ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check that the information on the nameplate corresponds to the power supply.
Employ a competent electrician to ensure wiring installation is made in accordance with any
local electrical codes. Every motor requires either a fused disconnect switch or a circuit breaker.
A SINGLE PHASE MOTOR has a built in thermal overload switch.

THREE PHASE MOTOR

THREE PHASE MOTORS requires a starter switch or magnetic starter with correctly sized overload
protection in addition to the fused disconnect switch.
CHECK THE ROTATION OF THREE PHASE MOTORS.
The motor is only suitable for clockwise operation when viewed from the motor end fan (cowl) cover.
Three phase motors could rotate in either direction. Changing any 2 wires of the cable on a three
phase motor will reverse the direction of rotation. To check the rotation of the motor, turn on for
approximately 1 second. If it is running in the wrong direction turn off power and interchanging any 2
wires and repeat the above step to check.
When installing three phase pumps a separate device must be available for permanent installation,
this is so the pump can be isolated from the mains power. A contact distance of 3mm per pole is
required for both three phase and single phase units.
Motor protection MUST be installed corresponding to the nominal current of the motor. SEE VALUE
ON RATING PLATE.
It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the user to ensure adequate protection between the motor and the
power supply.
The installer must protect all three phases on the supply of the motor so that the pump cannot run
on 1 or 2 phases only.
WARNING
!
Before disconnecting electrical connections, shut of the electricity at its source:
EXAMPLE : The fuse or circuit breaker box. Before work is carried out on the pump ensure the pump
switch or timers are turned off and MAKE CERTAIN THE MAINS POWER IS SWITCHED OFF.

PRIMING

The Waterco Limited pump will prime and re prime providing the hair and lint pot bowl is full of
water and there is sufficient supply from the suction point.
If you lose water from the hair and lint pot bowl it will be necessary to re fill it before starting.
1. Remove the clear lid and fill the hair and lint pot bowl with water.
2. Replace the lid ensuring the o-ring is correctly located and start the pump.
After you have done this allow a few minutes (maximum) for the pump to start delivering water.
WARNING
!
High suction lift or long suction lines will require additional time to prime and can severely affect the
performance of the pump. If the pump will not prime, (flow) repeat step 1 and 2 above.
WARNING
!
Mechanical seals if allowed to run dry can be damaged rapidly and may need to be replaced.
ENSURE that there is always adequate water in the hair and lint pot bowl before you commence
start up.
If you are unable to prime the pump please see the trouble-shooting guide.
Ensure all suction and discharge valves are open before you start the pump, operating the pump
with these valves shut can damage the pump.
