Start the Pump
Note: Before start the pump, close the
1. Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The pressure should
build rapidly to 50 PSI as the pump primes.
2. After 2 or 3 minutes, the gauge should show pressure. 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.
3. When water pressure has built up and is maintained by the pump, slowly open the
pressure regulator while watching the pressure gauge needle. Slowly unscrew the
adjusting screw until maximum water flow is obtained without dropping to zero.
If pressure falls completely, retighten the screw and readjust. If no pressure shows,
stop the pump, remove the pressure regulator from pump, add more water, and try
again.
4. After the pump has built up pressure in the system 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: Disconnect power and release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or
perform any maintenance.
DRAINING THE PUMP
Drain openings are provided on all models. To drain the
pump:
Unplug the pump from power supply outlet.
Remove drain plug close to the inlet hole and air plug
located on the top of the pump close to the outlet hole,
to vent the piping system.
Drain all piping to a point below the freeze line. This will
drain the pump.
NOTE: While this will drain the pump, it will not necessarily drain all the unprotected parts of the piping system. To drain tank,
disconnect the piping at the tank outlet.
