ROTECTION
In a cold climate, water can freeze in the pipe and block
water flow. This can cause the pipe to burst, or worse,
pump or controller damage. This type of damage is
NOT
covered under your warranty.
The use of an anti-freeze bleeder valve is recommended
if installing in climates prone to freezing conditions. In
normal operation, the pressure of the moving water
keeps this valve closed, yet allows for the draining of
water in the lines after your pump stops pumping (See
Figure 4-1 Solar Pump Diagram
). Alternatively, the use of
a pitless adapter may be used.

The cables (both the pump and low water sensor) and
the safety rope must be bound to the drop pipe with
tape of an industry-approved (UL-listed) variety. See
Figure 7-2 Binding Diagram
. Pipe wrap tape is
recommended. First, wind tape around the pipe, more
than one turn, so that it sticks to itself. Second, wind it
around the cable and rope. This prevents it from
slipping down the pipe. See
Section 7.9 Allowance for
Pipe Stretch
to determine the amount of additional
lengths of cable and rope needed prior to wrapping.

O NOT
use nylon cable ties in
water. Nylon absorbs water and softens
after 5 to 10 years. Failure may cause
damage or loss of your equipment.
