Anyone have information about how to hook this pump to my electrical box? diagrams? photos? videos? thanks.

The pump is 2 wire, 240v. So, you need a 240v breaker - which will give you two hot lines. Hook one hot to the red wire on the pump, and the other hot to the black wire on the pump. You'll also need a ground from the breaker box which will hook to the green wire of the pump. It's a standard 240v device in that regard. I don't have any photos or diagrams. You don't need a control box for a 2-wire, all the controls are in the pump. In my application I have a storage tank with a float in it, so the float interrupts one of the hot wires. I believe most people just have the pump piped straight into a storage tank and controlled in that instance by a pressure switch. I would suggest at least talking to an electrician to make sure you have things right. My father-in-law is an electrician and he helped me with mine, but I would have been comfortable doing it myself (he's just so dang fast with stripping wires and making connections and such). Disclaimer: I'm not an electrician and following my advice could kill you - hire a pro if in doubt.

Attach hose to the pump then place the submersible pump in basement and turn on. Please be careful not to submerge the electrical cablein the water because you will get electrocuted

Pump is powered by water pressure. No electric hookup at all. Brine is waste water. It can be left open but a better way is to route it to a drain.

I've used this type here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WEMMUK/ref=oh_details_o07_s01_i05?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You definitely need an electric pump for the side walls, otherwise you'll be pumping all day. Even with the electric one, it takes almost 30mins to be fully inflated and the pump gets very hot. I usually shut it off half way through and give it a break for a few minutes. The floor doesn't take long at all and is a nice thing to have so you don't feel all the rocks and "unevenness" of the ground. I jimmy-rigged the pump to a spare 12V computer power supply with some 12 gauge electrical wires I had and alligator clamps to make it work. If you have a car nearby, then it's no problem. Otherwise get one of those 120V AC to 12V DC car adapter you can plug in the house, make sure it's rated high enough to power the pump though. Most of the cheaper ones are junk and can barely power 12V lights and what not. Or if you're crafty enough, do as I did. Just make sure you have big enough electrical wires, otherwise they'll get hot and you could cause a fire.

I replaced the same pn as you except B3 at end. I believe this will work fine, but this advice is worth what you paid for it ;') The most important I think is the frame type for connection to your pump. Took me a bit to figure out how to unscrew the pump impeller... after that, I forgot to switch from default 220V to 120V setting, then it was clean sailing, or swimming as the case may be.

I had a plug-in pump, and it was still a pain. I think you need some kind of pump. Are you sure there wasn't one in the box? If not, contact the seller and and ask them to send it.

yes, It is working fine for me. tun the power off before connecting. suitable for small pumps for house circulating pumps. I hope this helped.

My old model was tied in electrically to one leg of my hot water heater and so I hooked up the new one the same as it seems to work fine, but you can either just plug it in or buy one with a timer,your choice. b.it does come with instructions. c.if you are replacing an existing pump, all you need to do is unscrew the pump(the black part) from the brass part,throw the brass part away and screw your new pump to your old brass part,CAUTION don't lose the new O ring.

We just got a Coleman electric pump at Walmart and it worked perfectly!! I think it was a 12V. It costs about $20

That is how all pumps come. You just use a butt splice connector to your existing wires. Pay attention to wire colors when splicing together.

It should pump .. period. It is hooked up wrong(No Offense)or it is defective. My advice? Just send it back .. FWIWFinal, I was unempressed with mine .. Just got rid of it in part .... because I took to long to qualify for a refund.

Jodi, will get back to you asap. I needed a pool pump but apparently this did not match my plumbing. New never used. Can send pics.

Thomas, sorry I've been away and just read my emails from the past few days. As for your question, I'm not sure how you are thinking of hooking up the pump to the sprinkler, however, I will say this, this pump has a lot of pressure behind it. My guess is, you would bring the 1.25" outlet down to a garden hose, and then to the sprinkler? If that is the case, I would have to say it would to the trick. I hope I helped you out in some way.

This pump is hydraulicaly operated. Its not electric. You have to connect all the ports in it. You cannot leave ports unconnected. Google permeate pump connection schematic and Im sure you'll find a good schematic.

We have a well with electric pump too. yes. my brother installed his and it worked wonderful. we have not got our up and running yet. waiting for the weather to break. my brother did use his. He installed it and then packed it back up and put in his attic for emergency only. he's ready to rock and roll if power goes down. hope this helped.

We had the same problem. Tried to contact the manufacturer and they were no help whatsoever . We were told there is no warentee on the pump at all. It was a very poor product.
