PRE-CHARGE TANK CONNECTION (Figure 6)

If your system uses a Con-Aire (pre-charged) tank, it should be connected to the pump as shown in Figure 6. The relief valve must be capable of passing the entire pump capacity at 100 PSI pressure.

Check the pre-charge of air in the tank with an ordinary tire gauge. the pre-charge is measured

when there is no

water pressure in the tank.

Disconnect power to the pump and drain the tank before checking the pre-charge. Your pump has a 30/50 PSI switch, so the tank precharge pressure should be 28 PSI (that is, it should be 2 PSI lower than the cut-in pressure of the pressure switch.

No AVC is required for a pre-charged tank; the 1/8" NPT AVC port on the pump body should be plugged.

STANDARD TANK CONNECTION (Figure 7)

If your system uses a standard tank, connect it to the pump as shown in Figure 7. The relief valve used with a standard tank must be capable of passing the entire pump capacity at 75 PSI pressure.

Connect the Air Volume Control (AVC) tube to the 1/8" NPT AVC port on the pump body. Run the tubing from the pump’s AVC port to the AVC mounted on the tank. See the instructions provided with tank and AVC for details.

Sealing Pipe Joints

Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint compounds for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in pump components. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight.

If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.

Plug Type Voltage Selector

Voltage is factory set to 230 volts. To change to 115 volts:

1. Make sure power is off.

2. Pull the voltage change plug off of the tabs.

3. Move the voltage change plug to the 115 volt position. The plug will now cover 2 metal tabs and the arrow on the plug will line up with the 115V arrow on the label (see Figure 9).

4. Attach the incoming power leads to the two outer screws on the pressure switch as shown in Figure 8.

5. Attach the ground wire to one of the grounding connections, shown in Figure 8.

6. If there are other wires, they should be capped.

7. Reinstall the Motor end cover.

Dial Type Voltage Selector

Voltage is factory set to 230 volts. To change to 115 volts:

1. Make sure power is off.

2. Turn the dial counter-clockwise until 115 shows in the dial window as shown in Figure 11.

3. Attach the incoming power leads to the two outer screws on the pressure switch as shown in Figure 10.

4. Attach the ground wire to the grounding connections as shown in Figure 10.

5. If there are other wires, they should be capped.

6. Reinstall the Motor end cover.

Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring.

NOTE: 1/2 HP motors are wired for 115 volts only, and have no motor wiring to change.

3/4 HP or 1 HP motor terminal boards (located under the motor end cover) should look like one of those below. If the motor can operate at either 115 or 230 volts, it is set at the factory to 230 volts. Do not change motor wiring if line voltage is 230 volts, or if you have a single voltage motor.

Never wire a 115 volt motor to a 230 volt line.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill. Connect ground wire before connecting power supply wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire) specified in the wiring chart. If possible, connect the pump to a separate

branch circuit with no other appliances on it.

Explosion hazard. Do not ground to a gas supply line.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

Fire hazard. Incorrect voltage can cause a

fire or seriously damage the motor and voids the warranty. The supply voltage must be within ±10% of the motor nameplate voltage.

NOTICE: Dual-voltage motors are factory wired for 230 volts. If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, as shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.

Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and with all local codes and ordinances that apply. Consult your local building inspector for code information.

Connection Procedure:

Step 1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure

11. The ground wire must be a solid copper wire at least as large as the power supply wires.

Step 2. There must be a solid metal connection between

the pressure switch and the motor for motor grounding protection. If the pressure switch is not connected to the motor, connect the green ground screw in the switch to the green ground screw under the motor end cover. Use a solid copper wire at least as large as the power supply wires.

Step 3. Connect the ground wire to a grounded lead in a

service panel, to a metal underground water pipe, to a metal well casing at least ten feet (3M) long, or to a ground electrode provided by the power company or the hydro authority.

Step 4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure

switch as shown in Figure 11.

Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.

Never run pump dry. Running pump without

water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.

Step 1. Open the control valve as far as possible (see

Figure 12). Then remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.

Step 2. Replace all fill plugs and close the control valve

completely (Figure 13).

Step 3. Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure

gauge. The pressure should build rapidly to 50 PSI as the pump primes.

Step 4. After 2 or 3 minutes, the gauge should show pres-

sure. If not, stop the pump, remove the fill plugs, reopen the control valve, and refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. Don’t forget to close the control valve each time before you start the pump.

Step 5. When pressure has built up and stabilized at

about 50 PSI, slowly open the control valve (see Figure 14) and let the pressure drop until the pressure gauge needle starts to flutter. When the needle flutters, close the valve just enough to stop the flutter (see Figure 14). Your pump is now operating at its most efficient point.

Step 6. After the pump has built up pressure in the sys-

tem and shut off, check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.

NOTICE: Packer jets (2" and 3" single pipe wells) do not form a perfect seal. Normal irregularities in the cup seal leather and the inner walls of the casing will allow the pressure in a dormant system to leak off over time. This will cause the pump to cycle periodically to maintain the system pressure level.

Preparing to Start the Pump – Shallow Well 9

Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.

Never run pump dry. Running pump without

water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.

Step 1. Open the control valve as far as possible (see

Figure 15). Then remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee

the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.

Step 2. Replace all fill plugs. Leave the control valve

open (in a shallow well installation, the control valve always stays open).

Step 3. Power on! Start the pump. The pump should

pump water in two or three minutes.

Step 4. If you don’t have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop

the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. The control valve remains open throughout this procedure.

Step 5. After the pump has built up pressure in the sys-

Open control valve as far as possible and fill pump and piping through priming port or priming tee.
