Examine the components carefully to ensure that no damage has occurred to the liquid end, motor, cable or control box
during shipment. Report damage immediately to the shipping carrier or to your dealer. The Webtrol submersible pump
should remain in the shipping carton until it is ready to be installed. Do not drop or mishandle the pump prior to
installation.
Warning: The motor is equipped with an electrical cable. It should NEVER be used to lift or carry the pump.
Damage to the electrical cable can cause shock, burns or death!
Control boxes and panels should never be mounted in direct sunlight or high temperature locations as this will cause a
reduction in capacitor life and unnecessary tripping of the overload protectors. The worst place to mount a control box is
in a damp well pit, or other humid locations, as this accelerates component failure from voltage breakdown or corrosion.
Control boxes with voltage relays, 1 1/2 HP & up, are designed for vertical upright mounting only. Mounting in other posi-
tions will affect the operation of the relay.
Caution: If the pump pressure exceeds the recommended working pressure of the pressure tank, a pressure relief
valve capable of passing the entire pump flow should be installed.
Caution: Be sure that the control box HP and voltage match the motor.
The well driller should fully develop the well. All sand and foreign matter should be removed. If this pump is used to
replace an oil-filled submersible motor that has failed, the well must be bailed free of oil.
Pump performance is based upon pumping clear and cold water that is free of air or gases.
Pumps should be sized properly, for flow and head.
To test the well water for purity, contact your local health department for the proper testing procedure.
Maximum water temperature should not exceed 86° . The pump should be installed at least, 10 feet below the maxi-
mum drawdown level but no less than 10 feet from the bottom of the well to allow for sediment build up.
The pump should be installed according to state water well codes governing the setting of pumps. All wiring must meet
National Electrical Code or Canadian Electrical Code and local code requirements.
Pipe joint compound can cause plastic to crack. Use only teflon tape when sealing joints in plastic pipe.

Pre-Installation
Three (3) - Wire Control Boxes And Panel Equipment

A typical installation diagram is shown in (Figure 1, page 4). All electrical work should be performed by a competent
electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code, as well as local codes and regulations.
Never run the pump unless it is completely submerged in water. If operated without water, the pump and motor could be
severely damaged.
The riser pipe should be properly sized and selected based upon the flow rate and friction-loss factors.
Protect all piping, fittings and water system components from freezing.
When lowering the pump into the well, use the discharge pipe. A safety cable may be attached to the pump’s discharge
head lifting eye. Never use the electrical cable to raise or lower the pump. Do not scrape the electrical cable against the
well casing while raising or lowering the pump into well. Secure the cable to the discharge pipe at 10’ intervals with elec-
trical tape and use cable guards every 20’ to avoid cable damage.
Notice: Webtrol 4” Submersible Pumps are assembled with right hand threads. Hold the pump’s discharge head with
a wrench while installing the riser pipe or a check valve. Be sure you do not loosen the discharge in the tube.
Do not hold the pump housing during installation of the riser pipe or a check valve.
Plastic pipe has a tendency to stretch under load. When securing the cable to the riser pipe, allow 2 inches of
slack between the taped intervals.
To ensure that the pump and motor are free to rotate, remove the screen and rotate the shaft by hand.
If the pump is capable of over pumping the well, a liquid level control is required.
Attach the riser pipe to the pump. If plastic pipe is used, provide torque arrestors and safety cable. Review typical
installation shown.
When installing Schedule 80 threaded plastic pipe and extruded couplings, caution should be taken to prevent excessive
tightening which can damage the fitting and/or pipe. The correct degree of tightness may be determined by threading the
extruded coupling hand tight, plus a half turn with a strap wrench. Pipe wrenches or pliers that may indent or scratch the
pipe should not be used. Over tightening may result in eventual or immediate failure due to excessive stress. Do not use
pipe dope. Use teflon tape if needed.
An ohmmeter, or megger should be used to measure the insulation resistance on the power cable every 20 feet as the
pump is lowered. This will locate any fault in the cable.
A check valve should always be installed in submersible pump installations. If the pump does not have a built-in check
valve, a line check valve should be installed in the discharge line. A line check valve should be installed within 25 feet of
the pump, and below the drawdown level of the water supply. or installations deeper than 200 feet, check valves
should be installed in 200 foot intervals.

Installation
Caution: Restarting the motor within 5 seconds after power is removed may cause the motor overload to trip.
Warning: ailure to ground the control box or panel grounding terminal can result in a serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard if a circuit fault occurs.
2-Wire Motor Solid State Controls.

Notice: Never operate the pump with the discharge valve completely closed. The pump can destroy itself if run at
shutoff pressure.
Notice: Never start a pump with the discharge valve completely open, if the pump will operate at high flow - low head
or if the pump is placed in an artesian well. This can cause the pump to up thrust the impellers-shaft
assembly, which can cause premature wear and failure.
To test the well water for clarity, attach a temporary horizontal length of pipe
and gate valve to the riser pipe.
Make sure the controls are in the off position. Connect the motor leads and
power supply to control box, electrical disconnect box or magnetic starter. See
wiring diagrams. Do not start the pump!
Partially open the gate valve and start pump. To make sure the 3 phase motor
is running in the right direction, note the direction of jerk as the motor starts.
If connections are properly made, the pump will jerk clockwise when looking
into the pump discharge when started. If the jerk is counter - clockwise, the
motor is running in the wrong direction. Interchange any two cable leads where
they connect to the lead terminals in the magnetic starter. Restart the pump
and let it operate until the water runs clear of sand, silt and other impurities.
When the water is completely clear at the initial gate valve setting, slowly open
valve in small increments allowing the water to clear before progressing. The
pump should not be stopped until the water runs clear.
Remove the gate valve for permanent installation.
Install a sanitary well seal or pitless adapter, submersible pump/motor, electrical conduit and surface piping according to
local code requirements.

The submersible motor requires a minimum flow of
water past the motor to insure proper cooling. Table 1
below shows the minimum flow rates in GPM for vari-
ous diameters and motor size.
If the flow rate is less than specified, a flow inducer
sleeve or an alternate method of increasing water
velocity past the motor must be used for proper cooling.
Several conditions requiring a flow sleeve are; the
pump is in an open body of water, the well is top feed-
ing and the well diameter is too large to meet Table 1
flow requirements.
Flow Inducer
Sleeve
Flow Inducer
Discharge Tube
A flow inducer sleeve is
a tube over the motor,
closed off above the
pump intake and
extended to the bottom
of the motor or lower.
The sleeve material is
corrosion resistant
metal or heavy plastic.
If the casing is too small
for a flow inducer sleeve
and the pump cannot be
raised, a tube may be
installed as follows:
A. Tap a 1/4” tube (ID)
into the pump outlet
(below check valve).
B. Clamp it to the pump
and motor.
C. Aim tube upward so
flow is introduced 1
foot below the motor.
D. Protect tube with
spacers and angle iron.

Electrical supply must match the motor voltage, phase and frequency found on the nameplate on the motor and control box.
Motor electrical data can be found in tables 4, 4A, 5 & 5A. If voltage variations are larger than + 10%, do not operate the pump.
On 3 phase installations, use a magnetic starter and quick trip overload heaters. ailure to use quick trip heaters in all three lines
will not provide adequate motor protection and the warranty will be void.
Warning: A faulty motor or wiring can be an electrical shock hazard if it or surrounding water is accessible to human
contact. To prevent this from occurring, connect the motor frame to the power supply grounding terminal with
a stranded copper conductor no smaller than the wires carrying current to the motor.
Caution: Use of smaller than recommended cable voids warranty, can cause failure of the motor to start and operate
properly and may cause cable overheating!

Sizes given are for copper wire. If aluminum wire is used, it must be two sizes larger and oxidation inhibitors must be used on
the connections. Example: If the table calls for #12 copper wire, #10 aluminum wire would be required.
Note: #11 wire is available, but not often used.
Maximum lengths shown maintain motor voltage at 95% of service entrance voltage, running at maximum nameplate amperes.
To comply to CSA, multiply the cable lengths shown by .6 for maximum feet. This will maintain motor voltage at 97% of service
entrance voltage, running at maximum nameplate amperes.
The portion of the total cable length which is between the supply and single phase control box with a line contactor, should not
exceed 25% of total maximum allowable to ensure reliable contactor operation. Single phase control boxes without line contac-
tors may be connected at any point in the total cable length.

Whenever the submersible pump is going to be operated
using an engine driven generator, the generator manufac-
turer should be consulted. (See Table 6)
There are two types of generators available, externally
and internally regulated (See Table 6). Most are externally
regulated. They use an external mounted voltage regula-
tor that senses the output voltage. As the voltage dips at
motor start up, the regulator increases the output voltage
of the generator.
Internally regulated generators have an extra winding in
the generator stator and are also called self excited. The
extra winding senses the output current to automatically
increase the output voltage.
NOTE: or best starting of two-wire motors the minimum generator ratings
should be 50% higher than shown.
