INTRODUCTION

You have purchased one of the most user friendly pumps available. The Turf Boss pumps are made with high quality materials which are designed to provide you with years of reliable service. Lawn sprinklers are designed to maximize output ﬂ ow, while still maintaining the ability to draw water from a source up to 25 feet below the pump. All mechanical parts, motor, impeller, electrical controls, etc., are above ground within easy reach. If service is ever necessary, simple hand tools will do the job. This lawn sprinkler pump installs easily and quickly without the need for special tools or pump rigs. You can install it yourself provided you follow closely the instructions contained in this manual.

INSPECT YOUR SHIPMENT

All Turf Boss lawn sprinkler pumps are carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to insure their arrival in perfect condition. When the pump is received, examine it closely to make sure there is no damage or broken parts that may have occurred in shipping. If damage is evident, report this immediately to your shipping carrier and dealer. This shipping carrier assumes full responsibility for the shipment’s safe arrival. Any claim for damage to the shipment, either visible or concealed, must be made through the shipping carrier ﬁ rst.

CAUTION

DO NOT touch an operating motor. The surface of the motor may be HOT. Allow the motor to cool for thirty (30) minutes before handling.

GENERAL SAFETY

• Do not allow pump or any system component to

freeze. To do so will void the warranty.

• This pump has been evaluated for pumping

water only. Pumping liquids other than water may void warranty.

• Periodically inspect pump and system components.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK

• Pump must not be more than 25 feet above the

surface of the water.

• Use as few elbows and ﬁ ttings as possible to

reduce friction and maximize ﬂ ow.

• Be sure pipe, ﬁ ttings, and foot valve are clean

and free of debris.

• There should be no air pockets or leaks in the

suction pipe.

• Teﬂ on tape should be used to seal threaded pipe

connections.

INSTALLATION TIPS

• Wrap all threaded male pipe ends and ﬁ ttings with teﬂ on tape. This will ensure a good seal around all pipe connections.

• PVC Pipe Connections: Use

PVC pipe primer on all glue joints before applying PVC cement. After applying PVC cement to both surfaces to be glued, connect pipe and ﬁ tting, turn pipe one-quarter turn and hold for 30 seconds. This will ensure a positive cementing of all joints.

INSTALLATION

LOCATION OF PUMP

Decide on an area for the pump installation that is suitable based on the enclosure rating of the electric pump motor. All Turf Boss pumps are UL778 approved and will be marked “ACCEPTABLE FOR OUTDOOR or INDOOR USE.”

• INDOOR PUMP INSTALLATION OPTION: Choose a clean, well-ventilated, weatherproof location that affords protection from freezing, ﬂ ooding, and excessive heat. In addition, it should provide access for servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump and service pipes. A prepared foundation is not essential, provided the surface is hard and level. It can be located in the basement or utility room of your house, at the well or between the point of use and the well.

• OUTDOOR PUMP INSTALLATION OPTION: When installing outside of the house, the pump should be protected by a pump house with auxiliary heat to prevent possible freezing.

Choose a clean location best suited for the water system. A prepared foundation is not essential, provided the surface is hard and level. It should provide access for servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump and service pipes. When installing outside of the house, the pump and piping system must be drained completely of water to prevent possible freezing when weather dictates.

Decide how to seal the well from surface contamination as required by local authorities. The most common device for this purpose is the SANITARY WELL SEAL. If the pipes from the well have to be kept below the frost line, either bury the wellhead or use a PITLESS ADAPTER that leaves the wellhead exposed for servicing while providing sealed openings in the well casing below the frost line.

Following are three well and water source

applications for the Turf Boss sprinkler pump. Wells may differ slightly but the application is essentially the same.

Single Shallow Well (Figure 1)

The single shallow well is typically a drilled well with a 4" or 6" steel or plastic casing running vertically into the ground. The surface of the water should not exceed 25 feet in depth.

Connect the foot valve to the ﬁ rst length of suction pipe and lower into well. Add pipe sections as needed, securing them using one of the sealing methods previously mentioned. The foot valve should be AT LEAST ﬁ ve feet below the surface of the water to allow for water draw down.

Seal the top of the 4" or 6" well casing with a well seal to prevent debris from falling into the well.

Multi-shallow Well Points (Figure 2)

The multi-point shallow well conﬁ guration consists of two or more wells as a water supply. The wells should be at least ﬁ ve feet apart. The wells may be spaced as a straight line (two or more wells), a triangle (three wells), or a square (four wells).

Install a check valve or a ﬁ ne screen well point on each well to ensure the pump maintains prime. The ﬂ ow arrow on a check valve must point toward the pump.

PLUMBING

Bolt the pump to a level, solid foundation, if possible. Position the pump with the suction port facing the water source pipe(s). Avoid 90º angles whenever possible and minimize turns when connecting pump to your water source. Install the pump as close to the water source as possible. This will help reduce friction and maximize water pressure.

Figure 2

Lake Or Pond Installation (Figure 3)

Using a surface water source such as a lake or pond is similar to using a single shallow well. The suction pipe is placed in the water source and leads back to the pump. This application may require a long horizontal distance between water source and pump.

Figure 3

HORIZONTAL OFFSET SUCTION PIPING

When the pump is offset from the well, the horizontal offset suction piping may have to be increased in diameter to reduce friction loss. The friction loss in a system increases:

1.) As the ﬂ ow rate increases

2.) As the piping size decreases

Consult included Turf Boss performance tables (Appendix III) and friction loss tables (Appendix IV) to determine the amount of head lost for a given application. Pipes from the well to the pump should slope upward (about 1” of rise for every 30” of run).

DISCHARGE PIPE SIZES FOR INSTALLATION

When the pump is located at a distance from points of water use, it is necessary to increase the discharge pipe size in order to reduce friction loss. The friction loss in a system increases:

1.) As the ﬂ ow rate increases

2.) As the piping size decreases

Consult included Turf Boss performance tables (Appendix III) and friction loss tables (Appendix IV) to determine the amount of head lost for a given application.

FOOT VALVE

The suction pipe size should increase by one size to minimize pressure loss caused by friction from pipe distance.

Place a foot valve at the end of the suction pipe to protect the pump from debris.

A. Suction Port Connection (Figure 4)

B. Discharge Port Connections (Figure 5)

Step 1:

Attach the foot valve or well point to pipe assembly

and lower pipe and foot valve until it is at least ﬁ ve

feet below the water level. If you are using a well,

temporarily clamp the pipe to the well casing to

prevent the pipe from sliding into the well. If well is

in a 4" or 6" casing, use a well seal at the surface.

Never use a suction pipe size smaller than the size

of the suction port on the pump.

Step 2:

Connect the necessary elbows, ﬁ ttings, check

valves, and pipe from the water to the pump suction

port on front of pump. When using PVC, pre-

assemble pipe and ﬁ ttings to the pump BEFORE

applying PVC cement to ensure proper cuts and

inventory. Use teﬂ on tape on all male threads,

wrapping clockwise (when facing pipe) 1 to 2 layers

thick. Tighten all threaded pipe ﬁ ttings until snug.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN PIPE AND FITTINGS!!

Tighten joints hand tight plus 1/2 turn with

pipe wrench.

Step 1:

Thread male adapter or pipe nipple into discharge port on top of pump. (Use teﬂ on tape on thread)

Step 2:

Connect pipe between the sprinkler manifold and the pump discharge. Discharge pipe size should increase with long pipe runs. Discharge pipe size may equal discharge port size for distances up to 100'. Increase discharge pipe size by one size for distances of 100' to 300'. For 300' to 600', increase pipe size by two sizes. This will reduce pressure loss caused by friction.

B. Pump Disassembly (Appendix I & Figure 9)

In order to access the internal components of the pump, review the exploded diagram of the pump assembly as shown on the repair parts page(Appendix I). Drain the pump as described above and then remove the four bolts that hold the pump case to the motor bracket. This will allow the motor and hydraulic sub-assembly to be removed from the case without disturbing the plumbing. Locate and inspect the diaphragm and grommet which are internal water seals. Make sure they are in good condition and are working properly. To remove the diffuser, loosen the 3 bolts that attach it to the motor bracket. This will expose the impeller and eye-seal. Remove the eye-seal and then, in order to remove the impeller, securely hold the motor shaft with a pair of vice grips to prevent any unwanted rotation. Turn the impeller counter-clockwise (when facing impeller) to remove and this will reveal the mechanical shaft seal. This seal can then be removed from the motor shaft for inspection. The motor bracket can be removed from the motor by removing the 4 bolts on the backside of the motor bracket. To remove the ceramic shaft seal, press gently from the backside on the ceramic and it will fall out easily. Inspect, clean or replace parts as needed.

to insure a proper ﬁ t. Place the shaft seal on the motor shaft and then install the impeller and eye-seal. The diffuser is positioned by three bolts that can only be installed when the diffuser is oriented properly (Figure

9). Position the diaphragm on the diffuser suction eye. (as shown in Figure 9). The grommet will slide over the diffuser eye on top of the diaphragm. Lift the motor assembly up into the pump case and attach it using the 4 bolts. When seating the pump case against the motor bracket, the diaphragm should be captivated between them around the entire perimeter. This allows the diaphragm to serve as a water seal between the two cast iron parts. If the diaphragm is not positioned correctly the unit will leak once the case is ﬁ lled with water. Tighten all bolts to 185 in-lbs in a diagonal pattern to insure proper seating of all components.
