INTRODUCTION
The Fultz Pumps, Inc. line of sampling pump systems have been developed to
provide field personnel with a compact portable, self contained unit for the
convenient collection of samples from groundwater monitoring wells or similar
devices.

PUMP HEAD
The Fultz Pump Inc. line of pumps operate on the principle of positive displacement.
Water is introduced into the pump through a 60 mesh screen into a stainless steel
cavity. Two Teflon* gears or “rotors” inside the cavity displace the water up through
the hose in a steady stream. Teflon* is used in the interest of purity, however this is
the wear item on the pump head and the only thing to require routine maintenance.
Rotors are field replaceable, approximately 100 hours of pumping time can be
expected from a set of rotors in clear water, however suspended solids will affect the
life of these rotors. We recommend the operator always keep a spare set of new
rotors on hand. The pump’s electric motor runs on 36V DC power. The pump head
specifications are as follows:
SP-400 Pump Head
Diameter: 1.75”
Length: 9.16”
Weight: 2.5 lbs.
Materials: 304 Stainless Steel
Teflon*rotors
Viton housing seal
Carbon motor seal
Performance: 1.4 GPM @150’

CONTROL PANEL
Forward/Off/Reverse Switch - This 3 way switch is used to select which direction the
pump is running or turn the power off to the pump. Reverse is only to be used
momentarily to clear any debris that may have collected around the pump’s screen
during purging/sampling, or to drain the hose once purging/sampling is completed.
Always turn power off before changing direction of pump or damage to the unit
may result
Amp Meter - Displays the amperage drawn by the pump. The model SP-300 and SP-400
pumps should draw between 3.5 and 4.5 amps. If the meter is reading 5+ amps, turn
the power off and refer to troubleshooting guide or call Fultz Pumps, Inc. for
assistance.
Breaker Switch - Installed to protect the pump motor. Should the pump encounter
any difficulty pumping and draw 5+ amps, the breaker switch will turn the system off.
The switch is normally black, however if it is activated, the lower section will be
white. If this should happen, wait 2 minutes for the system to cool and press the
switch back down again to initialize. Refer to the trouble-shooting guide to find out
what may have caused the pump to draw high amperage. Never try to override the
breaker switch by holding it down.
6
DC Plug - This jack is for an optional 36V DC battery pack \
Power In / AC or DC - This switch is to select between using the internal AC power
supply or an external DC battery source plugged into the DC jack.
Flow Rate Knob - Controls the pumping speed. This is convenient when changing from
high flow rate for purging to lower flow rates for sampling. Use caution when slowing
the flow rate down so as not to stall the pump and cause the motor to burn up. If the
pump should stall, the amp meter will jump about 1/3 amp. The best way to avoid
this is to not stop the flow entirely. Always start the pump with the flow rate set to
full speed.

HOSE REEL
A composite hose reel is supplied with the rotating reel model. Reel
capacity is 200’ of polyethylene hose or 300’ of Teflon* hose. Brass slip
rings in the hub of the reel allow the pump to be run while raising or
lowering the pump depth or locked into a stationary position. The
hose/reel assembly can easily be removed should the operator wish to
change hoses. To remove the hose/reel assembly, use a snap ring tool
to remove the snap ring on the hub of the reel. Slide the gray PVC
spacer off the hub (be careful not to loose the spacer). Slide the
hose/reel off.
HOSE
The hose with integrated wire is both easy to handle, and easy to
decon. This hose is available in both polyethylene and Teflon* lined
polyethylene. Standard hose length is 100’, however hoses can be
made to any length specified. Extension hoses can also ordered to any
length. Quick connect couplings made of stainless steel and pvc
watertight electrical connections are installed.

FRAME
The freestanding tubular frame is designed so one person can easily and
comfortable lift and transport the unit.
POWER SUPPLY OPTIONS
A.
A. Battery Pack - 24V and 36V Battery packs are equipped with gelled electrolyte
batteries. This allows the batteries to be shipped and stored in any position without
spillage of corrosive materials. Batteries should not be totally discharged before
charging or they may refuse to accept a charge. Charge when performance begins to
fade and also before putting battery pack into storage. Charge only with the charger
supplied with the unit. The operator can expect 3-4 hours of pumping time before
batteries need charged overnight (approximately 16 hours). Avoid leaving batteries on
the charger for an extended time. The batteries do not develop a full storage
capacity until after approximately 25 charge/discharge cycles have been completed.
If the above cautions are followed, the operator can expect 250 to 500 cycles from
these batteries.

B. C. D. E.
B. 110V Power Supply - Inputs 110V AC and outputs 36V DC required to run the pump.
Use this with any 110V power source (110V generator, 110V wall outlet, etc.) No
maintenance is required for this power supply.
C. Portable Power Supply Control Case - This briefcase also inputs 110V AC and
outputs the 36V DC required to run the pump. Use with any 110V power source (110V
generator, 110V wall outlet, etc.)or plug a 36V Battery Pack into the DC jack. No
maintenance is required for this power supply.
D. 110V Stand Alone Power Supply Control Box -inputs 110V AC and outputs the 36V
DC required to run the pump. Use with any 110V power source (110V generator, 110V
wall outlet, etc.) No maintenance is required for this power supply.
E. 12V Power Supply - For use when powering the pump system from an automobile
battery. Attach the alligator clips to the vehicle’s battery terminals (be sure to match
polarity). Use an extension cord (<50’ recommended) to go from the vehicle battery
to the well head. Plug one of the other power supplies (B, C, or D above) into the
extension cord. Be sure the cooling fan on this unit is exposed.
