Frequently Asked Questions - SPV50 Ashland

What is the required power supply voltage for the SPV50 pump?

The Ashland SPV50 pump operates on 115 V and must be plugged into a ground fault circuit interrupter outlet.

How to install the check valve on the pump?

Install the check valve in the discharge pipe, above the sump. Drill a 3/16'' weep hole between the pump and the check valve to prevent air lock.

What to do if the pump runs but does not pump water?

Check that the impeller is not air-locked (purge it), clean the vent hole, intake, and ensure the shut-off valve is open. Also inspect the check valve.

The thermal protection trips frequently, what to do?

This may be due to a blocked impeller by foreign objects. Disconnect the pump, check that the impeller turns freely, and clean the impeller cavity and intake.

What type of pipe to use for discharge?

Use a 1-1/2'' pipe made of ABS, PVC, polyethylene, or galvanized steel. Adapters may be required.

Can the SPV50 pump be used for potable water?

No, this pump contains copper alloys with lead that are not suitable for potable water according to current standards.

How to maintain the pump regularly?

Always disconnect the pump before maintenance. Clean the intake and impeller to remove debris. Inspect the electrical cord regularly.

What is the maximum discharge head of the SPV50?

The maximum discharge head is 26 feet (7.9 meters) at zero flow.

Why should the pump be placed on a hard surface?

To prevent the pump from sinking into clay or gravel, which could block the intake and damage the motor.

What items should not be discharged by the pump?

Do not pump shells, gravel, litter, plastics, wipes, diapers, oils, gasoline, or strong chemicals. This could damage the pump or clog the pipes.

All applicable laws and regulations shall apply.

AWARNTNFTT pumped pumps may contain load levels higher than con

sidered safe for potable water systems. Government agencies have determined that leaded copper alloys should not be used in potable water applications.

AWARNGING, and junction connection must be in accord

ance with the National Electric Code and all applicable state and local codes. Requirements may vary depending on usage and location.

WARNING

Installation and servicing is to be conducted by qualified personnel only.

DANGER

Rotating machinery. Amputation or severe lacerations can

result. Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. DO NOT insert fingers into pump with power connected.

WARNING

wear eye protection when on pumps. Do not wear loose

clothing that may become entangled in moving parts.

DANGER

Pumps build up heat and pressure during operation

Allow time for pumps to cool before handling or servicing.

DANGER

Hazardous Voltage can shock, burn or cause death. This pump is

not intended for use in swimming pools or water installations where human contact with pumped fluid is possible.

DANGER

Risk of electrical shock. To

VGER reduce risk of electrical shock, always disconnect pump from power source before handling. Lock out power & tag.

WARNING Do Not use these pumps in water over 145^ . Do not exceed manufactures recommended maximum performance, as this could cause the motor to overheat.

CAUTION Make sure lifting handles are securely fastened each time before lifting.

DANGER Do not lift, carry or hang pump by the electrical cables. Damage to the electrical cables can cause shock, burns or death. Never handle connected power cords with wet hands. Use appropriate lifting device.

AWARNING Sump and sewage pumps often handle materials which could cause illness or disease. Wear adequate protective clothing when working on a used pump or piping. Never enter a basin after it has been used.

DANGER Failure to permanently ground the pump, motor and controls before connecting to power can cause shock, burns or death.

DANGER These pumps are NOT to be instanced in locations classified as hazardous in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

WARNING Do not introduce into any sewer, either directly, or through a kitchen waste disposal unit or toilet: Seafood Shells, Aquarium Gravel, Cat Litter, Plastic Objects, Sanitary Napkins or Tampons, Diapers, Rags, Disposable Wipes or Cloth, Medications, Flammable Material, Oil or Grease, Strong Chemicals, Gasoline.

Operation against a closed discharge valve will cause premature bearing and seal failure on any pump.
- Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualified electrician.
- Cable should be protected at all times to avoid punctures, cuts, bruises, and abrasions-inspect frequently.
- Never handle connected power cords with wet hands.

Sump Pumps Model: SPV Series Installation

Pre-Installation

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

• This pump is provided with an on/off float switch for automatic operation.
• Care should be taken to prevent the pump from running in a dry sump.
• The pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay or gravel surfaces.
• The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene or galvanized steel pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipe to the pump.
• Install a union in the discharge line, just above the sump pit, to allow for easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.
• A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent back flow of liquid into the basin. The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
• When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole 3/16 in diameter in the discharge pipe. This hole should be located below the floor line between the pump discharge and the check valve. Unless such a relief hole is provided, the pump could "air lock" and will not pump water even though it will run.
• A union and shut-off valve can follow the check valve to allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or removal of the pump.
• The remainder of the discharge line should be as short as possible with the minimum of turns to minimize friction head loss. Do not restrict the discharge to sizes below 2^ .

MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

1-1/2" Discharge pipe
- Optional: 1-1/2" Union,
- Thread sealant tape
1-1/2" Pipe nipple and
1-1/2" Check valve
1-1/2" Shut off valve
1-1/2" Elbow

NOTE: The consumer/installer should purchase either a pre-threaded 1-1/2" MNPT pipe (or unthreaded pipe and pipe threader) or a 1-1/2" or 1-1/4" adapter (1-1/2" MNPT x 1-1/2" slip fit or 1-1/2" MNPT x 1-1/4" slip fit)

Service and Repair

Important: Pump should be thoroughly cleaned of trash and deposits before starting disassembly operations.

Disconnect all power and control wires to motor at control panel before starting disassembly operation. Never rely on opening circuit breaker only.

Operating pump builds up heat and pressure; allow time for pump to cool to room temperature

INSTALLATION

STEP1:

Connecting the discharge pipe to the pump.

Wrap the threads of the 1-1/2" discharge pipe with thread sealant tape. Next attach the discharge pipe to the discharge of the pump.

STEP 2:

Place the pump in basin.

Place pump on a hard surface inside basin.

STEP 3:

Connecting the check valve.

Connect the discharge pipe to the check valve, another section of vertical pipe, elbow, and optional to connect union and shut-off valve after elbow.

OPERATION

STEP4

Connecting power

Plug the power cord into a 115V GFCI power outlet. Allow pump to operate through several on-off cycles by adding water to basin.

STEP5

Operating the pump

When the float switch moves up over the top of the pump, the pump begins to operate. When the water lowers to a certain level, the float switch will turn the pump off.
