capacitor tests, and triac/coil tests (for solid-state switches) to diagnose control box malfunctions.
• Motor Electrical Data: Includes winding resistance and load current specifications for various models, crucial for diagnosing motor issues.
• Waterlogged Tank: If a pre-charged tank system is used, the air chamber should be checked annually, and the air pressure maintained at 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in pressure. A waterlogged tank can lead to frequent pump cycling and premature motor failure.
