BSP15, BSP25
2. This pump has a 1-1/2 in. NPT
discharge. If a 1-1/4 in. discharge
pipe is desired, an adapter (not
included) will be necessary. Smaller
diameter piping will reduce pump
flow, rate and performance.
3. A check valve will be required in
the discharge line of both the Main
AC pump and the BSP25 pump
to prevent recirculation of water
into the sump pit. System will not
function without two check valves.
4. Cut a 4 ft. section of 1-1/4 in.
or 1-1/2 in. diameter rigid PVC
pipe. Cement 1-1/2 in. pipe to a
threaded fitting. Cement 1-1/4 in.
pipe into pipe coupling. Attach
1-1/4 in. pipe section to the BSP25
discharge adapter.
5. Screw on to pump discharge.
Be careful not to strip
or cross thread plastic
fittings or check valves. Flex hose is not
recommended. Rigid PVC or metal pipe
is required for a permanent installation.
6. Place the pump with the 4’ section
of PVC pipe on the sump floor or on
an elevated surface if required.
7. Attach a rubber check valve (sold
separately) to the top of the
discharge pipe. This will allow the
pump or check valve to be removed
easily for servicing.
8. Duplicate the discharge piping
arrangement for the primary AC
pump if the existing discharge line
has to be adjusted to accommodate
a second pump.
9. Glue a 45º elbow to the short
pipe on the BSP25 pump. Glue a
“Y” adapter to the short pipe on
the existing pump, as shown in
illustration for Method 2.
10. Glue a short piece of PVC pipe
between the 45º elbow and the “Y”.
NOTE: Check valves can be placed
directly in the pump discharge
if desired. However, for ease of
disassembly, it is recommended that
check valves be placed above the sump
as shown in Figure 2, page 2.
The remainder of the discharge pipe
installation will vary depending on
individual circumstances. Using sound
plumbing practices, route the discharge
pipe to an exterior wall by the shortest
distance.
Methods 1 and 2
Install float switch at least 10 in.-12
in. above bottom of sump pit so that
backup unit turns on only when the
water level is higher than the normal
“on” level for primary pump. Use the
wire ties provided to secure the switch
to the discharge pipe. Make sure power
wires do not interfere with float switch,
pump inlet, or main pump operation.
Backup pump must not be allowed to
run dry.
Control Box Installation –
BSP15 & BSP25
1. Attach control box to the side of
battery box as shown in Figure 7.
Place battery in box, attach red cable
to positive battery post and black
cable to negative post. Put lid on box.
If cables are
reversed, damage to
the control box or battery could result,
and warranty will be void.
2. Place battery box within 6 ft. of the
sump and a 115 VAC separately fused
outlet. The outlet must be protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). The area must also be clean,
dry and well-ventilated.
3. Plug the float switch, pump, and
charger into the control box.
(connections are marked on the
control box).
4. Test pump operation by filling the
sump with water while the main
pump is unplugged. If the pump
operates properly, plug the charger
into the GFCI protected outlet to
begin charging the battery.
5. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord and replace
damaged components immediately.
Operation
ALWAYS
disconnect the power source
before attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain
the pump. NEVER touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to
electrical power. NEVER handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock COULD occur.
Risk of
electrical shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. Use a
grounded receptacle to reduce the risk
of fatal electrical shock. NEVER cut off
the round grounding prong. Cutting the
cord or plug will void the warranty and
make the pump inoperable.
1. With a fully charged battery, test
Back-up Pump operation by fi lling
the sump with water while the
primary pump is unplugged. If the
Back-up Pump operates properly,
plug the charger into the GFCI
protected outlet and the primary
pump into a separate GFCI outlet.
2. After installation, the standby
pump will start when the water
level rises above the depth that the
primary pump should start.
3. The control box has a DC charger
designed to shorten the recharging
time of your battery, and to prevent
overcharging. In addition, the
control box has a time delay which
keeps the pump from repeated,
short cycles when it shuts off. This
time delay feature will allow the
pump to run 20-25 seconds after the
switch reaches the off position.
