Boosting City Water Pressure

Hazardous pressure. When using a garden

hose as a discharge line, do not run the pump with the

hose outlet or the nozzle closed. The hose or the nozzle

may burst from excessive pressure. See Figure 2. When

using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use only rein-

forced high pressure hose or pipe for the discharge line.

When using a garden hose, install adapters on the pump

suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require

two female ends. Use a standard washing machine sup-

ply hose as a suction line (See Figure 1).

Lawn Sprinkling Application

Connect the suction hose to the faucet on the outside of

the house (see Figure 3) and to the pump suction. Use a

standard garden hose for discharge. The pump can sup-

ply up to 3-4 sprinklers (depending on GPM output of

the sprinklers).

Electrical

Hazardous voltage. Risk of dangerous or

fatal electric shock. Plug the pump into a 115 Volt, 60

Cycle, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protect-

ed grounded outlet only. The pump is equipped with a

3-wire, grounded, cord and plug. Do not modify or

remove the plug. Make sure the pump circuit meets the

National Electrical Code (in USA) or the Canadian

Electrical Code (in Canada). To avoid dangerous electri-

cal shock hazard, keep the cord dry at all times.

If using an extension cord, use the table below to size

the extension cord.

Lubrication

The motor is lubricated at the factory for the life of

the bearings. The pump seal is water cooled and self

lubricating.

Pump Service

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or

cause death. Unplug the pump before servicing it. Do

not handle the pump or attempt to work on the pump

with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp

floor.

The motor has an auto-reset thermal overload protector.

If the motor overheats, the overload will cut off the

power to prevent damage and will reset after the motor

cools. If the overload trips repeatedly, check the pump

for the cause (low voltage, a clogged impeller, etc.).
