General
Information
Pump
Warning
Discharge:
Do not restrict discharge line below
1-1/4". A check valve MUST be
installed to prevent backflow of
water after each cycle. If you are
using 1-1/2" or 1-1/4" PVC pipe
on the discharge line, a Hydromatic
CV-170 check valve is recommended.
Once check valve has been installed,
plumb the discharge line into an
existing drain line.
Basin:
Hydromatic’s 118 Hide-Away Basin
System includes a corrosion-resistant
polypropylene tank with a gasket
cover.
Installation
Instructions
Electrical
Information
Diagram 1 shows the various
connections that must be made for
proper installation and operation.
This is only a guide; actual
installation may vary depending on
the particular situation.
Inlet:
A 1-1/2" inlet is provided on the
118 Hide-Away Basin System.
One method of hookup is to use
a 1-1/2" PVC MIP adapter or
a 1-1/2" PVC MIP marvel
connection (or a similar type of
connection). You may use a
1-1/2" extension tailpiece or
1-1/2" PVC pipe; it depends on the
type of fittings used on the basin
inlet. The P-Trap should be installed
once the appropriate connections are
made on the basin inlet. Once these
fittings are installed the rest of the
piping may be plumbed.
Vent:
Provision has been made for a
2" vent to allow maximum
volume for any application and
proper operation of pump.
The vent may be reduced
to no less than 1-1/4". Venting
is essential for proper pump
operation and should not be
omitted. The 118 Hide-Away Basin
System may be vented into an
existing vent stack or use a BOCA
in-line vent. Check local codes.
Caution:
Always disconnect pump from the
electrical power source before doing
any maintenance. Your sink pump
system is manufactured for easy
maintenance. Each unit is individually
factory-tested to ensure proper
adjustment and operation. If unit
fails to operate properly, carefully
read instructions again to make sure
correct procedure has been followed.
WARNING! Risk of electrical shock.
This pump is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding type
attachment plug. To reduce risk of
electrical shock, connect only to a
properly grounded grounding-type
receptacle. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming
pool areas.
DO NOT WORK ON
PUMP UNTIL POWER IS
UNPLUGGED.
The model 118 Hide-Away Basin
System is specially designed for
pumping wastewater from laundry
trays, washing machines, wet bars,
water softeners, dehumidifiers, etc.
This pump system installs above
floor level, no need to dig a sump!
This pump system cannot be used
for laundry/dishwasher applications
in a commercial or industrial
environment.

line with a minimum capacity of 15
amps. NEVER touch the pump when
it is connected to electrical power.
The receptacle should be located
at least 4 feet above floor level.
When wiring this pump follow all
local electrical and safety codes and
ordinances as well as the most recent
National Electrical Code.

Limited Warranty
HYDROMATIC warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) of HYDROMATIC Sump Pumps, Effluent
Pumps, Sewage Pumps (other than 2-1/2”), and Package Systems, that they will be free from defects in material and
workmanship for the Warranty Period of 36 months from date of manufacture.
Our warranty will not apply to any product that, in our sole judgement, has been subject to negligence, misapplication, improper
installation, or improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three phase motor with single phase power
through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note also that three phase motors must be protected by three-leg, ambient
compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the recommended size or the warranty is void.
Your only remedy, and HYDROMATIC’s only duty, is that HYDROMATIC repair or replace defective products (at
HYDROMATIC’s choice). You must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty
service through the installing dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted if received
after the Warranty Period has expired. This warranty is not transferable.
EXCEPTIONS: Hydromatic Special Application Pumps, Battery Back-Up Sump Pumps, Filtered Effluent Pumps, Grinder
Pumps, and 2-1/2” Sewage Pumps are warranted for a period of 12 months from date of purchase or 18 months from date of
manufacture, whichever comes first.
HYDROMATIC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT
DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION
PROVIDED HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on the duration of an
implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives You specific legal rights and
You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
This Limited Warranty is effective June 1, 2011 and replaces all undated warranties and warranties dated before June 1, 2011.
