General Safety
Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This product or its
power cord may
contain chemicals, including lead, known
to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read these rules and
instructions carefully. Failure
to follow these instuctions
could cause serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
MANUAL
This pump is non-
only clear water. Do not pump
flammable or explosive fluids
such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in a flammable
and/or explosive atmosphere. Personal
injury and/or property damage could result.
This pump is not
salt water, brine, laundry discharge or
any other application which may
contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign
materials. Pump damage could occur if
used in these applications and will void
warranty.
All wiring must be
performed by a qualified
electrician. The pump must
be installed in compliance with all local
and national codes.
2. Connect this product to a grounded
circuit equipped with a ground fault
interruptor device.
3. Before installing this product, have
the electrical circuit checked by an
electrician to ensure proper
grounding.
4. BE CERTAIN the pump
power source is
disconnected before
installing or servicing
pump.
5. Check motor voltage setting on
motor end plate and make sure the
line voltage of the electrical current
supply is correct.
6. Be sure the water source and piping
is clear of sand, dirt and scale.
Debris will clog pump and void
warranty.
7. Failure to protect pump and piping
from freezing could cause severe
damage and will void the warranty.
submersible.

8. Do not run pump dry. Follow
priming instructions.
Installation
Protect pump from the elements by
installing in a basement, garage, tool
shed or pump house. Install the pump
so the center line of the pump is as close
as possible to the water level. Keep
installation area clear to provide access
for service and maintenance. Protect the
pump against flooding and excess
moisture.
Make sure the pump has adequate
ventilation. The surrounding
temperature should not exceed 100°F
(38°C) or nuisance tripping of the motor
may occur.
PUMP PIPING INSTALLATION
Use new pipe for best results.
Galvanized or plastic pipe can be used.
When using galvanized pipe, provide
independent supports for both suction
and discharge piping near the pump to
avoid strain on the pump. Minimize use
of elbows and fittings to reduce friction
loss. Refer to the friction loss chart for
specific information.
Increase diameter of suction or discharge
piping if length is over 50 feet.
SUCTION PIPING
Install foot valve
over intake of suction piping.
Never use pipe smaller than 2” in
diameter for suction piping.
pipe must be kept free of air leaks. For
horizontal runs, lay pipe from the water
source so the upward slope is at least 1/2”
per foot. This eliminates trapped air. The
threaded inlet of the pump is 2” NPT.
Do not install suc-
swimming areas.

Installation (Continued)
DISCHARGE PIPING
Install a 1-1/2” pipe tee in the pump
discharge to allow easy priming. Plug
the end of the tee opposite the pump
to allow the branch piping to go to the
spray nozzles (See Figure 1). Remove
the pipe plug to fill the pump with
water for priming.

2. Lower the pipe into the well.
3. Add pipe until the foot valve is 10
feet below the lowest anticipated
water level.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow air
to leak into the pipe and cause poor
pump operation. Make sure to use pipe
joint compound or Teflon® tape on all
pipe connections.
Locate foot valve
no closer than 2 feet
from the bottom of the well so sand or
sediment is not drawn into the system.
4. After the proper depth is reached,
install a well seal or pitless adapter
to support the pipe.
5. Slope the horizontal pipe upward
toward the pump to eliminate
trapping air.
6. When using a foot valve, a priming
tee and plug above the well seal is
recommended.
DRIVEN WELL
• Drive the point several feet below
the water table.
NOTE: A packer-type foot valve can be
installed in the well (See Figure 3). This
type of foot valve allows the well pipe
to be filled with water when priming
and makes the inlet pipe much easier to
test for leaks. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when installing the packertype foot valve.
As an alternative, an in-line check valve can
be used with a driven well (See Figure 4).

It may be necessary to supply the pump
with multiple well points to maintain
the high flow capability of this pump.
Consult with a plumbing professional
for appropriate materials and
installation instructions.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow air
to leak into the pipe and cause poor
pump operation. Make sure to use pipe
joint compound or Teflon® tape on all
pipe connections.

• Install a foot valve on the inlet pipe
and lower into the water.
Locate foot valve no
closer than 2 feet
from the bottom of the water source so
sand or sediment is not drawn into the
system.
NOTE: When a lake is used for the water
supply, make sure the suction pipe is
deep enough to be submerged at all
times. Slope the pipe upward toward
the pump to eliminate trapping air. The
pipe must be removed during winter
months or protected against freezing.
Protect the pipe
from damage by
swimmers and boaters.
Electrical Connections
Connect the pump to a separate electrical
circuit with a dedicated circuit breaker.
Refer to the electrical specifications in
wiring chart for recommended circuit
breaker and wire size.

pump in accordance with the National
Electrical code and all applicable local
electrical codes.
The motor must be grounded by
connecting a copper conductor to the
grounding screw provided within the
wiring compartment.
The voltage of power supply must match
the voltage of the pump. The WLS75,
WLS100 and WLS150 have dual voltage
motors preset at the factory to 230 volts.
The motors can be converted to 115 volts
by turning the voltage selector to the
desired voltage (See Figure 5). Use a
needle nose pliers to pull the selector out
approximately 1/4”, rotate and then
reinsert in correct position. The WLS200
cannot be converted; the motor is
230 volts only.

Operation
Never run the
pump dry. Running
pump without water may cause seal
damage. Fill the pump with water
before starting.
PRIMING THE PUMP
After pump installation is complete, the
pump must be primed. Remove the
pipe plug in the discharge piping and
fill the pump and suction pipe with
clean water. Turn power to pump on. If
the pump does not pump water in 10
minutes, turn off the pump and refill
with clean water.
If the pump does not operate after
repeated attempts, check the following:
1. Vertical distance of pump to water
level must not be over 25 feet.
2. Suction piping must be air tight.
3. Be sure valve(s) are open if used in
discharge or suction piping.
Never run the
pump with a closed
or clogged discharge. The water inside
the pump could boil and damage the
pump.
Maintenance
Maintain adequate ventilation for the
pump motor. The motor bearings are
permanently lubricated at the factory.
Additional lubrication is not required.
DRAINING FOR WINTER
Always protect pump and piping
against freezing temperatures. If there
is any danger of freezing, drain the
system. To drain the system:
1. Remove the pipe plug from the
discharge tee.
2. Remove the 1/4” plug from the
lower front face of the pump.
3. Drain all piping below the frost line.
