To the user
Read the following instructions carefully.
1. Principles of Operation
OF OPERATION
All Supersub models, Supersub 500, 650 and 1100 and Supersub Smart 650 and 1100 are uniquely designed, specifically for fast and efficient
removal of bilge water from leisure craft. The Supersub range fits into narrow and low spaces that other bilge pumps cannot reach. SS5012,
SS5022, SS1012 AND SS1024 ARE NOT AUTOMATIC PUMPS. (Please refer to section 4 for the switches and optional extras that can be used
with these products).
Supersub Smart 650 and 1100 are automatic. The pump will sense the presence of water and will switch on the pump, turning it off again when
the water level has dropped. The switching is solid state hence there are no moving parts. The Supersub Smart models allow waves of water to
pass over, without turning the pump on every time, as it has a built in time delay.
2. Application
• The Supersub and Supersub Smart range of products are designed to pump normal bilge water. Output capacity depends on installation and
operating conditions. If this product is intended to be used for any other purpose or with any other liquid, it is the user's responsibility to ensure
that the pump is suitable for the application and, in particular, that the materials are fully compatible with the liquids to be used.
• This product must only be used in the bilges of leisure craft. If this product is to be used as the sole and/or primary bilge pump, the
Supersub 500/650/1100 and Supersub Smart 650/1100 pumps should only be used in boats up to 24m (78.8 ft).
• The bilge water should only be evacuated through a correctly installed skin fitting above the water line of the boat.
3. Warning
• With all applications, it is important that a system of safe working practice is applied to installation, use and maintenance. Ensure the electric
supply is turned off and waste water system is drained before installation.
• The Supersub range is designed only for the removal of normal bilge water in leisure boats and personal watercraft (As explained in
application). Your warranty may be invalidated if the product is used in other applications or outside the remit of the standards quoted on the
packaging and pump body.
• NOTE: Bilge pump capacities may not be sufficient to prevent flooding from rapid accumulation of water due to storms, rough weather and/ or
rapid leaks created by hull damage and or unsafe navigational conditions.
• The pumped water must be evacuated through a skin fitting above the water line (see typical installation diagrams). The Supersub and
Supersub Smart range is not for use in systems evacuating water through a skin fitting or seacock below the water line. All pipework must
contain a correctly installed anti-syphon valve / loop.
• In order to securely fasten the unit, ensure that the mounting surface is a minimum thickness of 19mm (3/4") (when fitted with the screws
supplied). NOTE Do not screw directly to the hull - must be mounted on a bulkhead or on an additional board.
• NOTE - DO NOT unscrew the rear section, as interference with the internal electrics will render the pump unfit for use. - this is a
non-serviceable part of the pump.
• WARNING: Fire hazard. Wiring must comply with applicable electrical standards and include a properly rated fuse or circuit breaker. Improper
wiring can cause a fire resulting in injury or death. Switch off the power while making connections.
