Pro Series Chemical
Resistant Pumps
Description
Pro Series submersible chemical resistant pumps are rated for continuous duty.
Pumps are strong and dependable, and when used intermittently in a sump
application, extends the life of the pump. PSC motor design saves energy,
reduces operation costs and provides better service. Intended for pumping
nonflammable fluids compatible with pump component materials.
General Safety Instructions

This manual contains important
SAFETY WARNINGS and OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS for the C 050 & C 100
pumps. You will need to refer to it
before attempting any installation or
maintenance.
ALWAYS keep these instructions with
the unit so that they will be easily
accessible.
Failure to read and follow these
warnings and instructions could result
in property damage, serious injury, or
death.
R sk of electr c
shock. To reduce
th s r sk, observe the follow ng
precaut ons.
•ALWAYS disconnect the pump from
the power source before servicing or
making adjustments.
•NEVER handle the pump or motor
with wet hands or when standing on
a wet or damp surface while the
pump is plugged into the power
source.
•MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY
GROUNDED RECEPTACLE
AVAILABLE. This pump is wired
with a 3-prong grounded plug. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, be
certain that it is only connected to a
properly grounded, 3-prong
receptacle (preferably with ground
fault circuit interrupt). If you have a
2-prong receptacle, have a licensed
electrician replace it with a 3-prong
receptacle according to local codes
and ordinances.
•NEVER bypass grounding wires or
remove the ground prong from the
plug.
•DO NOT use an extension cord. The
electrical outlet should be within the
length of the pump’s power cord,
and at least 4 feet above the floor

level to minimize potential hazards
from flood conditions.
•DO protect the electrical cord from
sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
•MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a
fuse or circuit breaker rated to handle
the power requirements noted on the
nameplate of the pump.
•NEVER install the pump in locations
classified as hazardous in accordance
with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
•ALWAYS install the pump in
accordance with the National Electric
Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances. All wiring should be
performed by a licensed electrician.
To reduce the r sk
of hazards that can
cause njury or property damage,
observe the follow ng precaut ons.
•DO NOT use the power cord or strain
relief to carry the pump. Use the
pump handle.
•DO NOT operate the pump if it has
been damaged in any way.
•ALWAYS use a float switch that is
compatible with the pumped fluid.
•DO drill an air bleed hole - 1/ ”
(3.2mm) - in the discharge pipe when
a check valve is used. Drill the hole
angled toward the bottom of the
sump to avoid splashing fluid outside
the sump pit. If a hole is not drilled
above the pump, an air lock may
prevent the pump from operating.
The best location for the hole is above
the normal fluid level. The hole must
be drilled below the check valve.
•DO NOT use pump in pits handling
f
luids that are not compatible with the
pump component parts. Refer to the
chemical compatibility chart on page 4.
•DO NOT disassemble the pump.
When service is required, contact
your dealer for additional directions.
NOTE: After the initial installation, be
sure to check the operation by filling
the sump and observing the pump
operation through one full cycle. For
continuous duty operation, the pump
must be submerged at least 3/4 of the
depth of the pump at all times. In
instances where the discharge line is
exposed to freezing temperatures, the
pipe must be sloped downward so any
remaining water will drain out. Failure
to do so will prevent water from exiting
the sump and damage the pump if the
line freezes.
Installation
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
1. Visually inspect your pump. Products
may be damaged during shipping. If
the product has been damaged,
contact your place of purchase.
2. Thoroughly read the instructions
provided to learn specific details
regarding installation and use. This
manual should be retained for future
reference.
INSTALLING THE PUMP
Th s nstallat on
must be n
accordance w th the Nat onal Electr c
Code and all appl cable local codes and
ord nances.
1. Use a pit that conforms to all local
codes and is large enough to
accommodate the pump and float
switch.
2. Clean the pit of all debris. The pump’s
intake screen must be kept clear.
3. The pump should not be set directly
onto a clay, earthen, or sand base.
You may install bricks or blocks under
the pump to provide a solid base.
4. The pump should be level.
5. Install discharge plumbing according
to local, regional and state codes.
Rigid PVC pipe is recommended.
6. The discharge outlets on
the pumps
are 2”. Try to match the size of the
discharge pipe to the size of the outlet
on the pump to maintain the
optimum pumping capacity.
7. An in-line check valve is recommended
to prevent back-flow. This check valve
is mandatory when sharing a discharge
line with another pump (i.e. a back-up
pump or a second primary pump).

General Safety Instructions
(Continued)

NOTE: When using a check valve, an air
bleed hole of 1⁄ ” (3.2mm) needs to be
drilled in the discharge pipe. The hole
should be below the check valve, but
above the water line. A small stream of
water will escape through this air bleed
hole when the pump is running, so the
hole should be drilled at an angle
toward the bottom of the sump pit.
. Install a gate valve or ball valve as
required by any codes.
9. Secure the power cord to the
discharge pipe with wire ties or
clamps to prevent interference with
the float assembly (if used).
10. A pit cover is recommended for all
installations as a safety measure,
and to prevent debris from falling
into the pit.
11. In instances where the discharge
line is exposed to freezing
temperatures, the pipe must be
positioned in a downward slope so
any remaining water will drain
away. Failure to do this will prevent
water from exiting the pit and
damage the pump if the line freezes.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
1. After the initial installation, be sure
to check the pump operation by
filling the sump with water and
observing the pump through one full
cycle.
NOTE: When the pump activates, it
should have a “normal pumping”
sound. Any abnormal sound, vibration,
or lack of output is the signal of a
problem. Stop the pump and refer to
the troubleshooting guide.
2. Replace the pit cover making sure
not to pinch or crimp the pump wire
with the cover. The pit cover either
has a ‘hole punch’ that will allow the
cord to be passed through or one can
be drilled.
Operation
OPERATING THE PUMP IN A
CONTINUOUS DUTY APPLICATION
C 050 and C 100 pumps are rated for
continuous duty and may be used in
applications requiring continuous
pumping including fountains, ponds,
etc. For use in any continuous duty
application the pump should be
plugged directly into the wall outlet
without the use of a controller. The
outlet must be a single phase properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle, 115V,
60Hz (preferably with ground fault
circuit interrupt). For continuous duty
operation, the pump must be submerged
at least 3/4 of the depth of the pump at
all times.
Maintenance
Maintenance should be performed 1-2
times per year.
1. Remove all debris from the bottom
of the pit.
2. Remove all debris floating in the
water.
3. Remove all debris from the float
switch.
4. Fill the pit with water. Make sure
pump turns on at the intended level.
5. While the pump is running, make
sure pump is evacuating water at a
good pace.
6. While the pump is running, make
sure a stream of water is escaping
from the air bleed hole. If not, clear
the hole of any deposits or debris.

Notes:
1. The above list of chemicals is based on the chemical resistance of the pump component materials (304 Stainless Steel pump
housing, motor housing, impeller & hardware and with the carbon/ceramic/Viton mechanical shaft sealand PVC-jacketed line
cord). It is based upon information from material suppliers and careful examination of available published information.
2. Since the resistance of metals, plastics and elastomers can be affected by concentration, temperature, presence of other
chemicals and other factors, the above listing should only be considered as a general guide.
3. It is the responsibility of the user to determine the suitability of the pump with the pumped fluid.
