FAQs
What size solids can the Hydromatic SHEF30 handle?
This hydromatic effluent pump handles solids up to 3/4-inch (19mm) in diameter, making it suitable for standard septic tank effluent.
Can I run this pump manually?
Yes. Because it is an effluent pump with a piggyback float switch, you can unplug the pump from the switch cord and plug it directly into a grounded 115V receptacle for manual operation.
What is the minimum sump pit size required?
The minimum required sump diameter for the SHEF30 submersible effluent pump is 18 inches. This ensures the wide-angle float switch operates freely without hitting the pit walls.
How does the thermal overload protection work?
The motor features automatic reset thermal overload protection. If the motor overheats, the overload protector stops the pump until the unit cools down, preventing permanent damage.
What is the maximum vertical lift (head) for this pump?
This 1/3 HP effluent pump, 115V, has a maximum vertical lift of 24 feet. It cannot deliver water over a 24-foot vertical head.
How do I prevent air locking?
Hydromatic pumps have a small air vent hole in the impeller cavity to release trapped air. Ensure this hole remains clear of debris. In continuous operations, air locking rarely occurs.
What type of pipe should I use for the discharge line?
Use steel or plastic pipe for the 1-1/2" NPT discharge, depending on your local plumbing codes. You should also install a check valve at least 12 inches above the pump's discharge outlet.
