Installation

NOTE: Installation of a low pressure safety cutoff switch on the pump discharge is recommended (and may be required by your local code) to shut off the power in case of low discharge pressure (caused by broken pipe, etc.).

2.Mount the pump on a solid base in the location you have decided on.

3.Choose a time that will allow you to shut off the water to the household while you install the 3075SS.

4.Shutoff the main water supply valve to the household.

5.Open any faucet to relieve water pressure in the plumbing. Once the water pressure is relieved, close the faucet.

6.READ STEP 6 COMPLETELY BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON IT. You must remove a length of pipe from the main water supply line to allow installation of elbows for the 3075SS. The locations of the cuts must take into consideration the size of the elbows being used, the length of the threads in threaded joints or the overlap in glued or soldered joints, etc. Position the elbows in line with the pump suction and discharge threads. There may be slight water leakage while cutting the pipe. Remove any burrs or shavings caused by the cutting tool.

NOTE: Galvanized pipe may not need to be cut. If there is a union close to the pump location, disas- semble the union and remove (unscrew) pipe back past the pump location. Have new lengths of pipe cut and threaded to allow for the pump installation.

NOTE: Both female suction and male discharge ports have 1” NPT threads. Depending on your type of connection and the size of your home’s piping, you may need to install adapters on the ports.

7.Once the short piece of pipe is removed, the piping above the cut can be drained to prevent water mess. Place a pail under the opening going to the house- hold. Open the highest faucet in the system to let in air so the water can fall out of the pipes into the pail. Once it’s drained, close the faucet.

8.Install the elbows in the main water supply line. Point them toward the pump.

Risk of burst hose and flooding. Do not install with flexible hoses. Use only rigid piping that meets code.

9.Install piping from elbows to pump including a union in each line and a check valve in the pump suction line. The arrow on the check valve must point to the pump suction (see Figure 2). If not already in the plumbing system, install a pressure relief valve in the pump discharge line capable of passing the full pump flow at 100 psi (689 kPa). If local code requires installation of a pressure relief valve capable of han- dling the full pump flow at a pressure less than 100 psi (689 kPa), follow the code requirements. A low pressure safety cutoff switch should also be installed in the discharge line, and may be required by your local codes.

10.With all pipe and fittings installed and sealed, turn on the main water supply slowly to pressurize the system and check for leaks. If any leaks appear, turn the main valve off, open a faucet to relieve the pressure, and repair the leak. Repeat this step until there are no leaks in the system.

11.Open a faucet to release the air from the pipes and allow water to flow. When a steady stream of water flows out of the faucet, the pump is full of water and fully primed. Close the faucet.

12.Turn the controller knob to the desired pressure for the pump to turn on. The 3075SS comes factory pre- set at 30 psi (207 kPa), and we recommend starting there and adjusting it later according to your experi- ence with the system.

13.Before continuing with the installation, see the sections of this manual titled “Electrical Connections”, “Automatic Pressure Controller”, “Normal Operation”, and “When Does The Pump Stop Operating” for detailed information on how the system functions.

14.At this point, you can plug in the pump for the first time. When you plug in the power cord, the pump will start and run for 15 seconds regardless of the controller setting. If the inlet pressure is above the set point, the pump will stop after 15 seconds.

15.When the pump is running and after it shuts off auto- matically, the system is at the boosted pressures. Inspect the pipe and fittings again for water leaks. If any leaks appear, unplug the pump, turn the water main valve off, open a faucet to relieve the pressure and repair the leak. Repeat this step until there are no leaks in the system.
