QP- 2TE — GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICATION
QP-2TE Trash Pump
The
is designed to be used for dewatering
applications. Both the suction and discharge ports on the QP2TE trash pump use a 2-inch diameter opening, which allows
the pump to pump at a rate of approximately 211 gallons/minute
(gpm) or 800 liters/minute (lpm).
Trash or self-priming pumps are designed to purge air from the
suction line and create a partial vacuum in the pump body. The
reduced atmospheric pressure inside the pump allows water to
flow through the suction line and into the pump body. The
centrifugal force created by the rotating impeller pressurizes the
Elevation
Higher elevations will effect the performance of the pump. Due to
less atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, pumps DO NOT
have the priming ability that they have at sea level. This is due to
the “thinner air” or lack of oxygen at higher altitudes.
A general rule of thumb is that for every 1,000 feet of elevation
above sea level a pump will lose one foot of priming ability.
For example, in Flagstaff, Arizona where the elevation is
approximately 7,000 feet, the pump would have a suction lift of
25 feet rather than the 18 feet at sea level. Table 3 shows suction
lift at various elevations.

The advantage of using a trash pump is that it can be quickly and
easily disassembled in the field "
without tools
" and easily
cleaned when clogged.
Suction Lift
This pump is intended to be used for dewatering applications
and is capable of suction lifts up to 25 feet at sea level. For
optimal suction lift performance, keep the suction hose or line as
short as possible. In general, always place the pump as close to
the water as possible.
Pump Support
The pump should always be placed on
solid stationary ground
in a level position.
NEVER place the pump on
soft soil
. The suction hose or pipe
connection should always be checked for tightness and leaks. A
small suction leak in the hose or fittings could prevent the pump
from priming.

QP- 2TE — PUMP COMPONENTS
Figure 2 shows a typical application using the QP- 2TE Trash pump. Please note that this pump is intended for the removal of clean
water and water containing some debris and solids. Maximum size of solids should not exceed 1.0 inch (25 mm) in diameter. DO
NOT set strainer on bottom of water bed. Placing the strainer above the water bed will prevent the pump from drawing in excessive
amounts of sand and foreign debris.
Figure 2. QP- 2TE Pump Application
1. Pump – The model QP- 2TE is a 2-inch trash pump used
in general dewatering applications. Typical dewatering
applications consist of manholes, septic tanks, fast and
slow seepage ditch water, silt water, mud water and muck
water.
2. Fill Cap – Prior to operation, the pump casing should be
filled with water. Remove this cap to add water to the pump.
After the initial prime, a sufficient amount of water will be
retained in the casing so that the operator will not need to
re-prime later.
If the casing is dry or has insufficient water, the pump will
have difficulty in priming which could lead to premature
mechanical seal wear thus causing damage to the pump.
3. Discharge Port – Connect a 2-inch discharge hose to this
port.
4. Worm Clamp – Used to secure the hose to the inlet and
outlet ports on the pump. Use two clamps to secure the
hose on the inlet side of the pump.
5. Discharge Hose – Connect this flexible rubber hose to
the discharge port on the pump. Make sure that the hose
lays flat and is not kinked. Use only recommended type
