DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Myers ME and MW series pumps are available in both a single
seal as well as a double seal design with leak detector. The
ME50-ME150 models are designed for effluent dosing, Septic
Tank Effluent Pumping (S.T.E.P.) or normal sump and general
dewatering applications where higher pressure is required.
These units are designed to handle ¾” spherical solids.
The MWH50-MW200 models are designed for raw sewage
applications and can pass 2” spherical solids. These units can
also be used for sump and general dewatering applications
where larger solids capabilities are required.
When used in effluent dosing or S.T.E.P. applications, the pump
must be installed in a separate tank or compartment at the
discharger side of the septic tank. Never install pump in tank
where sludgecollects.
These pumps are available in single phase and three phase,
and either in single seal or double seal with seal leak detector.
All three phase units, all double seal units and all duplex
installations must be used with a control box. All power cords
and seal leak detector cords are 20 feet long.
The ME model impellers are enclosed two vane type to handle
¾” spherical solids and are available made of engineered
thermoplastic or optional naval bronze. All pumps have a 2” NPT
discharge tapping.
single phase pumps can be made automatic by attaching MFLC
or MFS controls to the pump. These switches have a fixed draw
off level of 8 to 10 inches and can be used up to 1 HP. For higher
horsepower ratings two mercury switches (or SMNO) controls
with a magnetic starter can be used. Simplex systems may
also use on/off pilot mercur y control switches (when permitted
by code) with control box and magnetic starter. The ALC and
AWS-1 controls can be used for simplex single phase pumps with
ratings up to 2 HP. All duplex systems must use pilot mercur y
control switches with control box and magnetic starters.
Plug-in cords can be used on all the single phase pumps with
a single seal (does not have a seal leak detector). This cord
has a GROUND pin that plugs into a grounded receptacle. The
grounded receptacle cannot be used in the wet sump or basin
due to DANGER of current leakage. Sealed junction boxes must
be used in wet sumps or basins to make connections to motor
cord. The AWS-1 control also acts as a sealed junction box for
connecting power cord to pump cord.
DOUBLE SEAL PUMPS
All pumps in this series “ME—D” or “MW—D” have two seals with
an oil chamber between the seals so that the seal faces of
both the lower and upper seals are oil lubricated for longer life
and greater protection against water leaking into the motor
windings. These double seal units are all made with a seal leak
de tector.
The MW model impellers are enclosed two vane non-clog
style, designed to handle 2” spherical solids. The MW pumps
are available with standard cast iron or optional naval bronze
impellers.
These pumps are NOT for use in swimming pools orfountains.
AIR LOCKING
A sump pump is said to be air locked if water traps air in the
pump and it cannot get out, thus preventing the pump from
operating.
In installation of this type a 1/8” hole should be drilled in the
discharge pipe just above the pump discharge and a check valve
should be installed 12 to 18 inches above pump discharge. Do not
put check valve directly into pump discharge opening - follow
local code.
PACKAGING
Each pump is packaged separately in a carton marked with a
catalog number and the Myers engineering number.
LEVEL CONTROLS
All pumps must use sealed level control switches for automatic
operation. MLC and MFLC controls have sealed switches that
are 1 HP rated at 230 volts. ALC and AWS-1 controls have sealed
mechanical switches that are rated 2 HP at 230 volts.Simplex
The leak detector in the oil seal chamber detects any water
leakage into the chamber and turns on a red signal light in
the control panel. Pumps should be removed from the sump
and seals replaced after the seal light shows in the panel.
Control panels must be used for pumps having the seal leak
detectors, and seal leak detectors must be wired as illustrated
in theseinstructions.
D ESIGN OF PRESSURE SEWER SYSTEMS
MYERS has available complete computer SOFTWARE for
designing PRESSURE SEWER SYSTEMS. This gives pipe sizes to
use and gives exact flow from any pump or group of pumps in the
system when operating simultaneously. This design DISK for IBM
or COMPATIBLE computers is available to engineers onrequest.

INSTALLATION
MOTOR TYPE
Motors are ¾ frame, 1/2 – 2HP single or three phase, 60 Hertz,
3450 R.P.M. with class B insulation. All single phase motors are
permanent split-capacitor (PSC) type with built-in on-winding
overload protection and do not require a start switch or start
relay. The three phase pump motors require a magnetic starter
with 3 leg overload protection. All motors have upper and lower
ball bearings and all are oil-cooled and lubricated.
Breathing hazard. Basin or tank must be vented in
accordance with local plumbing codes. These pumps are not
designed for and CANNOT be installed in locations classified as
hazardous in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/
NFPA 70.
Never enter pump chamber after sewage or effluent
has been in basin. Sewage water can give off methane,
hydrogen sulfide and other gases which are highly
poisonous.
Myers recommends installing ME series effluent pumps with
a quick removal system. The quick removal system may be a
union or quick-release coupling if the pipe or discharge hose
is within reach from the surface, or a rail system type quick
disconnect on deeper installations. See installation drawings for
suggestedinstallation.
The dosing tank or pumping chamber must be constructed
of corrosion resistant materials and must be capable of
withstanding all anticipated internal and external loads. It also
must not allow infiltration or exfiltration. The tank must have
provisions for anti-buoyancy. Access holes or covers must be
of adequate size and be accessible from the surface to allow
for installation and maintenance of the system. Access covers
must be lockable or heavy enough to prevent easy access
by unauthorized personnel. The pumping chamber holding
capacity should be selected to allow for emergency conditions.
The discharge pipe must be the same size as the pump
discharge (2 inches) or larger. In order to insure sufficient fluid
velocity to prevent any residual solids from collecting in the
discharge pipe, it is recommended that a minimum flow of 2 feet
per second be maintained. (21 GPM through 2” pipe and 46 GPM
through 3” pipe). It is recommended that PVC or equal pipe is
used for corrosion resistance.
A full flow (ball or gate) shut off valve must be installed to
prevent back flow of effluent if the pump must be removed for
service. A check valve must be installed on pressure sewer
systems and on other systems where conditions allow to
prevent backflow and to reduce wear on the pump system.
A high water alarm must be installed on a separate circuit from
the pump circuit. The alarm should have the ability to be tested
for proper operation.
S PECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THREE PHASE PUMPS
1. Myers recommends three phase pumps to be installed by
qualified personnel.
2.
strain relief. Do not connect conduit topump.
3. Three phase pumps are always installed with control boxes
having magnetic starters with 3 leg overload protection. DO
NOT TRY TO RUN THREE PHASE PUMPS DIRECTLY ACROSS
THE LINE.
4. To Connect Pump: Run wire from pump to the bottom
of control box or appropriate junction box suitable for
enclosing splice connections. A hole must be cut into the
control box for the wires. With power to control box off,
connect green (ground) line to ground lug. Connect black
(power) wires to power lead terminals.Note: for a typical CE
style control box, these terminals are marked M1, M2 and
M3. Make sure that all wires are inside control box and not in
a position to be pinched or shorted when the door is closed.
Risk of electric shock. Do not remove cord and

MAINTENANCE
BEFORE DISMANTLING PUMP FOR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Clean pump thoroughly. Knock off all scale and deposits. Use
sandblast if possible. Submerge complete unit in dilute bleach
solution for one hour beforedisassembly.
TO REPLACE CAPACITORS ONLY
All of the single phase motors are of the permanent split
capacitor type and have no relays or starting switch. They have
only a starting capacitor that is in the circuit for both starting
and running conditions.
1. Remove oil fill plug near the top of the motor and pour the oil
out.
2. Loosen the pug nuts around the cords until they are loose
enough to push the cords down inside of the motor housing.
3. Remove the four bolts from the motor housing and bump the
housing with a plastic hammer to loosen. Lay the pump on
its side.
4. Remove the housing carefully to be sure that enough cord is
pushed into the housing to create no tension on the cords.
5. Slide motor housing up far enough to expose the capacitor
and to be able to lay the housing down.
6. Disconnect wiring from capacitor and loosen capacitor
clamp and slide out capacitor. Replace with new capacitor,
tighten and re-connect. Wiring diagram is given in these
instructions.
7. Check all wiring connectors to be sure they aresecure.
8. Be sure tetraseal gasket is in place.
9. Slide motor housing back onto pump while pulling the cords
out slowly. Assemble the motor housing with the four bolts.
10. Re-assemble cord nuts. Be sure washers are seated and
cords are pulled up to stop against the washers. Tighten
nuts securely.
11. Put pump upright and refill motor with refined paraffinic
transformer oil, ¹Shellflex™ 2210 or equivalent. DO NOT
OVER FILL WITH OIL. With pump upright fill oil to bottom of
oil fill tapping. Replace oil fill plug
¹ Shel l Oil Compan y, Texas
12. Be sure pump turns freely before connecting to power. Turn
pump on side and turn impeller, using screwdriver in slotted
shaft. Plug pump into receptacle to test operation. Pump
must run quiet and free of vibration.
TO REPLACE POWER CORD AND/OR SEAL LEAK
DETECTOR CORD
Remove motor housing as described above. Disconnect the
push-together terminals and remove the ground screw from the
power cord if beingreplaced.
Completely unscrew cord bushing to be replaced and remove
cord assembly from housing. Be sure remaining terminals are
secure on the wires.
Replace with proper cord with fittings. Push cord into the motor
housing far enough to make proper connections. Reconnect
ground wire if replacing power cord and securely connect the
wires correctly. See wiring diagram in these instructions.
Assemble cords and motor housing as described in Capacitor Replacement. Fill with oil as noted and be sure pump turns
freely before connecting topower.
T O REPLACE MOTOR STATOR AND SHELL
1. Remove motor housing as described above.
2. Disconnect all leads from power and seal leak cords and
ground wire and set pump upright.
3. Loosen the four long screw holding the motor and remove
slowly. If unit has seal leak probes, be sure to feed the wires
through the slots as the motor is being removed.
4. Either remove previous capacitor and clamp from old motor
and assemble onto new stator and shell or replace with a
new capacitor and assemble the two capacitor leads per
wiring diagram.
5. Position bearing spring washer on top of upper ball bearing.
6. Tighten terminal screws of seal leak probes and feed wires
through the motor slots.
7. Position the “stator with shell” into place and line up screws
with the bosses and tighten the (4) long screws. Extend
probe wires out through the slots. Lay unit down in line with
motor housing.
8. Be sure pump turns freely with screwdriver in impeller end
of shaft.
9. Reconnect all terminals securely per wiringdiagram.
10. Be sure tetraseal gasket is in place.
11. Reassemble motor housing and fill with oil as noted above in
capacitor replacement.
NOTICE On three phase motors always check unit for proper
rotation. With pump on its side apply power by turning on, then
off, quickly. Impeller must turn counter-clockwise when looking
into the impeller inlet. If not, interchange any two leads in the
control box.

MAINTENANCE
SHAFT SEAL REPLACEMENT
1. Remove plugs in motor housing and in seal housing (for
double seal units) and drain oil.
2. Remove four bolts holding the volute case and bump with a
plastic hammer to loosen and removecase.
3. Hold impeller and unscrew impeller locking screw. Turn
counterclockwise to loosen.
4. Pry off seal bellows and ceramic seat. Break seats if
necessary to get out since they must be replaced with new
parts.
5. NEVER USE OLD SEAL PARTS - USE ONLY COMPLETELY
NEW SEALS. (Do not use seal spring retainer plate on single
seal pump or lower seal of double seal pump.)
6. For single seal pumps or if only replacing the lower seal
of a double seal pump, it is not necessary to disassemble
further. On a double seal pump, it is not necessary to drain
oil out of the motor housing, just the seal housing.
10. Check HUVA cup seal in volute case inlet. If worn,replace.
11. Be sure tetraseal gasket is in position (replace if worn) and
reassemble.
12. Replace oil in motor housing and seal chamber. Use only
Myers submersible oil.
13. Be sure pump turns freely before connecting to power. After
connecting, check for proper rotation noted under
Stator Replacement.
