GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this manual before
attempting to assemble, operate or install this
product. For questions, please call customer service
at 1-800-742-5044 (7:30am - 5:00pm ESDT
Mon. - Fri.)
This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
When you see this symbol on the pump or
in the manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury or property damage.
DANGER
Warns of hazards that WILL cause
serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
Warns of hazards that CAN cause
serious personal injury or death, if ignored.
Warns of hazards that MAY cause
minor personal injury, product or property damage
if ignored.
IMPORTANT: Indicates factors concerned with
operation, installation, assembly or maintenance
which could result in damage to the machine or
equipment if ignored.
NOTE: Indicates special instructions which are
important but are not related to hazards.
Customer Alert on Potential Water Damage: As
with any product subject to a continuous supply of
incoming water, a water alarm to monitor the pump
area is strongly recommended to alert the customer
to the potential for water damage which may result
from water line failure, product damage or incorrect
installation.
PUMP SAFETY INFORMATION
Hazardous
voltage. Can
shock, burn
or cause
death. Ground
pump before
connecting to
power supply.
SHOCK HAZARD
1. Meet United States National
Electrical Code and local codes for
all wiring.
2. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface
or in water.
3. Follow wiring instructions in this
manual when connecting to power
lines.
4. Always disconnect power source before
performing any work on or near the motor or its
connected load.
5. Risk of electric shock - This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas or
marine areas.
6. Protect electrical cord. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cords immediately.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type
receptacle.
Do not use to pump
flammable or explosive fluids
such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do
not use in flammable and/or explosive environments.
Hazardous pressure! Install
pressure relief valve in
discharge pipe. Release all pressure on
system before working on any component.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. This pump has been evaluated to work with
water only.
2. Wear safety glasses when working with pumps.
3. Periodically inspect pump and system
components.
4. Do not insert finger or any object into pump or
motor openings.
5. Secure the discharge line before starting the
pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip,
possibly causing personal injury and/or property
damage or puncture.
6. Do not touch an operating motor or engine. They
are designed to operate at high temperatures.
1/2 HP PERFORMANCE
See charts below for expected system pressure at
various incoming line pressure / flow rates.
Inlet
PSI
HCP05 System Pressure (PSI)
at Flow Rates (GPM)
3 6 9 12 15 18 21
10 44 39 32 25 17
20 54 49 42 35 27
30* 64 59 52 45 37
Do not exceed 30 input PSI for
P/N HCP05
*Note: Increase tank PSI (see FIG 3) if inlet PSI
will exceed preset tank setting 26 psi.
GENERAL PUMP INSTALLATION / SETUP (FIG 1)
City booster pump installation is shown per
FIG 1. During pump use, insure ball valves #1 and
#2 are open, and ball valve #3 is closed.
#1 An Adjustable Pressure
Regulator (APR#1) is required on the suction side of
the pump (see fig 1) if the incoming water pressure
can exceed the maximum input pressure.
#2 An Adjustable Pressure
Regulator (APR#2) is required on the Discharge
(See fig 1) to insure maximum water pressure does
not exceed local plumbing codes.
#3 A Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)
connected to a drain is required (see fig 1) to safe
guard plumbing from exceeding max pressures if the
Pressure Regulators fail. Typically the PRV would
be set 5 psi higher than the APR#2.
NOTE: Optional external water tank can be used to
decrease the on/off cycle rate of the pump system,
which can extend the life of the pump. (Typical tank
3 gallon draw down.) Set tank PSI equal to pump
tank PSI.
The entire system must be air and
water tight to maintain prime. Use thread tape on
all connections to insure no leaks. Hand tighten
all threads and then add additional half turn with
wrench.
