INSTALLATION 

INSTALLATION 

QUICK QUICK STEPS! STEPS! 

1The well should be clean and 

disinfected before the 

pump is installed. You should 

always develop the well before 

pump installation. 

2Write the pump model 

number, pump serial number, 

and motor serial number in 

the space provided in this 

Instruction Manual (IOM). 

Leave the completed IOM 

attached to the tank or control 

box in a dry area or give it to the 

owner. We suggest you attach 

your business card to promote 

referral business.

Inspect all components for 

shipping damage and insure 

that you have all the 

components that are required: 

Pump with Motor, Motor 

Control Box (1∅ / 3-wire) or 

Starter w/Overloads (3∅), 

Hydro-Pro Tank, Pressure 

Switch, Copper Wire, Pressure 

Relief Valve (if required), 

Torque Arrestor (if required), 

Pipe, and Fittings. See 1.0 

4Verify that motor voltage and 

power supply voltage match. 

See 4.2 

NOTE: Do not power the unit or 

run the pump until all 

electrical and plumbing 

connections are completed and 

the pump is filled with water. 

Under no circumstance should 

the pump be run dry to test it. 

2 

Doing so will void the warranty 

and damage the impellers! We 

suggest you check the rotation on 

a three phase motor before 

assembling it to the water end 

(pump). All 4" motors should 

rotate counterclockwise when 

viewed from the shaft end. See 

4.3 C and 4.4 

5Select a well-ventilated, 

shaded location in which to 

vertically mount the motor 

control box. See 4.1

6Connect the pump motor 

leads (wires) to the drop 

cable using a heat shrink kit 

or waterproof electrical tape. 

Match the drop cable wire colors 

to the pump motor leads or 

identify the leads to insure 

correct connections at the threewire 

motor control box where 

used. See 3.1 A&B and 4.3 

7If using unthreaded discharge 

pipe install a stainless steel 

adapter fitting into the pump 

discharge head. Consult your 

pump supplier for other available 

adapter materials. Connect the 

discharge pipe to the pump. Do 

not use galvanized connections 

on stainless steel discharge heads 

as galvanic corrosion may occur. 

See 2.4 

8You can now lower the pump 

into the well. Set the pump at 

least 10' off the bottom. 

Protect the wires from chafing on 

the well casing. Never lower the 

pump by the wires. See 2.5

2.0 PIPING 

Notice: All 4" Goulds Pumps 

submersibles have left-hand 

discharge head threads, hold the 

pump only at the “discharge head” 

with a wrench when installing 

fittings or threaded pipe. 

CAUTION 

Hazardous pressure can 

cause personal injury or 

property damage. 

2.1 General 

The pump discharge 

piping should be sized 

for efficient pump 

operation. We suggest 

using the Friction Loss 

Tables to calculate Total Dynamic 

Head using different pipe sizes. As 

a rule of thumb use 1" for up to 

10 gpm, 1 1 ⁄4" for up to 30 gpm, 1 1 ⁄2" 

for up to 45 gpm, and 2" for up to 

80 gpm. In the case of long pipe 

runs it is best to increase pipe size. 

Some pumps are capable of very 

high discharge pressures, please 

select pipe accordingly. Since 

Goulds Pumps does not sell pipe, 

we suggest you consult with your 

pipe supplier to determine the best 

type of pipe for each installation. 

CAUTION 




2.2Pressure Tank, 

Pressure Switch 

and Pressure 

Relief Valve 

Select an area in which 

the ambient temperature 

is always above 34° F (1° C) in 

which to install the tank, pressure 

switch, and pressure relief valve. 

The tank should be located in an 

area where a leak will not damage 

property. 

The pressure switch should be 

located at the tank cross tee and 

never more than 4' from the tank. 

Locating the switch more than 

4' from the tank will cause 

switch chatter. 

There should be no valves, filters, 

or high loss fittings between the 

switch and the tank(s) as switch 

chatter may result. As an example, 

a 1 1 ⁄4" spring check valve has 

friction loss equal to 12' of pipe, 

placing the valve between the 

pressure switch and the pressure 

tank is the same as moving the 

pressure switch 12' away from the 

tank. It will create switch chatter. 

On multiple tank installations the 

switch should be as close to the 

center of the tanks as possible. 

Multiple tank installations should 

have a manifold pipe at least 1 1 ⁄2 

times the size of the supply pipe 

from the pump. This is to reduce 

the Friction Head in the manifold 

and to reduce the possibility of 

switch chatter. 

The cut-in setting on a 30 - 50 

pressure switch is 30 psi. Cut-in is 

the lower of the pressure settings. 

Pressure relief valves are required 

on any system that is capable of 

producing 100 psi or 230' TDH. If 

in an area where a water leak or 

blow-off may damage property 

connect a drain line to the pressure 

relief valve. Run it to a suitable 

drain or an area where the water 

will not damage property. 

2.3 Adjusting Tank 

Pre-Charge 

Insure that the tank is empty of 

water. Use a high quality pressure 

gauge to check the tank pre-charge 

pressure. The pressure should be 

2 psi below the pump cut-in 

pressure. As an example, a 

30-50 psi system would use 

a tank pre-charge of 28 psi. 

5

2.4 Discharge Pipe and 

Check Valve 

Note: The discharge head is 

threaded into the casing with lefthand 

threads. Please hold the pump 

only at the discharge head with a 

pipe wrench when installing 

fittings. Failure to hold the 

discharge head will loosen it and 

pump damage will result on 

start-up. 

If your pipe requires an adapter we 

strongly recommend using stainless 

steel. Galvanized fittings or pipe 

should never be connected directly 

to a stainless steel discharge head as 

galvanic corrosion may occur. 

Plastic or brass pumps can use any 

material for this connection. Barb 

type connectors should always be 

double clamped. 

The pump discharge head has a 

loop for attaching a safety cable. 

The use of a safety cable is at the 

discretion of the installer. 

2.5 Installing Pump in Well 

If you are using a torque arrestor, 

install it per the manufacturer’s 

installation instructions. Goulds 

Pumps does not sell torque 

arrestors and has no installation 

instructions, please consult the 

seller for information. 

Connect the discharge pipe to the 

discharge head or adapter you 

previously installed. Barb style 

connectors should always be double 

clamped. You can install the pump 

into the well using a pitless adapter 

or similar device at the wellhead. 

Consult the fitting manufacturer or 

pitless supplier for specific 

installation instructions. 

Using waterproof electrical tape 

fasten the wires to the drop pipe at 

6 

10' intervals. Make sure that the 

tape does not loosen as it will block 

the pump suction if it falls down 

the well. Pump suppliers also sell 

clip-on style wire connectors that 

attach to the drop pipe. 

2.6 Special Piping For 

Galvanized Tank 

Systems 

When using a galvanized tank you 

should install an AV11 Drain & 

Y fitting in the well and an AV9 

check valve with snifter valve at the 

tank. This will add air to the tank 

on each pump start and prevent 

water logging the tank. Use an AA4 

Air Escape on the tank to allow 

excess air to escape. The distance 

between the AV11 and AV9 

determines the amount of air 

introduced on each cycle. See the 

table for recommended settings. 

See Fig. 2 in Sec 1.0. 

Gaseous wells should use 

galvanized tanks with AA4 air 

escapes to vent off excess air and 

prevent “spurting” at the faucets. 

Methane and other explosive or 

dangerous gases require special 

water treatment for safe removal. 

Consult a water treatment specialist 

to address these issues. 

Installations with top feeding wells 

should use flow sleeves on the 

pump. 

DANGER 

Hazardous voltage 

can shock, burn or 

cause death. 

3.0 WIRE 

SIZING, 

SPLICING and 

POWER SUPPLY 

Always follow the National Electric 

Code (N.E.C.), Canadian Electrical 

Code, and any state, provincial, or 

local codes.

We suggest using only copper wire. 

Size wire from the charts found in 

your Goulds Pumps catalog - Jet & 

Sub Accessories - Electrical Section, 

in the Franklin Electric AIM 

manual, or an N.E.C.( National 

Electric Code) code book. If 

discrepancies exist the N.E.C. book 

takes precedence over a 

manufacturer’s recommendations. 

3.1 Splicing Wire to 

Motor Leads 

When the drop cable must be 

spliced or connected to the motor 

lead it is necessary that the splice be 

watertight. The splice can be done 

with heat shrink kits or waterproof 

tape. 

A. Heat Shrink Splice Instructions 

To use a typical heat shrink kit: 

strip 1 ⁄2" from the motor wires and 

drop cable wires, it is best to 

stagger the splices. Place the heat 

shrink tubes on the wires. Place the 

crimps on the wires and crimp the 

ends. Slide the heat shrink tubes 

over the crimps and heat from the 

center outward. The sealant and 

adhesive will ooze out the ends 

when the tube shrinks. The tube, 

crimps, sealant, and adhesive create 

a very strong, watertight seal. 

B. Taped Splice Instructions 

A) Strip individual conductor of 

insulation only as far as 

necessary to provide room for a 

stake type connector. Tubular 

connectors of the staked type are 

preferred. If connector O.D. is 

not as large as cable insulation, 

build-up with rubber electrical 

tape. 

B) Tape individual joints with 

rubber electrical tape, using two 

layers; the first extending two 

inches beyond each end of the 

conductor insulation end, the 

second layer two inches beyond 

the ends of the first layer. Wrap 

tightly, eliminating air spaces as 

much as possible. 

C) Tape over the rubber electrical 

tape with #33 Scotch electrical 

tape, or equivalent, using two 

layers as in step "B" and making 

each layer overlap the end of the 

preceding layer by at least two 

inches. 

In the case of a cable with three 

conductors encased in a single 

outer sheath, tape individual 

conductors as described, staggering 

joints. 

Total thickness of tape should be 

no less than the thickness of the 

conductor insulation.

4.1 Mounting the Motor 

Control Box 

Franklin and Goulds Pumps single 

phase 3-wire control boxes meet 

U.L. requirements for Type 3R 

enclosures. They are suitable for 

vertical mounting in indoor and 

outdoor locations. They will 

operate at temperatures between 

14°F (-10°C) and 122°F (50°C). 

Select a shaded, dry place to mount 

the box. Insure that there is enough 

clearance for the cover to be 

removed.

4.2 Verify Voltage and Turn 

Supply Power Off 

Insure that your motor voltage and 

power supply voltage are the same. 

Place the circuit breaker or 

disconnect switch in the OFF 

position to prevent accidentally 

starting the pump before you are 

ready. 

Three-phase starter coils are very 

voltage sensitive; we suggest you 

always verify actual supply voltage 

with a voltmeter. 

High or low voltage, greater than 

± 10%, will damage motors and 

controls and is not covered under 

warranty.

Caution Do not power the 

unit or run the pump until 

all electrical and plumbing 

connections are 

completed. Verify that the 

disconnect or breaker is 

OFF before connecting the pressure 

switch line leads to the power 

supply. Follow all local and 

national codes. Use a disconnect 

where required by code. 

A. Three-Wire Single Phase Motor 

Connect the color coded motor 

leads to the motor control box 

terminals - Y (yellow), R (red), and 

B (black); and the Green or bare 

wire to the green ground screw. 

Connect wires between the Load 

terminals on the pressure switch 

and control box terminals L1 and 

L2. Run a ground wire between the 

switch ground and the control box 

ground. See Figure 4 or 5 

B. Two-Wire Single Phase Motor 

Connect the black motor leads to 

the Load terminals on the pressure 

switch and the green or bare 

ground wire to the green ground 

screw. See Figure 3 

C. Three phase motors 

Connect the motor leads to T1, T2, 

and T3 on the 3 phase starter. 

Connect the ground wire to the 

ground screw in the starter box. 

Follow starter manufacturers 

instructions for connecting pressure 

switch or see Figure 6. 

DANGER 



cause death. 

4.4 Connect To 

Power Supply 

Complete the wiring by 

making the connection 

from the single phase 

pressure switch Line terminals to 

the circuit breaker panel or 

disconnect where used. 

On three phase installations make 

the connections between L1, L2, 

L3, and ground on the starter to 

the disconnect or circuit breaker. 

Three phase submersible motors 

require Class 10 Quick-Trip 

overloads. Our ESP100 starters use 

adjustable overloads which you 

must adjust during installation. 

Goulds Pumps sells Furnas starters 

which use “K” heaters for Class 10 

ambient compensated overload 

protection. Use of Class 20 

overloads voids the motor 

warranty. 

Three phase installations must be 

checked for motor rotation and 

phase unbalance. To reverse motor 

rotation switch (reverse) any two

leads. See the instructions for 

checking three phase unbalance in 

the Technical Section of this 

manual. Failure to check phase 

unbalance can cause premature 

motor failure and nuisance overload 

tripping. If using a generator, 

see Technical Data for generators. 

5.0 STARTING 

THE PUMP 

CAUTION 




5.1 Throttling 

Discharge On 

Start-Up 

If the pump will be 

operated to clear the well 

and/or operate with no pressure or 

very little head we strongly suggest 

you throttle the discharge. Install a 

ball valve in the discharge line. 

Open the valve to approximately 

1 ⁄3 open on system start-up. After 

starting, use the valve to adjust the 

flow. This will prevent upthrust 

damage to the pump and motor 

bearings. It will also keep the pump 

running in its recommended 

operating range. Starting or running 

a pump with little or no head is a 

major cause of premature failure. 

CAUTION 




5.2 Throttling A 

High Static 

Level Well To 

Prevent Upthrust 

Any well with a high 

static water level may allow the 

pump to operate off the curve to 

the right or outside the 

“Recommended Range” shown on 

the pump curve. We recommend 

using a “Dole” flow restrictor or 

throttling with a ball valve to 

prevent upthrust damage to the 

pump and motor. The maximum 

flow must be restricted to be within 

the pumps recommended operating 

range. If you use a ball valve, set it, 

remove the handle, tape the handle 

to the pipe, and tag the valve with a 

note saying, “Do not open this 

valve or pump may be damaged”. 

The easiest way to “set” the flow is 

to fill a 5 gallon bucket and time 

how long it takes to produce 5 

gallons. Calculate the flow in gpm 

based on this value. As the water 

level drops in the well the flow will 

be reduced due to increased head 

and the valve will not interfere with 

performance. 

5.3 Start the Pump 

Partially open a valve (faucet) in the 

system and turn the breaker to the 

ON position. 

Check all fittings for leaks. 

Close the valve when the water 

clears and allow the pressure to 

build. If properly adjusted the 

switch should turn the pump off at 

the preset pressure. Open a few 

faucets and allow the pump to run 

through a few cycles. Check switch 

operation and verify that pressure 

settings are correct. 

Recheck all fittings for leaks. 

6.0 PAPERWORK 

and IOM 

Please give the owner all warranty 

and IOM paperwork. It is wise to 

include your business card with the 

Goulds Pumps supplied paperwork. 

A sticker with your name and 

phone number on the tank or 

control box is a great sales tool for 

future business! 

Congratulations on completing a 

professional installation of a Goulds 

Pump.

Hydro-Pro Tanks 

Tanks should be sized to allow 

pumps between 1 ⁄2 and 1 1 ⁄2 hp to run 

for at least 1 minute. Two (2) hp 

and larger pumps should run at 

least 2 minutes. If the pump 

averages 10 gpm and you run it for 

1 minute you need a 10 gallon 

“drawdown” tank. See your Goulds 

Pumps Products catalog for Hydro- 

Pro Tank data. 

Low Water Protection 

Goulds Pumps offers Franklin 

Electric Pumptec, Pumptec Plus, 

QD Pumptec for single phase, and 

Subtrol for 3 ∅ low water 

protection. We also sell Integra 

Motor Check and Motor Minders 

which are available for single and 

three phase low water protection.

Electrical Panels 

Goulds Pumps will build custom 

pump control panels. We will build 

custom panels only with written 

specifications. Please send written 

specifications to your authorized 

distributor. They will forward it to 

the Goulds Pumps Customer 

Service Group that supports their 

product line. Specifications should 

include pump HP, voltage, phase, 

Nema enclosure type, sequence of 

operation, special options needed, 

and a brief statement describing any 

special logic for alarms, timers, or 

duplexing features. The name and 

number of a contact person to 

answer questions is also appreciated 

and will speed the quote.

THREE PHASE POWER UNBALANCE 

A full three phase supply consisting 

of three individual transformers or 

one three phase transformer is 

recommended. “Open” delta or wye 

connections using only two transformers 

can be used, but are more 

likely to cause poor performance, 

overload tripping or early motor 

failure due to current unbalance. 

Check the current in each of the 

three motor leads and calculate the 

current unbalance as explained 

below. 

If the current unbalance is 2% or 

less, leave the leads as connected. 

If the current unbalance is more than 

2%, current readings should be 

checked on each leg using each of 

the three possible hook-ups. Roll the 

motor leads across the starter in the 

same direction to prevent motor 

reversal. 

To calculate percent of current 

unbalance: 

A. Add the three line amp values 

together. 

B. Divide the sum by three, 

yielding average current. 

C. Pick the amp value which is 

furthest from the average 

current (either high or low). 

D. Determine the difference 

between this amp value (furthest 

from average) and the average. 

E. Divide the difference by the 

average. 

Multiply the result by 100 to 

determine percent of 

unbalance. 

Current unbalance should not 

exceed 5% at service factor load or 

10% at rated input load. If the 

unbalance cannot be corrected by 

rolling leads, the source of the 

unbalance must be located and 

corrected. If, on the three possible 

hookups, the leg farthest from the 

average stays on the same power 

lead, most of the unbalance is 

coming from the power source. 

Contact your local power company 

to resolve the imbalance.
