Installation Kits:
The Basepump model RB750-EZ includes a special Do-It-Yourself Installation Kit ($93 value), which includes all the specialty parts you'll need to install the pump, except for 2 easy-to-find lengths of pipe.
Water Supply Checklist:
To make sure you can use Basepump pumps, verify the following 4 items:
1. Household Water Pressure: To use all Basepump models, you need incoming water pressure at the Basepump Ejector to be between a minimum of 40 PSI and maximum of 90 PSI. Take into account the pressure loss from your test point to the Basepump Ejector. Avoid excessive piping from the tee-in point (see diagram).
2. Pipe Types: You need full-flow copper piping or an equivalent (PVC, CPVC, PEX are all fine as long as they are approved in your area). Basepump CANNOT be used with galvanized iron pipes.
3. Pipeline Restrictions: Basepump needs to be teed-in to your water pipe before any devices that can restrict water flow (again, see diagram). Examples of such devices include: stop & waste valves, pressure regulator valves (PRV), water conditioners, water filters, etc. One exception: if your incoming municipal water pressure exceeds 95 PSI, then you should "tee-in" after the Pressure Regulator Valve (PRV) to prevent damage to the pump. Water meter must be minimum 3/4" standard.
4. Household Water Flow: To use Basepump pumps, you must be able to fill a 5 gallon bucket with water from your house's hose spigot within the following times.
RB750, RB750-AVB, RB750-EZ | HB1000, HB1000-AVB, HB1000-PRO | CB1500, CB1500-AVB | |
---|---|---|---|
Fill a 5 gallon bucket in: | under 40 seconds | under 30 seconds | under 20 seconds |
Note: If your water spigot is a frost-free type, shorten the time it took you to fill the bucket by 25%, since this type of spigot typically reduces water flow by 25%, compared to a normal spigot. For example, reduce 40 seconds by 25%, to 30 seconds.
