Debris will clog pump and void warranty.
7. Failure to protect pump and piping
from freezing could cause severe
damage and will void the warranty.
8. Do not run pump dry. Follow priming instructions.
Installation
Protect pump from the elements by
installing in a basement, garage, tool
shed or pump house. Install the pump so
the centerline of the pump is as close as
possible to the water level. Keep installation area clear to provide access for service and maintenance. Protect the pump
against flooding and excess moisture.
Make sure the pump has adequate ventilation. The surrounding temperature
should not exceed 100oF (38oC) or nuisance tripping of the motor may occur.
PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION
Use new pipe for best results.
Galvanized or plastic pipe can be used.
When using galvanized pipe, provide
independent supports for both suction
and discharge piping near the pump to
avoid strain on the pump. Minimize use
of elbows and fittings to reduce friction
loss. Refer to the friction loss chart for
specific information.
Increase diameter of suction or discharge piping if length is over 50 feet.
SUCTION PIPING
Install foot valve
or strainer screen
over intake of suction piping.
Never use pipe smaller than 2” in
diameter for suction piping. The suction pipe must be kept free of air leaks.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Installation (Continued)
For horizontal runs, lay pipe from the
water source so the upward slope is at
least 1/2” per foot. This eliminates
trapped air. The threaded inlet of the
pump is 2” NPT.
Do not install suction piping near
swimming areas.
DISCHARGE PIPING
Install a 1-1/2” pipe tee in the pump
discharge to allow easy priming. Plug
the end of the tee opposite the pump
to allow the branch piping to go to the
spray nozzles (See Figure 1). Remove
the pipe plug to fill the pump with
water for priming.
CONNECTION TO WATER SOURCE
The maximum vertical suction lift from
pump to the water level is 25 feet.
DRILLED WELL
1. Install a foot valve on the first section of pipe (see Figure 2).
2. Lower the pipe into the well.
3. Add pipe until the foot valve is 10
feet below the lowest anticipated
water level.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow
air to leak into the pipe and cause poor
pump operation. Make sure to use
pipe joint compound or Teflon®tape on
all pipe connections.
Locate foot valve
no closer than 2
feet from the bottom of the well so
sand or sediment is not drawn into the
system.
4. After the proper depth is reached,
install a well seal or pitless adapter
to support the pipe.
5. Slope the horizontal pipe upward
toward the pump to eliminate trapping air.
6. When using a foot valve, a priming
tee and plug above the well seal is
recommended.
DRIVEN WELL
1. Drive the point several feet below
the water table.
NOTE: A packer-type foot valve can be
installed in the well (See Figure 3). This
type of foot valve allows the well pipe
to be filled with water when priming
and makes the inlet pipe much easier
to test for leaks. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the
packer-type foot valve.
As an alternative, an in-line check valve
can be used with a driven well (See
Figure 4).
It may be necessary to supply the
pump with multiple well points to
maintain the high flow capability of
this pump. Consult with a plumbing
professional for appropriate materials
and installation instructions.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow
air to leak into the pipe and cause poor
pump operation. Make sure to use
pipe joint compound or Teflon®tape on
all pipe connections.

Operation
Never run the
pump dry. Running
pump without water may cause seal
damage. Fill the pump with water
before starting.
PRIMING THE PUMP
After pump installation is complete,
the pump must be primed. Remove the
pipe plug in the discharge piping and
fill the pump and suction pipe with
clean water. Turn power to pump on. If
the pump does not pump water in 10
minutes, turn off the pump and refill
with clean water.
If the pump does not operate after
repeated attempts, check the following:
1. Vertical distance of pump to water
level must not be over 25 feet.
2. Suction piping must be air tight.
3. Be sure valve(s) are open if used in
discharge or suction piping.
Never run the
pump with a
closed or clogged discharge. The water
inside the pump could boil and damage
the pump.
Maintenance
Maintain adequate ventilation for the
pump motor. The motor bearings are
permanently lubricated at the factory.
Additional lubrication is not required.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Dug Well, Cistern, Lake And
Spring Installation
1. Install a foot valve on the inlet pipe
and lower into the water.
Locate foot valve
no closer than 2
feet from the bottom of the water
source so sand or sediment is not
drawn into the system.
NOTE: When a lake is used for the
water supply, make sure the suction
pipe is deep enough to be submerged
at all times. Slope the pipe upward
toward the pump to eliminate trapping air. The pipe must be removed
during winter months or protected
against freezing.
Protect the pipe
from damage by
swimmers and boaters.
Electrical Connections
Connect the pump to a separate electrical circuit with a dedicated circuit
breaker. Refer to the electrical specifications in wiring chart for recommended circuit breaker and wire size.
Install and maintain wiring for this
pump in accordance with the National
Electrical code and all applicable local
electrical codes.
The motor must be grounded by connecting a copper conductor to the
grounding screw provided within the
wiring compartment.
The voltage of power supply must
match the voltage of the pump. The
BWLS75, BWLS100 and BWLS150 have
dual voltage motors preset at the factory to 230 volts. The motors can be
converted to 115 volts by turning the
voltage selector to the desired voltage
(See Figure 5). Use a needle nose pliers
to pull the selector out approximately
1/4”, rotate and then reinsert in correct
position. The BWLS200 cannot be
converted; the motor is 230 volts
only.
