1. INTRODUCTION
The PowerSewer® by Franklin Electric is a grinder pump pressure sewer
system designed for residential and commercial applications. The
following information is about installing the PowerSewer® to be used
as a complete system. The system includes a large-capacity rotomolded
polyethylene collection tank, fiberglass cover, specially designed
grinder pump, pump quick disconnect system, float tree assembly,
control panel, and flexible discharge pipe connector.
The grinder pump discharges wastewater from the property to a force
main, gravity main, or remote treatment facility. The PowerSewer®
does not rely on slopes since the PowerSewer® grinder pump supplies
the energy that moves the liquid. The wastewater is pumped from the
collection tank through small-diameter service lateral piping, which is
buried in a shallow, narrow trench that follows the contour of the land.
1.1 Product Description
A ball check valve prevents backflow into the collection tank from the
service lateral or force main. It is recommended that a redundant check
valve and corporation stop valve be installed at the connection to a
force main for added protection from backflows.

1.3 Shipping Configuration
The PowerSewer® system is shipped ready to install. The system is
packaged at the factory to minimize transportation and handling
damage. The shipping weight ranges from 200 to 400 pounds,
depending on the depth of the system.
1.4 Transportation and Handling
The PowerSewer® should be transported and stored in a vertical
position. Make sure that it cannot fall over. Make sure that it cannot
roll or move around. Make sure that no other equipment or freight is
stacked on the PowerSewer®.
Always lift the PowerSewer® from the bottom using the provided
pallet or by using a non-marring sling around the tank. Before any
attempt is made to move the tank, the installer should ensure that
the installation equipment has sucient capacity and can reach to
lift and position the tank without dragging or dropping it on the
ground. Although the exterior surfaces of the PowerSewer® are
designed to withstand normal handling, they can be damaged during
transportation, handling and installation. The basin must not be
dropped, dragged, rolled or handled with sharp objects. Handle the
tank in an upright position whenever possible.
WARNING Keep out from under suspended loads.
Locate overhead utilities before lifting equipment.
WARNING Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or
cause death. Do not lift, carry or hang grinder pump by the electrical
cable. Damage to the electrical cable can cause shock, burns or death.
CAUTION The use of chains or cables on the
PowerSewer® tank is not permitted under any circumstances. Do not
drop, drag, roll or handle the tank with sharp objects. Failure to follow
these warnings and instructions will immediately void the warranty.
NOTICE If the collection tank or other PowerSewer®
component is suspected of being damaged, installation should be
suspended until the extent of the damage can be determined by
an authorized Franklin Electric representative. Any field repairs or
alterations must be authorized in writing by Franklin Electric and then
performed in accordance with Franklin Electric written instructions.
Failure to secure written authorization before proceeding with field
repairs or alterations will immediately void the warranty.
1.5 Storage
Although PowerSewer® systems can be stored outside, it is
recommended that the systems be stored inside. For extended
periods of storage, the pump and electronic controls must be
protected from moisture, heat, and UV rays (sunlight).
After an extended period of storage, the system should be inspected
before it is put into operation. Pay close attention to all of the valves,
grommets, and gaskets. Inspect the grinder pump’s mechanical seal
and rotate the pump’s impeller by hand to ensure that the mechanical
seal faces are not stuck together. If the system is stored for more than
six months, perform this manual rotation every other month.
WARNING Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or
cause death. Failure to disconnect and lock out all electrical power
before rotating impeller can shock, burn or cause severe personal
injury or death.
CAUTION Hazardous machinery can cause severe
personal injury. Rotating cutter assembly is very sharp and can cause
severe personal injury.
NOTICE Failure to rotate grinder pump impeller
by hand after extended storage period can result in premature
mechanical seal failure.
The grinder pump is frost-proof as long as it is operating or is
immersed in liquid. If the pump is taken up when the temperature is
below freezing, the impeller may freeze. The grinder pump should be
operated for a brief period after being taken up to expel all remaining
liquid. A frozen impeller can be thawed by allowing the pump to
stand immersed in liquid for a short period before it is started.
CAUTION
Never use an open flame to thaw a frozen pump.

8
3. INSTALLING COLLECTION TANK
Strict adherence to these proven methods and procedures will ensure
the long-term performance of your PowerSewer® system. Studies
by regulatory agencies and trade organizations indicate that the
most significant source of leaks and failures in underground storage
structures is improper handling and installation.
3.1 Excavating for Collection Tank
The excavation should provide adequate space for the collection
tank, piping, other buried equipment, and for the placement and
compaction of backfill materials. The size, shape, and wall slope should
be determined by the site’s soil conditions, depth of excavation,
shoring and sheeting requirements, and safety regulations.
WARNING Safe excavation procedures are the
responsibility of the installer. Work safety requirements are defined
by US Department of Labor 29 CFR part 1926, subpart P, Excavations.
3.2 Excavation Location
Excavation for the PowerSewer® collection tank should be made with
due care to avoid undermining foundations of existing structures
and contact with overhead or underground utilities. In the absence
of specific code requirements, maintain a distance of 7' with a slope
of 45° from the collection tank to adjacent structures, foundations,
footings, and property lines. Additional distances may be required
to assure that any loading carried or created by adjacent structures
cannot not be transferred to the PowerSewer® collection tank.
WARNING Locate all underground and overhead
utilities before excavation. Call 888-258-0808 at least two business
days before excavating for a referral to your local “One-Call” utilities
location center.
NOTICE Do not locate the PowerSewer® excavation in
drainage areas or other low points on the building lot. Failure to
locate PowerSewer® in proper location will void warranty.
3.3 Excavation Depth
Excavate the hole to a depth equal to 4-1/2" plus the collection tank
depth. When finished, the collection tank rim should be at least
1-1/2" above final grade. The final grade should slope away from the
collection tank to avoid surface water from ponding on or around the
collection tank and cover.
NOTICE Do not install collection tank rim below
final grade. Below grade installations void the warranty.
3.4 Bedding Material
Place and compact gravel bedding to a minimum depth of 6".
The gravel should be a naturally rounded aggregate, clean and
free-flowing, with a particle size not less than 1/8" or more
than 3/4" in diameter.
3.5 Setting the Collection Tank
Ensure that all packaging materials have been removed from the
PowerSewer® prior to setting the collection tank. Lift and lower the
collection tank using the methods previously outlined in section 1.4,
Transportation and Handling.
3.6 Positioning the Collection Tank
Center and level the collection tank on the compacted gravel bedding.
Fill the collection tank with water to the bottom of the discharge
piping to limit the movement of the collection tank during backfilling
and pouring of the concrete ballast.
3.7 Ballasting Collection Tank with Concrete
A concrete ballast anchor must be poured over the collection tank’s
integral anti-flotation flange to properly secure the collection tank in
the ground. This will prevent the collection tank from floating up out
of the ground due to hydrostatic pressure from high water tables. The
concrete ballast must be a minimum of 8" thick, extending at least 4"
above the integral anti-flotation flange and 12" out from the collection
tank. See the installation drawing on page 28 for details.
CAUTION Concrete ballast is not optional.
Failure to properly ballast the collection tank may result in
collection tank floating up out of the ground, causing damage
to the piping and equipment.
NOTICE This ballast method requires that proper
compacted backfill material be used as described in section 10,
Backfilling Around the Collection Tank. This is the only acceptable
method of ballasting the collection tank. To receive detailed
anti-flotation calculations or approval of alternative methods,
contact Franklin Electric Technical Services at 866-271-2859.

4. SOLVENT CEMENTING JOINTS
The flexible discharge pipe connector and inlet piping are joined
to the PowerSewer® system with solvent cement joints for easy,
cost-eective, liquid-tight connections. To ensure proper connections,
carefully follow these instructions.
WARNING
Solvent cements and primers for PVC pipe
and fittings are flammable. Extinguish all
smoking materials, flames or other ignition
sources in working and storage areas. Avoid
eye and unnecessary skin contact with all
cements, primers, and solvents. Ingestion
or intentional inhalation of vapors can
cause severe personal injury or death.
Additional safety precautions may apply; consult solvent cement,
primer or solvent manufacturers for more information.
4.1 Preparing Joints
Wipe away all loose dirt and moisture from the pipe and fitting
surfaces with a clean, dry, cotton rag.
4.2 Pre-Connection Inspection
Check the joint to make sure there is an interference fit between
the pipe and fitting. This is necessary for proper fusion of the joint.
To check, lightly push the pipe into the fitting. Do not use force.
Interference between the pipe and fitting should occur between 1/2" of
socket depth, “full interference fit,” and the socket bottom, “net fit.”
NOTICE Do not use force when checking interference fit.
Do not use components that do not fit properly.
4.3 Applying Primer
Primer is necessary to penetrate and soften both the pipe and the
fitting surfaces in order for the solvent cement to properly bond.
NOTICE The most frequent cause of joint failure is
insucient application of primer and solvent cement. This results in
inadequate solvent penetration and softening of bonding surfaces
during the solvent welding process.
Using a brush or applicator sized no less than 7/8" diameter, apply a
liberal coat of primer with a scrubbing motion to the fitting socket
until the entire surface is softened and semi-fluid. This may take
5 to 15 seconds depending on the temperature. Lower temperatures
will increase the required time. Apply the primer to the pipe in the
same manner. Apply a second coat to both the fitting socket and pipe.
Check solvent penetration and softening by scratching the primed
surfaces. A few thousandths of an inch of the fitting’s surface should
be semi-fluid. Apply another coat of primer if necessary.
4.4 Applying Solvent Cement
Solvent cement must be applied immediately to the primed surfaces
before the primer dries, in an alternating three-coat application. Using
a brush or applicator sized no less than 7/8" diameter, apply a liberal
coat of solvent cement to the primed pipe bonding surface. Then
apply a light to medium coat to the primed fitting socket. If a “net fit”
was experienced during the Pre-Connection Inspection, section 4.2,
apply an additional coat of solvent cement to the pipe surface.
NOTICE The most frequent cause of joint failure is
insucient application of primer and solvent cement. This results in
inadequate solvent penetration and softening of bonding surfaces
during the solvent welding process. Make sure to apply the solvent
cement before the primer dries.
4.5 Joining Pipe and Fittings
Immediately following application of solvent cement and before
it starts to set, push the pipe into the fitting socket with a 1/4-turn
twisting motion to evenly distribute the solvent cement within
the joint. A full bead of solvent cement should form around the
circumference of the joint. Hold the joint together for approximately
30 seconds to make sure that the joint does not move or come apart.
NOTICE The absence of bead formation or the presence
of voids or gaps in the bead areas is a sign of insucient solvent
cement application. If this is observed, immediately pull the joint
apart and reapply an adequate amount of solvent cement.
4.6 Cleaning Joint
Using a clean cloth, wipe all excess solvent cement from the exterior
of the pipe and fitting.
4.7 Joint Curing
The joint must not be moved or handled for a minimum of two
minutes, after which the joint must be carefully handled until the
solvent cement has gone through the proper set time based on
ambient temperature. Suggested set times are:
• Ambient Temperature 60 to 100 °F (15 to 40 °C), 1/2 hour set time
• Ambient Temperature 40 to 59 °F (5 to 14 °C), 1 hour set time
• Ambient Temperature 20 to 39 °F (–5 to 4 °C), 2 hour set time
• Ambient Temperature 10 to 19 °F (–12 to –6 °C), 4 hour set time
NOTICE The joint must be adequately set prior to
use. Required set time depends on site temperature. The above
information is based on the guidelines of ASTM D2855, “Standard
Practice for Making Solvent-Cemented Joints with Poly Vinyl Chloride
(PVC) Pipe and Fittings.” It is the installer’s responsibility to determine
that the joint has properly set for handling, testing and use.

5. INSTALLING DROP INLET PIPE
The PowerSewer® has been designed with a unique factory-installed
drop inlet connection, which provides complete connection flexibility.
The inlet pipe can rotate over 180°. It can also be raised or lowered.
The factory-supplied grommet seals to the inlet pipe and drop inlet
chute without fasteners, adhesive, sealant or threads.
NOTICE The PowerSewer® system ships with a standard
4" Schedule 40 PVC Female Coupling installed in the drop inlet chute.
Other inlet coupling sizes and types are available upon request.
5.1 Preparing Drop Inlet Pipe
Measure and cut the drop inlet pipe to the height necessary to
accommodate the service lateral from the property.
NOTICE Do not cut the drop inlet pipe shorter than 12".
Cutting the drop inlet pipe shorter than 12" could result in sewage
surcharging back into the service lateral. Drop inlet heights of less
than 12" void warranty.
5.2 Assembling Drop Inlet Pipe
After the drop inlet pipe has been cut to size, dry fit it into drop inlet
coupling. Next, dry fit elbow or sanitary tee onto the drop inlet pipe.
Then, dry fit service lateral from property into elbow or sanitary tee.
Make any necessary adjustments to the drop inlet pipe for a proper fit.
NOTICE If a cleanout is not available in the property
service lateral, it is recommended that a sanitary tee be installed
with a riser near final grade and cleanout fitting.
NOTICE Do not use force when dry fitting drop inlet
pipe and fitting connections.
5.3 Solvent Cementing Drop Inlet Pipe Assembly
After the drop inlet pipe assembly has been satisfactorily dry fitted,
follow the procedures outlined in section 4, Solvent Cementing Joints.
6. INSTALLING FLEXIBLE
DISCHARGE PIPE CONNECTOR
The flexible discharge pipe connector is a 48", flexible, polyethylene
pipe. It is designed to compensate for discharge pipe misalignment
and collection tank settlement, eliminating costly and frustrating
callbacks for broken fittings. The factory-installed connector fittings
are manufactured from PVC resin and provide both 1-1/4" socket and
2" spigot connections for familiar solvent cement joints. To ensure
leak-free joints, carefully follow the procedures outlined in section 4,
Solvent Cementing Joints.
Franklin Electric recommends installing a redundant check valve and
corporation stop valve where the lateral line joins the force main.

11
7. INSTALLING THE VENT
The PowerSewer® system includes a 2" remote vent cap to facilitate
local plumbing code compliance while preserving the surrounding
landscaping. The remote vent cap is made from non-corrosive
polypropylene and is fitted with a stainless steel bug screen. The vent
cap is a non-vortexing design to minimize nuisance odors.
CAUTION This is a sewage-handling pump and must be
vented in accordance with national, state, and local plumbing codes.
7.1 Vent Coupling Location
The vent pipe and coupling connection is factory-installed in a
grommet mounted in the vent boss 12" below the collection tank rim.
NOTICE The PowerSewer® system ships with a standard
2" Schedule 40 PVC Female Coupling installed in the vent boss. Other
vent coupling sizes and types are available upon request.
7.2 Vent Cap Location
The remote vent cap can be located in any convenient non-
conspicuous location that is not in conflict with national, state or local
plumbing codes. When determining vent cap height, consider site
conditions such as surface water, snow cover and potential flooding.
7.3 Vent Pipe Slope
The vent piping should be installed so it slopes 1/8" per foot towards
the PowerSewer® collection tank.
NOTICE Vent pipe and fittings are supplied by installer.
7.4 Solvent Cementing Vent Piping and Fittings
Once vent piping and fittings are determined, solvent cement them
together using the procedures outlined in section 4.0, Solvent
Cementing Joints.
NOTICE Joints and fittings in the vent piping must
be watertight. If not, ground and surface water could infiltrate
the PowerSewer® system, resulting in unnecessary pumping
and treatment costs.
7.5 Installing the Remote Vent Cap
The vent cap is supplied with 2" NPT threads. Screw the vent cap into a
2" NPT female adapter (supplied by installer) until hand-tight. Thread
sealant is unnecessary.
8. LOCATING AND MOUNTING
THE CONTROL PANEL
This control is mounted in a NEMA 4X enclosure for external mounting

10. BACKFILLING AROUND COLLECTION TANK
Careful selection, placement and compaction of approved backfill
materials is critical to the successful collection tank installation.
Common causes of leaks or collection tank failures include:
• Use of incorrect backfill material
• Improper placement of backfill material
• Inadequate compaction of backfill material
• Rocks, clods, frozen matter or other debris in the backfill material
• Voids under or around the collection tank
• Failure to prevent the migration of the backfill
10.1 Approved Backfill Materials
The following materials are approved as
backfill materials when installed as detailed
below. All backfill materials must be free of
rocks, clods, roots, organic material, frozen
matter and any other debris.
NOTICE Use of alternative
materials or methods is strictly prohibited
and will immediately void the warranty without
prior written authorization from Franklin Electric.
Angular Aggregate, Open Graded, Class 1A
Class 1A materials as defined in ASTM D 2321 provide maximum
stability and support for a given density due to the angular interlock
of particles. With minimum eort, Class 1A materials can be installed
to relatively high densities over a wide range of moisture contents.
Their high permeability may aid in the control of water. However,
avoid placing above, below or adjacent to finer materials when
ground water flow is suspected, unless methods are used to prevent
migration, which will undermine the support of the collection tank.
Aggregate, Dense Graded, Class 1B
Class 1B materials as defined by ASTM D 2321 are created by combining
Class 1A and natural or processed sands to produce a particle distribution
that minimizes migration from adjacent materials that contains fines.
Because they are densely-graded, they will require more compaction
eort than Class 1A to achieve the same density. Class 1B materials oer
high stiness and strength when properly compacted and, depending
on the percentage of fines, may be relatively free draining.
Gravels, Sands and Soils, Class 2
Class 2 materials as defined by ASTM D 2321, include clean gravels and
sands with less than 5% fines and clean, compactible soil that contain
less than 12% fines. Class 2 materials consist of rounded materials and
are less stable than Class 1 angular materials. They will not provide
adequate support unless they are carefully compacted and confined
with a geotextile fabric liner.
10.2 Flowable Fills
Flowable fills, such as low lump concrete, are recommended when
installing the PowerSewer® in augered holes which do not provide
sucient clearance to place and compact the other approved dry fills.
It is important to carefully place the flowable fills to ensure that the
constituent materials do not separate.
NOTICE Heavy non-compactible clays and silts are
unacceptable backfill for this or any other underground structure
such as inlet or discharge pipe. Contact Franklin Electric Technical
Services before using alternative backfill materials. Failure to
follow these backfilling instructions or material requirements will
immediately void the warranty.
10.3 Placement and Compaction
Place backfill materials in lifts no deeper than 12" and compact to a
minimum density of 85% Standard Proctor.
CAUTION Do not permit the compaction equipment
to contact and damage the collection tank, piping or electrical cables.
NOTICE The various approved backfill materials will
require dierent levels of compaction and confinement eort to
achieve the proper density and ensure long-term underground
performance. If uncertain, refer to ASTM D 2321 or contact Franklin
Electric Technical Services at 866-271-2859 before proceeding.
NOTICE To keep dry well and cover fasteners clear of
moisture and debris, keep cover bolted in place while backfilling.
NOTICE Before using heavy equipment near or directly
over the PowerSewer® system, pipe or electrical cables, place
sucient backfill that has been compacted to prevent damage,
excessive deflection or other damaging disturbance.
10.4 Finished Grade
The finished grade should be 1-1/2" to 2" below the rim of the
collection tank. It should always slope away from the dry well to
prevent ground or surface water from pooling on or collecting in the
collection tank dry well.

14
11. STARTING UP THE SYSTEM
The PowerSewer® grinder pump pressure sewer system installation
is now complete and ready for use. The following start-up procedure
should be followed to verify proper system installation and operation.
11.1 Pre-Startup Checklist
Pre-Startup requirements include:
• Verify that all breakers and power supplies are disconnected or
in the “o” position.
• Verify the electrical supply power.
• Verify the locations of all isolation valves and corporation stops on
the property, at the force main connection and in the force main.
• Verify that all isolation valves and corporation stops are
in the “open” position.
• Verify that the redundant check valve is installed where the
lateral line joins the force main.
• Verify that all cables are the proper size and suitable for
direct bury service.
• Verify that all wiring connections match the Wiring Diagram.
• Verify that all cord grips are properly tightened.
WARNING Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or
cause death. Verify the required electrical supply power for specific
grinder pump matches that of the grinder model being used. Using the
incorrect voltage or phase can cause fire or damage the pump motor or
cause severe personal injury and will immediately void the warranty.
11.2 Flush System
Prior to testing or operating the PowerSewer® system, the inlet piping
should be flushed to force any construction debris into the collection
tank. Remove all of the debris from the collection tank.
NOTICE Do not use the grinder pump to remove
installation debris. Doing so will void the warranty.
11.3 Installing Grinder Pump
WARNING Failure to disconnect and lockout
electrical power before installing the grinder pump can cause shock,
burn or bodily injury, possibly including death.
The electrical connection for the grinder pump must be made in the
field. Utilizing a 9/16" wrench or socket, remove the six bolts holding
the tank cover in place. Then using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver,
loosen the four screws securing the cover to the junction box. Inside
will be three direct burial wire nuts for the connection.
Remove the cover to the wet well. Reaching into the wet well access,
you will be able to bring the power cord through strain relief and cord
grip. Then bring the power cord through the cord grip and grommet in
the side of the junction box.
The length of the power cord is 10' long regardless of the size of
the tank. Do not leave extra cord inside of wet well. The cable may
become entangled in the rotating cutters or interfere with the
operation. The cord may be cut in the field or looped in the dry well
around the wet well access opening.
Proper wire stripping technique should be used to ensure that the
insulation of the individual conductor is not cut while removing the
outer jacket of the pump power cable. Remove the outer jacket of the
pump power cable and remove the insulation material. Carefully strip
back 1/2" of insulation o the individual conductors.
WARNING In stripping the outer jacket, the inner
insulation must not be cut or damaged. Damaged insulation can
cause electrical shock, burns, or death and/or damage to the pump.
This will void the warranty.
Refer to the Wiring Diagram for details. Utilizing the provided wire
nuts ensures that the proper electrical connections are made prior to
power being applied to the system.
Once the wiring is connected, attach the lift handle to the top of the
pump with the provided clevis pin. Then align the stand-o bracket
with the C-Channel guide rail. Carefully lower the pump down the
guide rail until it comes to a rest on the isolated pump support bracket.
NOTICE Do not drop the pump into the disconnect stop.
Severe damage to the pump and/or C-Channel may occur. This will
void the warranty.
After installing the pump, verify all electrical connections prior to
turning the power on. Tighten the strain relief entry through the dry
well. Then tighten the cord grip into the junction box. Replace the
cover, being sure to align the cover, and tighten the four screws to fit
5 ft-lbs. Do not overtighten the cover screws as they will break or strip.
NOTICE Failure to make watertight connection in the
junction box may result in corrosion to electrical contact and result in
premature pump failure. This will void the warranty.
11.4 Open Discharge Valve
Turn the isolation valve extension handle to the “open” position.
The handle will be parallel with the discharge pipe.
The start-up procedure cannot be completed with the isolation
valve in the “closed” position. In some installations, there may be
one or more isolation valves at the force main connection or in the
force main that must be open to complete the start-up procedure.
The isolation valve(s) must remain in the “open” position for
normal system operation.

15
11.5 Turn On Power
With the control panel grinder pump disconnect/breaker in the “o”
position, turn on the property service panel breakers supplying power
to the pump and system monitor.
11.6 Fill Collection Tank
Fill the collection tank with water until the “high-level” alarm sounds
and the light illuminates in the control panel. This should occur within
6" of the inlet pipe invert. The “high-level” alarm should also be visible
and audible. Press the “stop” button to silence the audible alarm.
11.7 Turn Grinder Pump On
Move the grinder pump power disconnect/breaker to the “on”
position. The grinder pump should turn on immediately. Within two
minutes the high-level alarm LED will turn o and automatically reset.
Within five minutes the grinder pump should turn o, with the liquid
level approximately 1' from the bottom of the collection tank.
11.8 Troubleshooting
If the PowerSewer® system does not respond as described, review the
installation instructions to ensure that they were followed completely.
If the system still does not respond properly, refer to specific pump
owner's manual.
11.9 Secure the System
Close the Junction Box cover, align cover tabs and uniformly tighten
all four fasteners. Replace wet well access cover. Make sure the wet
well cover seats completely for a watertight seal. The cover fits very
tightly. Step on the cover to ensure it is seated properly. Replace the
tank cover and uniformly tighten all six bolts to 100 in-lbs.
CAUTION The PowerSewer® cover must be properly
secured to the collection tank at all times. If bolts or sealing
washers are lost or damaged, contact your Franklin Electric Sales
Representative or Franklin Electric Customer Service immediately
at 866-271-2859.
CAUTION Failure to create watertight seals at the cord
grips or enclosure lid may result in premature system failure.
11.10 Review System with Property Owner
Review the PowerSewer® system and monitor features with the
property owner.
12. OPERATION
The PowerSewer® grinder pump sewer system is equipped with a float
control system that continuously controls the grinder pump operation.
12.1 Automatic Operation
Sewage enters the collection tank through the drop inlet pipe. When the
level reaches a preset “on” point, the “on” float switch sends a signal to
the pump start relay energizing the pump motor. The pump motor will
remain energized until the sewage level reaches the preset “o” point
and activates the “o” float switch and de-energizes the pump motor.
12.2 Manual Operation
The PowerSewer® residential and commercial grinder pump system
is equipped with a manual override button, labeled “Hand,” which
allows for temporary manual operation of the pump. Press and hold
the manual override button to operate the pump. As soon as the
button is released, the system is immediately returned to automatic
operation. The manual override option is helpful when diagnosing a
problem because it will isolate the pump from the control system.
It also can be used to clean the collection tank by operating the pump
past the “o” position to remove scum or grease that has collected on
the surface of the sewage.
12.3 High-Level Alarm
The High-Level Alarm will energize when the sewage level rises to a
level that activates the high-level float switch. The PowerSewer® does
have reserve capacity, but should only be used for emergency purposes.
12.4 System Care
Properly installed, operated and maintained, the PowerSewer®
grinder pump system will provide many years of reliable service. The
service life of your PowerSewer® grinder pump could be shortened if
the following items are put down a drain or toilet:
Bones, Cloth, Condoms, Dental Floss, Diapers, Glass, Metal,
Nylons, Plastic, Sanitary Napkins, Seafood Shells, Tampons,
Wood, Cigarette Filters.
CAUTION
Resulting premature wear is not covered by warranty.
The following hazardous items should never be introduced into any
sewer system because of the potential for blockage, contamination,
corrosion, explosion or fire:
Corrosive Chemicals, Explosives, Flammable Liquids or
Materials, Gasoline, Grease, Oil, Paint, Paint Cleaners,
Volatile Organic Chemicals.
