TYPICAL SEWAGE INSTALLATION

1. This installation must be in accordance with the National

Electric Code and all applicable local codes and

ordinances.

2. Use a basin (5) that is large enough to accommodate the

pump. The basin diameter should be a minimum of 18

inches and the depth a minimum of 24 inches.

3. Clean the basin of all debris.

4. Set the pump (6) on a solid, level surface. Do not place

pump directly on clay, earth, gravel, or sand. A brick or

block may be installed under the pump to provide a solid

base.

5. Position pump (6) in the basin (5) so the tether switch (7) is

away from incoming water. Verify the tether ﬂoat switch has

at least 1 inch clearance to the side wall of the basin and is

free of any possible obstructions.

6. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional and

state codes. Do not reduce the discharge pipe (3) size

below that which is provided on the pump (6).

7. A union (2) should be installed above the basin to allow

easy removal of the pump (6) for cleaning and service.

8. Install a check valve (1) (required) to prevent back-ﬂow.

It should be installed above the union.

9. A gate valve or ball valve should be installed above the

check valve if required by local, regional or state codes.

10. Connect remaining discharge pipe. Keep sections as short

as possible with a minimum number of turns.

11. A vent pipe (11) is required. It removes gases and odors

and should be installed as required by local, regional or

state codes.

12. Secure power supply cord (8) to discharge pipe (3) using

cable or zip ties to prevent possible switch entanglement.

13. Connect tether switch (7) piggyback cord to a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet (9) (required) then connect

the pump power supply cord (8) into the piggyback cord.

14. Fill the basin with water. The pump will start when the

water level has reached the switch-on level. Verify the

pump is operating normally.

15. Install a basin cover and gasket (10) to prevent debris from

falling into the basin, prevent personal injury, and to contain

gases and odors.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The pump should be inspected monthly for pump movement or buildup of debris on the switch or ﬂoat Reposition pump if it has

moved. Remove any debris that could interfere with the operation of the switch. Lack of proper routine maintenance will void war-

ranty.

• Make sure the pump is plugged in to a working ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet and the cord is in good shape. In

damp areas, GFCI breakers may trip, effectively shutting off the pump. Check in on your sewage pump and reset the GFCI if

necessary.

• Ensure the pump is standing upright. Vibrations during operation can cause it to move or tilt onto one side. This can jam the

tether ﬂoat so it can’t activate the pump.

• Flush toilet or run sink to make sure the pump starts automatically and the water drains quickly once the pump is on. If the

pump doesn’t start, have it serviced or replaced.

• Replace the tether switch every two (2) years. This maintence will reduce the risk of improper pump operation, switch failure

and/or ﬂooding.
