INSTALLATION

OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing your Pentair Hydromatic® pump. To
help ensure years of trouble-free op er a tion, please read the
follow ing manual carefully.
Before installation, check your local electrical and plumbing
codes.
1. Provide proper sump size to allow the pump to operate
without restrictions. A two- to five-minute run time is
recommended. Also, minimum 24" diameter 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 placing bricks or concrete
blocks underneath it.
4. Use steel or plastic pipe for all connecting lines between
pump and sewer outlet.
NOTE: Some city regulations do not allow installing a pump
with plastic pipe. Check local regulations.
5. 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.
6. A check valve should be installed in discharge pipe, at least
12" above the discharge outlet of the pump.
7. An audible alarm system, such as the Q Alert, for high water
conditions should be installed in every pump for greater
protection.
NOTE: Q Alert alarm is for indoor use only. Contact your
Pentair Hydromatic distributor for other panel applications.

vent tube in the plug must be clear of obstructions.
Do not bend cord. This will cause a crimp in the vent tube and
switch failure will occur. Pump should be plugged into a single
outlet, where vent tube can "breathe." Blocking tube or bending
cord will void the warranty.
8. Connect to power source using 3-prong grounded AC
receptacle. Do not remove ground pin from electrical plug.
Do not use an extension cord.
9. For proper automatic operations in models SP40A1 and/or
SP40A2 make sure the pump power cord is plugged into the
back of the piggyback receptacle on the diaphragm switch
cord.
