These switches have a fixed draw off for COMMERCIAL and DOMESTIC use, but are level of 8 to 10” and can be used up to 1 H.P. For not intended to handle large rags, mop heads, or higher H.P. ratings two mercury switch (or SMNO) strings. All pumps can be used for normal sump controls with a magnetic starter can be used. duty where extra capacity is required. The ALC and AWS-1 controls can be used for The WHRE Series is for pumping sump water simplex single phase pumps with ratings up to 2 and EFFLUENT from septic tanks only. DO NOT H.P. USE FOR RAW SEWAGE. All duplex systems must use pilot mercury RECESSED IMPELLERS control sensor switches with control box and All of the pumps are of the recessed impeller magnetic starters. type that provides a clear volute passage for solids as no solids pass through the impeller. Plug in cords can be used on all the single phase All of the pumps listed can be used to pump pumps without seal leak detector. The cord septic tank EFFLUENT or GROUND sewage as has a GROUND pin that plugs into a grounded used in some pressure sewer systems. receptacle. The grounded receptacle cannot be used in the wet sump or basin due to DANGER DESIGN OF PRESSURE SEWER SYSTEMS of current leakage.
