Installation
Typical Simplex Effluent Installation
Follow these guidelines for installation:
1. Provide proper basin or tank size to ensure pump
operates without restriction. A two to five minute run
time is recommended.
2. Make sure sump is free of string, cloth, nails, gravel,
etc. before installing pump.
3. Do not set pump directly on the bottom of sump pit
if it is not solid. Raise the pump by using bricks or
concrete blocks underneath it.
4. Use steel or plastic pipe for all connecting lines
between pump and sewer outlet.
NOTICE: Some city regulations do not
allow installing a pump with plastic pipe.
Check local regulations.
5. Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on pipe
connections. Do not use ordinary pipe joint
compound on plastic pipe or pump. Pipe joint
compound can attack plastics and damage pump.
6. In applications where the pump may sit idle for
months at a time, it is recommended that the
pump(s) be cycled every month to ensure the
pumping system is working properly when needed.
7. A check valve should be installed horizontally in
discharge pipe.
8. The optional Hydromatic Q Alert is an audible
alarm system for high water conditions. It should be
installed in every sump for greater protection.
NOTICE: Q Alert is for indoor use only. Other
Q Alarm and control panels are available for
outdoor use. Contact your Hydromatic distributor
for applications.
9. Use pump partially or completely submerged for
pumping waterlike liquids (temperature to 140° F).
The pump will pump solid materials up to 3/4"
(spherical) in diameter. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
Do not pump flammable liquids. Strong
chemicals or salt water should not be pumped
without consulting your Hydromatic distributor for
proper seals and coatings.
