HONDA Submersible Pump WSP33AA - Manual (Page 7)

Basin and Cover
The basin should not be less than 18 inches in diameter and 24 inches deep. Larger
diameters are advisable in instances of increased pump capacity requirements:
The basin should be located such that all water flows into the basin due to gravity.
Outdoor installations should be at a sufficient depth to ensure protection from freezing.
Maintenance Tips
• Every three or four months:
1) Clean the pump screen or inlet opening. If your sump collects the discharge from an
automatic washing machine, cleaning will be required more often. (Before removing
the pump, be sure to disconnect the unit from electrical power; and reconnect after
completion of cleaning).
2) Pour enough water into the sump to cycle the pump and assure its proper
functioning.
• Annually:
Remove and clean the pump. Clean the sump pit also.
