Frequently Asked Questions - W16G07S8-32P Little Giant

What to do if the pump won't start?

First check the power supply and circuit breaker. Make sure the pump is not turned off by a level probe. If the problem persists, contact an electrician.

Why is my pump not delivering water?

This may be due to an air lock in the pump, a clogged suction strainer, or insufficient well capacity. Bleed the air or clean the strainer. Check the water level.

My pump stops and restarts too often (short cycles).

Possible causes include incorrect tank pressure, a defective check valve, or a pressure tank that is too small. Check the pressure and the valve condition.

The circuit breaker trips regularly. What to do?

This is usually a sign of an electrical fault: short circuit, overload or insulation fault. Call a professional electrician to diagnose the problem.

How to install the pump correctly in a well?

Place the pump at least 1.5 m from the bottom and above the filter. Use a safety cable and secure the electrical cable every 3 m. Install a spring-loaded check valve above the pump.

What regular maintenance is required?

Periodically check the quality of the electrical insulation with an ohmmeter, and inspect the cable and fittings. Ensure the pump remains submerged to avoid overheating.

Can I use the pump in a lake or pond?

Yes, but installation must be done by a qualified electrician. The pump must be grounded and protected by a ground fault circuit breaker. Tilt it at 15° to lubricate the bearings.

What does the 'DANGER' symbol in the manual mean?

It indicates an emergency situation. For example, dangerous voltage can cause electrocution. Always follow safety instructions: cut the power before any intervention.

How to replace the removable check valve?

Use a well key or needle-nose pliers. The thread is left-handed: turn clockwise to unscrew. Tighten to a torque of 1.69 Nm (15 in-lb) when reassembling.

Does the warranty cover electrical failures?

The limited 12-month warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover damage due to improper installation, lightning or normal wear.

TEST RUNNING

If test running pump before installation:

1. Ensure that the power supply corresponds with that shown on the nameplate of the motor and control box (if required).
2. Install pump and components appropriate for the test as shown in Fig. 1.
3. Make sure power supply is turned off and circuit breaker or disconnect switch is open. Make electrical connections appropriate to your motor as shown in Figure 2, 3 or 4.
4. On a three-phase motor, use a magnetic starter equipped with quick-trip, ambient compensated heaters of correct size for the horsepower of the motor.

To ensure correct rotation of three-phase units, brace pump shell securely and apply power momentarily by snapping line switch quickly on and off. If rotation is correct, reaction of the shell will be clockwise when viewed from pump discharge (that is, pump shaft will rotate counter clockwise). Interchange any two leads at magnetic starter to reverse rotation.

1. Run pump and motor unit for a few seconds to ensure that it is in working order.

FIGURE 1 Installation Diagram

SUITABILITY OF WELL

Install the pump only in a well that has been properly developed. Water from an undeveloped well often contains an excessive amount of sand, dirt, and abrasives which can damage the pump. Check that the well is large enough to

allow the pump to be set at the required depth. Do not set the pump below the casing perforations or well screen unless you make arrangements to ensure an adequate flow of water over the motor for cooling purposes. Determine the correct pump setting from the driller's record by taking into account the static water level and the drawdown at the proposed pumping rate. Keep the pump at least five feet from the bottom of a drilled well.

Follow the instructions enclosed in the cable splicing kit (purchased separately).

DROP PIPE

Submersible drop pipe manufacturer's usage guidelines should always be followed when suspending a submersible pump in a well. Generally either galvanized steel or plastic are used for the pump drop pipe. When using plastic piping it is important to follow the manufacturer's depth and pressure rating. Give special consideration to:

1. A safety cable to prevent loss of pump if pipe should break.
2. A torque arrestor just above pump to prevent chafing the cable when pump and pipe twist during the starting and stopping cycle. (See Figure 1.)

Schedule 40 galvanized pipe is suitable for settings to 600 feet (180m). For deeper settings, use schedule 40 pipe for the bottom 600 feet (180m), and schedule 80 for the remainder.

NOTICE: Drop pipe sizes and usages depths should be considered as general guidelines only. Drop pipe manufacturer data and recommendations supersedes these instructions.

Take great care to keep pipes clean and free from pebbles, scale, and thread chips. Make sound, air-tight connections at all fittings. Pipe sealant is recommended.

CHECK VALVES

It is recommended that one or more check valves always be used in submersible pump installations. If the pump does not have a built-in check valve, an inline check valve should be installed in the discharge line within 25 feet of the pump and below the draw down level of the water supply. If permitted by local codes it is recommended that an additional check valve be installed in the system plumbing between the wellhead and the system's pressure tank. For pump installations that are more than 200 feet (60m) below the wellhead; additional check valves should be installed in the drop pipe. This should be done at intervals of 200 feet (60m) or at the check valve manufacturer's specified installation interval. More than one check valve is often needed, but more than the recommended number of check valves should not be used.

Swing type check valves are not acceptable and should never be used with submersible motors/pumps. Swing type check valves have a slower reaction time which can cause water hammer (see next page). Internal pump check valves or spring loaded check valves close quickly and help eliminate water hammer.

Check valves are used to hold pressure in the system when the pump stops. They also prevent backspin, water hammer and upthrust. Any of these can lead to early pump or motor failure.

NOTE: Only positive sealing check valves should be used in submersible installations. Although drilling the check valve or using drain-back check valves may prevent back spinning, they create upthrust and water hammer problems.

A. Backspin - With no check valve or a failed check valve, the water in the drop pipe and the water in the system can flow down the discharge pipe when the motor stops. This can cause the pump to rotate in a reverse direction. If the motor is started while it is back spinning, an excessive force is placed across the pump-motor assembly that can cause impeller damage, motor or pump shaft breakage, excessive bearing wear, etc.
B. Upthrust - With no check valve, a leaking check valve, or drilled check valve, the unit starts under a zero head condition. This causes an uplifting or upthrust on the impeller-shaft assembly in the pump. This upward movement carries across the pump-motor coupling and creates an upthrust condition in the motor. Repeated upthrust can cause premature failure of both the pump and the motor.
C. Water Hammer - If the lowest check valve is more than 30 feet above the standing (lowest static) water level, or a lower check valve leaks and the check valve above holds, a vacuum is created in the discharge piping. On the next pump start, water moving at very high velocity fills the void and strikes the closed check valve and the stationary water in the pipe above it, causing a hydraulic shock. This shock can split pipes, break joints and damage the pump and/or motor. Water hammer can often be heard or felt. When discovered, the system should be shut down and the pump installer contacted to correct the problem.

REMOVABLE POPPET CHECK VALVE

4" submersible pumps with a 1-1/4" discharge are supplied with a spring-loaded, removable poppet check valve assembly. This check valve can be removed from the pump discharge when drain back is desired.

WARNING

Fluid draining back through the pump can go to rotate backwards. If pump/motor starts, damage to the pump can occur.

The check valve can be removed using a T-handle poppet wrench (purchased separately), or with standard needle-nosed pliers. The poppet assembly is left-hand threaded and is removed by turning clockwise.

When reinstalling a poppet check valve assembly, tighten it to 15 inch-pounds.

INSTALLATION OF PUMP, DROP PIPE, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT

Figure 1 illustrates a typical well installation showing in ground components. Adhere to the following items when installing the pump and drop pipe:

1. Fasten the submersible cable to the drop pipe with clamps or appropriate tape every 10 ft. (3m) to prevent tangling and

damage to the cable. The cable must remain slack when using plastic drop pipe to allow for stretching of pipe when installed in the well.

1. Take care not to scrape or pinch the submersible cable against the well casing.
   One sentence needs to be together on same page
2. Use an ohmmeter or megger to make insulation and continuity checks on the cable once the pump is installed. This locates any fault in the cable.
3. Make sure a check valve is in accordance with the guidelines in this manual.
4. Install a torque arrestor just above the pump to prevent chafing the cable when pump and pipe twist during starting and stopping.
5. Attach a safety cable to pump to prevent loss of pump if pipe should break.
6. Place a sanitary well seal or pitless adapter with an approved cover plate over top of well per manufacturers recommendations.
7. Keep pump at least 5' (1.5m) from bottom of well and above well screen or casing perforations.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

1. Employ a licensed electrician to perform the wiring. All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable national and local electrical codes.
2. Check that the power supply corresponds with the electrical rating of the submersible motor and the control box (if required). Make sure that the control box electrical rating matches the motor electrical rating.
3. Every installation requires a fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
4. Every installation must be grounded. There must be a reliable ground connection between the pump and the distribution panel. The motor lead incorporates a green grounding conductor.
5. Lightning arrestors are recommended for every installation. All stainless steel, single phase motors through 5CV have built-in lightning arrestors. 3-phase motors require a separate lightning arrestor installed as close to the wellhead as possible. Install the arrestor in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Lightning arrestors provide protection against only induced voltage surges on secondary power lines; they are not effective against direct hits.
6. Mount the control box in an area protected from rain, snow, direct sunlight, or other high temperatures as this may cause tripping of the overload protector. Also protect the control box from extreme cold (below 25^ F/-32°C) as this may have adverse effects on the starting capacitor.
7. A two-wire pump does not require a motor control box; all electrical components are built inside the motor. Figure 2 shows a typical wiring diagram for a two-wire installation.

1. A three-wire, 1-phase pump requires a motor control box incorporating overload relays. Figure 3 shows a typical wiring diagram for a three-wire, single-phase installation. Note that a magnetic contactor must be used if the pressure switch electrical rating is not sufficient to handle the submersible motor electrical rating. The pressure switch would then be incorporated into a pilot circuit to control the magnetic contactor. Make the connections at the control box in accordance with the wiring diagram in the control box to avoid damage to the motor.

1. Use an ohm meter to make continuity and insulation checks after the installation is completed.
2. Place the additional pump nameplate onto the submersible label and place both onto disconnect switch or circuit breaker box for future reference.

WELL TEST

Check the pump and well performance before making the final connection to the discharge system.

1. Install a gate valve on the end of the pipe. Partially open the valve.
2. Start the pump.
3. Open the valve gradually to give full flow.
4. If the discharge is not clear, let the pump run until water clears. If water does not clear in 30 minutes, stop the pump and take the necessary steps to correct the condition. After the water appears clear, check for sand by discharging into a clean bucket or suitable container.
5. Close valve until maximum required system flow rate is obtained. This should correspond to the cut-in pressure of the pressure switch. Ensure that the output of the pump at this setting is not greater than the yield of the well. This can be checked by monitoring the well drawdown level and ensuring that the level is stable at the maximum required system flow rate.

CAUTION Never run the pump unless it is completely submerged in water. If run without water, the pump and motor could be damaged. Note also that air drawn into the pump can cause an airlock under certain conditions.

LOW-YIELDING WELL

A low-yielding well exists when the output from the pump is greater than the yield of the well. It can reduce the water level to the suction screen so that a mixture of air and water enters the pump. Pumping may stop since the pump cannot generate pressure with insufficient water. In this case, the column of water already in the drop pipe holds the check valve closed and an airlock may develop inside the pump. Because the conditions ensure neither adequate lubrication of the pump nor proper cooling for the motor, damage can result if power is not cut off quickly. Use one or more of the following methods to correct and/or protect this installation.

1. Install an additional length of drop pipe to place pump lower in well if possible.
2. Install a Franklin Pumptec or similar electronic drawdown sensor.

3. Install a floatless liquid level control. This device consists of an electrical relay activated by currents flowing through the ground-return circuits of electrodes hung in the well. The lower (stop) electrode, just above the pump, ensures that the water level can never be pumped down to the suction screen. The upper (start) electrode, just below the lowest static water level, ensures that the pump can start again as soon as the well has recovered. A floatless liquid level control works in series with the pressure switch. Refer to the manufacturers instructions provided with the control.

4. Install a flow control valve in the discharge line upstream from the pressure switch. This restricts the output from the pump without affecting the rate that water can be drawn from the pressure tank. Nevertheless, a heavy demand for water could empty the pressure tank, so a tank with a bonded diaphragm, air cell, or water bag is recommended.

5. Install a smaller pump to avoid over-pumping the well. Have the dealer size the pump to the well yield.
6. Install a low pressure cut off switch, or a pressure switch with such an arrangement built in. This protects a shallow-well pump from losing its prime, but it does not always provide satisfactory protection to a submersible pump from the effects of over-pumping the well. This is because it responds to a loss of pressure at the surface, which may occur after an air lock has formed inside the pump. Either a floatless liquid level control or a flow control valve, in that order, is recommended in preference to a low-pressure cutoff switch as protection against over-pumping.

DISCHARGE PLUMBING

Figure 1 illustrates a typical well installation showing above-ground components. Refer to Figure 1 and the following steps when installing the discharge plumbing.

1. Install an above-ground check-valve upstream from the pressure switch.
2. Always install a pressure relief valve in the system. The relief valve should be capable of discharging the flow rate of the pump at the rated working pressure of the pressure tank. Locate the relief valve close to the pressure tank.
3. Install a pressure switch between the check valve and the pressure tank. Refer to Figure 2, 3, or 4 for proper wiring connections of pressure switch.
4. Install a pressure tank as close as possible to the pressure switch. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for installation.

INSTALLATION IN LAKE OR STREAM

A submersible pump is usually isolated at the bottom of a well, where electrical leakage from its motor and cable presents no hazard to life. This natural protection is lost when it is installed it in a lake, pond, stream, or fountain because there is no way to stop people and animals from entering or touching the surrounding water. It is recommended that such an installation be done by a licensed electrician in conformance with all applicable national and local electrical codes. Grounding as described in this manual is a minimum requirement, and a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is advisable. But in the absence of explicit national or local regulations, ask the local electric utility for guidance. In any case, support the pump from the shore or bottom at a 15^ slant to assure proper motor bearing lubrication. Shield the pump from direct physical contact by people and animals. Protect and screen the pump intake to prevent blockage by leaves and weeds, but remember the need for adequate flow over the motor for cooling purposes. In addition, protect the entire underwater installation from water currents, ice, boats, anchors, debris, vandalism, and other hazards.
