S-500 SERIES SUB. PUMP — GENERAL INFORMA TION
Introduction
The Multiquip Model S-500 series submersible pumps are
designed to pump water and is used for the draining (dewatering) of swimming pools, well casings construction sites,
cofferdams, manholes, transformer vaults and excavations.
A rubber type impeller is attached to the output shaft of a 0.5 HP
electric motor which provides adequate power for general
purpose pumping. This submersible pump is supplied complete
with an electric power cable, and a discharge port located at the
top of the pump which accepts a 2-inch hose.
This pump is ideal for portability because of its light weight and
carrying handle. For reliability and long life, a mechanical seal
provides shaft sealing, with an oil chamber separating the pump
section from the motor.
The pump when in use, should be installed as free standing
(upright position) on its strainer base. A 2-inch discharge hose
(not supplied) should be connected to the discharge port located
on top of the pump. The discharge hose should be adequately
supported to avoid stress on the pump.
For maximum water flo w , the discharge hose should be kept as
short as possible, and with minimum elevation above the pump.
Remember as the length and/or height of the discharge hose is
increased, the flow of water will be reduced. Also any reduction
in the hose size, and any fittings such as valves or outlet nozzles,
will restrict the water flow .
To avoid bac k-siphonage when the pump is switched off, ensure
that the end of the discharge hose is installed above the water
level at the final discharge point.
When the pump is switched off, the water remaining in the hose
will run back through the pump. This can be av oided by placing
a non-return valve in the hose nearest the pump.
NEVER use this submersible pump to pump flammable liquids
or operate in a explosive or flammable environment.
Avoid using this pump in conditions where mud, grit, silt or other
debris are present. These conditions could cause b lockage and
cause excessive pump w ear.
DO NOT install the pump directly into an area where there is a
heavy build-up of mud, grit, silt or debris. If this condition is present,
install the pump on a platform before operating.
This pump must always be positioned on a platform in an upright
position. NEVER operate the pump by a suspended rope. To
prevent large solids from entering the pump, install a wire mesh
screen or similar barrier around the pump.
If the pump was used to pump water containing mud, silt, use
clean water to flush out the pump after each use.
DO NOT allow the pump to run dry, as this will damage the
pump. During maintenance, dry running is permissible but only
for a few seconds.
NEVER lift the pump by its electrical power cord. ALWAYS lift
the pump by its carrying handle or attach a rope to the carrying
handle.
A pump fully submerged in liquid will not freeze, unless the liquid
freezes. DO NOT allow a partially submerged pump to freeze.
The expansion of water freezing in the volute may crack the
pump, causing expensive repairs. If there is any danger of the
pump being subjected to freezing temperatures, lift the pump
from water and allow it to drain thoroughly.
If the pump jams or the pump rotor locks for any reason,
disconnect the pump from the power source immediately.
Allowing the pump motor to cycle ON and OFF under an overload
condition can burn out the motor.
When replacement of nuts and bolts is required, use only
recommended parts as referenced in the parts section of this
manual. This pump uses
measurement threads.
Control Box Installation Warnings

S-500 SERIES SUB. PUMP — COMPONENTS
Figure 2. Submersible Pump Components
Figure 2 shows the location of the basic components, for the
S-500 series submersible pumps. Listed below is a brief
explanation of each component.
1.Strainer Base – This strainer base is made of stainless
steel which is resistant to hardware corrosion. DO NOT
pump large objects or debris with this pump. This pump is
for pumping water only. F or de-watering purposes, always
place the strainer base on a platform.
2.V olute/Impeller – Impellers are constructed of high-chrome
ductile iron to minimizes wear and prolong service life.
3.Electric Motor – All S-500 series submersible pumps utilize
a 60 Hz, single-phase, 115 VAC, 0.5 HP electric motor.
Consult with a
motor to a power source. Observe all city and local safety
codes.
4.Discharge Port – Connect a 2-inch hose to this port.
Remember to adequately support the discharge hose to
avoid stress on the pump.
5.AC Power Cable – This unit is supplied with a 25 ft.
(7.6 meters) AC power cable. Always check the cable for
signs of wear. NEVER! use a defective power cable.
Replace the cable immediately if the cable is worn or
defective.
S-500 SERIES SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS — OPERATION & PARTS MANUAL — REV. #0 (10/01/04) — PAGE 11
licensed electrician
before connecting
6.Carrying Handle – Always carry the submersible pump
by its handle. NEVER! carry the pump by its power cord.
Carrying or lifting the pump by the power cord, will cause
undue stress on the cord, and ultimately the cord will
become dislodged from the pump.
7.Thermal Overload Protection – This pump is equipped
with thermal overload protection that will shutdown the
motor in the event of high oper ating temperatures. The motor
will automatically restart once the temperature returns to
an acceptable operating temperature.
8.Mechanical Oil Seal – This oil filled seal provides
lubrication when running the pump dry. NEVER! run the
pump dry . Running the pump dry will cause sev ere damage
to the pump.
S-500 SERIES SUB. PUMP — FLO A T SWITCHES
Float Switch Theory
Mercury monitoring is a mercury-switch actuated, liquid level
control that has proven to be more economical and longer lasting
than other types of liquid-level control systems, easily replacing
and improving upon diaphragm switches, air bubble systems
and electromechanical switches most often relied upon in the
past.
How It Works
There is a tilt-sensitive mercury switch hermetically sealed within
each float. As the liquid level (water) rises or falls, the float changes
its angle until the mercury switch makes (closed, Figure 4) or

Figure 3. Pumping Range (Float Switch)
Pumping Range
The pumping range of the pump is determined by the float switch
tether cord. Use Table 3 as guideline to determine your required
pumping range. Pumping ranges are based on
non-turbulent
conditions. Range may vary due to water temperature and cord
shape. Please note as the tether length increases, so does the
variance of the pumping range.
