Description and Application:
HTS33A1 series pumps are single
seal units. These pumps are
designed for use in pumping high
temperature liquids that do not
exceed 200˚F (93˚C). These pumps
are not designed for pumping
potable water. These pumps are not
for use in swimming pools,
decorative fountains, or any
installation where human contact
with pumped fluid is common or
possible.
HTS33A1 series pumps use a
1/3 HP shaded pole, 1550 RPM
motor, and are available in
115 volt, single phase. All pumps
are supplied with a 20' power
cord.
All automatic pumps are supplied
with a mechanical (mercury-free)
piggyback float switch rated for
high temperature use. The
HTS33A1 series pumps are
designed to pass 3/4" spherical
solids. Pump impeller is a vortex
design. All pumps have 1-1/2"
NPT discharge.
Air Locking:
A pump is said to be air locked if
water traps air in the pump and it
cannot get out, thus preventing the
pump from operating. HTS33A1
series pumps have a 1/8" air vent
Pump
Introduction
Pump Handling:
Pumps will build up heat and
pressure during operation. Allow
time for pump to cool before
handling or servicing. Only
qualified personnel should install,
operate or repair pump. Keep
clear of suction and discharge
openings. DO NOT insert fingers
or any objects in the pump with
power connected. Make sure
lifting handles are securely
fastened each time before lifting.
DO NOT lift pump by power
cord.
DO NOT exceed manufacturer’s
recommendation for maximum
performance, as this could cause
the motor to overheat.
ALWAYS secure the pump in its
operating position so it cannot tip
over, fall, or slide. Keep hands

hole in the impeller chamber to let
out trapped air. If this hole
becomes plugged, pump may air
lock. As a secondary precaution a
1/8" hole should be drilled in the
discharge pipe below the check
valve. The check valve should be
12" to 18" above pump discharge.
Do not put check valve directly
into pump discharge opening.
Packaging:
Each pump is packaged separately
in a carton marked with a catalog
number and a Hydromatic
engineering number. The pumps
are carefully packaged to prevent
damage in shipping. However,
occasionally damage may result
due to rough handling. Carefully
go over pump and check for
damage that could cause pump
to fail.
Level Controls:
All HTS33A1 pumps are supplied
with a 20 foot mechanical
(mercury-free), piggyback float
switch. The piggyback switch
is tethered directly to pump.
The switch must float free
from pump and basin wall. Plug
the switch cord plug into a
properly grounded, rated voltage
receptacle. Plug the power cord
into the back of the switch cord
and tape the cords to the discharge
pipe approximately every 12".
The power receptacle must be
located outside the wet sump or
basin due to the danger of current
leakage.
Motor Type:
The motors used in the HTS33A1
series pumps are pressed into the
cast iron housings and surrounded
by dielectric oil for superior heat
dissipation. All models use a
1/3 HP shaded pole, 1550 RPM
motor. All models have Class B
Installations
Basin or tanks must be vented in
accordance with local plumbing
codes. These pumps are not
designed for and cannot be
installed in locations classified as
hazardous in accordance with the
National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70.
When installing HTS33A1 series
pumps in high temperature
installations, ALL basins, tanks,
piping, fittings, additional floats
and cables must have rating
exceeding 200˚F (93˚C). Also
pumps are not to be used in
environments where ambient
temperatures exceed 200˚F (93˚C).
CAUTION: If pump is to be
used for pumping sewage
effluent: never enter pump
chamber after sewage or
effluent has been in basin.
Sewage water can give off
methane, hydrogen sulfide
and other gases which are
highly poisonous.
Hydromatic recommends
installing effluent pumps with a
quick removal system. The quick
removal system may be a union or
Cam-lok coupling if the pipe is
within reach from the surface, or a
rail system type quick disconnect
on deeper installations.
The dosing tank or pumping
chamber must be constructed of
corrosion-resistant materials and
must be capable of withstanding
all anticipated internal and
external loads. It also must not
allow infiltration or exfiltration.
The tank must have provisions for
anti-buoyancy. Access holes
or covers must be adequate size
and be accessible from the
surface to allow for installation
and maintenance of the system.
Access covers must be lockable or
heavy enough to prevent easy
access by unauthorized personnel.
The pumping chamber holding
capacity should be selected to
allow for emergency conditions.
The discharge pipe must be
the same size as the pump
discharge, 1-1/2" or larger. In order
to ensure sufficient fluid velocity
to prevent any residual solids
from collecting in the discharge
pipe, it is recommended that a
minimum flow of 2 per second
be maintained (12 GPM through
1-1/2" pipe, 21 GPM through 2"
pipe and 46 GPM through 3"
pipe). A full flow (ball or gate)
shut-off valve must be installed to
prevent back flow of effluent if
the pump must be removed for
service. A check valve must be
installed on pressure sewer
systems to prevent backflow and
to reduce wear on the pump
system. A high water alarm must
be installed on a separate circuit
from the pump circuit. The alarm
should have the ability to be tested
for proper operation.
motor windings, are available in
115 volts with overload
protection, and use a double
sleeve bearing design. These
pumps have no starting switches
and do not require a control panel
for individual installations.

Read the following instructions
carefully before replacing
any parts. Reasonable care and
safe methods should be practiced.
Check local codes and
requirements before installation.
Only competent electrician should
make the installations.
Points to Check if Pump Does Not
Run or Does Not Run Properly:
1. Pump does not run or start
when water is up in tank.
a. Check for blown fuse or
tripped circuit breaker.
b. Check for defective level
switch.
c. Where control panel is used
be sure H-O-A switch is in
the Auto position. If it does
not run turn, switch to the
Hand position and if the
pump runs then the trouble is
in the automatic electrical
system. Have an electrician
make electrical checks.
d. Check for burned out motor.
Occasionally lightning can
damage a motor even with
lightning protection.
e. Where plug-in cords are used
be sure contact blades are
clean and making good
contact. Do not use plug-in
cords inside a sump or wet
well.
f. Level control ball or weight
may be stuck on side of basin.
Be sure it floats freely.
2. Pump runs but does not deliver
flow.
a. Check for air lock. Start and
stop pump several times. If
this does not help, it may be
necessary to loosen a union in
the discharge line to relieve
air lock.
b. Check valve may be installed
backward. Check flow arrow
on valve body. Check shut-
off valve. It may be closed.
c. Check vertical elevation. It
may be higher than pump can
deliver. (See pump curve.)
d. Pump inlet may be plugged.
Remove pump to check.
CAUTION: Always unplug
power cords or turn off all the
main and branch circuit
breakers before doing any work
on the pump.
If control panel is remote from
pump, disconnect lead wires to
motor so that no one can turn the
circuit breaker back on.
Before Dismantling Pump for
Replacement of Parts:
Allow pump to cool. Clean pump
thoroughly. Knock off all scale
and deposits. If used in sewage
effluent, submerge complete unit
in Clorox bleach solution for one
hour before taking apart.
CAUTION: For any work on
pump or switch, always unplug
power cord. Do not just turn off
circuit breaker or unscrew fuse.
Use only repair parts called out
in parts list supplied in these
instructions. All components must
be rated for high temperature
applications.
To Replace Automatic Float:
1. Unplug the pump power cord
from the back of the
piggyback float plug.
2. Unplug the piggyback float
plug from the power
receptacle.
3. Remove the pump from the
sump if access to the tether
point is inaccessible.
4. Disconnect the switch from its
tether point and remove from
the discharge piping.
5. Retether the new cord to the
pump or discharge piping.
6. Cable tie or tape the power
and switch cords to the
discharge piping.
7. Plug the switch into the power
receptacle.
8. Plug the power cord into the
switch plug.
9. Fill basin and test switch
operation.

All pump repairs should be done
at an authorized Hydromatic
service center.
Shaft Seal Replacement:
1. Remove the oil fill plug
located on the top of the motor
housing and drain the oil in the
housing. Properly dispose of
the used oil. Do not reuse old
oil since it may contain water
from seal failure.
2. Remove the three cap screws
holding the volute case onto
the seal plate. Lift the motor
assembly up and out of the
volute case.
3. Lay the motor assembly on
its side. Insert a slotted
screwdriver into the slot in the
center of the shaft. With a
rubber mallet, carefully tap the
impeller in a counter rotating
direction while holding the
shaft with the screwdriver.
4. Remove the rotating portion
(ceramic) of the seal with
fingers. Pry on stationary
portion (carbon) with a pair of
slotted screwdrivers to remove
from volute casing. Discard
the old seal assembly parts.
Never use old seal parts; rebuild
pump with only new seal
assembly.
5. Thoroughly clean the shaft and
volute casing with a clean
cloth. If the drained oil showed
signs of water, then the
motor should be air dried
for several days to remove
any remaining moisture.
6. Carefully remove the new seal
assembly from the package.
Add a film of new oil to the
rubber O.D. on the stationary
portion (carbon), and insert
into the seal cavity on the
volute casing. Using a pushing
tool (a piece of PVC pipe
works well), push on the
rubber portion of the stationary
seal until it is evenly seated
into the seal cavity. With a
clean cloth, carefully wipe the
seal face.
7. Remove the rotating portion
(ceramic) from the package
and carefully wipe with a clean
cloth. Add a film of new oil
onto the motor shaft. Slide the
rotating portion over the shaft
with the rubber surface of the
seal facing away from the
stationary seal face. Center
the seal on the shaft.
8. Place the impeller onto the
shaft. Screw the impeller
clockwise onto the shaft using
a screwdriver to hold the shaft
from turning and tighten
impeller. Check to see that
the impeller spins freely
after tightening.
9. Place the pump motor
assembly upright and set it
into the volute case. Replace
the three cap screws and

tighten. Check that the
impeller turns freely.
10. Replace oil in the motor
housing using only Hydromatic
submersible transformer oil.
The level should be 3/4" below
the top of the motor housing.
Check with dipstick to assure
that the pump is properly filled.
11.Plug pump into grounded
receptacle to test operation.
Pump must run quiet and free
of vibration.
Power Cord Replacement:
1. Loosen the compression nut
that retains the power
cord. Slide nut out of the
motor housing.
2. Pull the power cord from the
motor housing by hand. The
cord may need to be wiggled
back and forth several times to
loosen from the housing. Pull
the power cord out until the
connecting wires are fully
exposed. Disconnect the motor
power and ground leads with a
pair of pliers.
3. Reconnect the motor power
leads and ground to the new
power cord. The ground
terminal on the power cord has
a male connector, and the
power terminals on the new
power cord are female.
4. Carefully push the connected
wires into the motor housing
until the molded body of the
power cord seats. Make sure
that the wires stay away from
the rotor and shaft. Slide the
nut into place and hand
tighten. Tighten the nut with 1"
wrench until snug, but do not
overtighten.
5. Plug pump into grounded
receptacle to test operation.
Pump must run quiet, free
of vibration, without tripping
out breaker.
Motor Replacement:
1. Disconnect the power cord and
drain the oil as noted in the
previous sections. If the oil
shows signs of water or other
contamination, it may be
necessary to replace the seal
assembly as noted in a
previous section.
2. Loosen and remove the three
cap screws retaining the motor
housing. Lift the motor housing
off the pump assembly.
3. Remove the O-ring from the
remaining pump assembly.
