Product Questions Answered by Jim, the Water Pump Expert

What size is the drain plug?

Does this pump need to be primed originally, or will it lose its prime without a check valve or foot valve?

hi jim just a quick follow up on my question.I see in your other answers this pump needs 20 to 25 psi coming in to this pump with my tank under ground I dont see how I could have enough pressure for this pump.Could you please explain this better

Shane B

Answer

If you are using this Bur-Cam model 506532SS Dual App Pump as a booster pump, you need to have between 20 & 25 PSI on the suction side of the pump. IF you are installing it as a shallow well pump, it will handle up to a maximum 25 foot suction lift. This does NOT have to be a well, it could be a lake, pond or cistern. Two applications, two different installation methods.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.

was wondering if this can be hooked to city water to increase gpm and pressure, I am on top of a hill in an old small town and was going to try to find something I didn't need a separate tank for.

Answer

This would be a possibility, HOWEVER, you do need to insure that incoming pressure to the pump is between 20 & 25 PSI. No more and no less. You also need to insure that you are not trying to boost pressure to a large 2-3 bath home with high water needs. This pump does well in smaller 1 to 2 bath homes with low to average water needs.
The PUMP MANUAL should provide all the information you need.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Hi Jim, Looking at the 506532SS pump. What I am doing is taking the RO water from a 100 Gal holding tank and pressurizing the 32 gallon take to the house. Pressure to be 30-50 PSI. There will be floats to protect the booster pump and the entire system. Is there a less expensive option for my needs? The feed will be at the bottom of the tank, and the pressure tank is within 4 feet. Thanks Jim

Answer

Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. Before I can answer your question, I would need to know the following:

Total head (suction & discharge lift)

Total pumping distance from the water source to the pump and from the pump to the furthest sprinkler head

Piping diameter on your suction and discharge (if already laid)

Total GPM & PSI requirements

Once you can provide this information, I'll be happy to assist you further.

Hi Jim I bought the burcam model 506532SS from your company on 02 months ago. I just install direct on my city water pipe and use the pump water for all my house. but the motor always running. Do they support to automatic stop if I don't use the water. Please give me some advice. Thank you

we are moving to an off grid home with a 2000 gal water tank buried.we need water for a kitchen sink and one full bathroom with one more in future.wondering if this pump will work or if there is more I need also thinking I need some kind of filtration.thanks for any suggestions

Hi Jim, I am following up to my original question to answer your question... The pump will be placed in line with the storage tank on slab. Almost all the faucets/appliances are on the slab level of the home however there is one bathroom on the second floor so I would estimate our vertical lift on the second floor to be about 18' given that we have 9' ceilings. That said, all remaining faucets and appliances will have a much lower vertical lift. The piping will be 1/2 inch copper. Original answer: Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct. Before I can really make an educated suggestion on what pump you would need for your application, I would need to know the following specifications and requirements: What is your vertical lift? What size piping do you have in place? Original Question: I have a well system on my property but it is over 1000' away so I am running a line from the well to a 1500 gallon storage tank. I plan to use this pump on the outlet side of the storage tank to boost pressure and supply house. So the water will be coming in with limited pressure and no head. How many faucets/appliances will this product be able to handle being used simultaneously? I saw in one of your other responses you said 2 faucets/appliances and that surprised me because I assumed it would be more.

Hi Jim if the kids leave a tap or shower dripping is this pump going to cycle on and off continuously. I beleive your info says no, but I don't understand why it wouldn't

David T

Answer

The Bur-Cam Dual App Pump model 506532SS works without a pressure tank and thus requires a fully pressurized system to operate properly. When the Floumac controller senses an open faucet or fixture the pump turns on. When that faucet or fixture is closed, the pump shuts off. Hence, if the pump senses ANY loss in pressure, the pump will continue to operate. It will not cycle, it will just run continuously until that faucet or fixture is closed completely. The same this will happen if there is any leak within your plumbing.
If you have additional questions, please let me know.

I have a modified sine wave inverter delivering electricity to the pump room. Will this affect the operation of pump?

Gayle M

from Colorado

June 15, 2014

Answer

Per Bur-Cam:
The electricity supplied to the pump need to match the specifications on the pump label.
For example, our motors are under 110V-120V AC 60Hz or under 220-240V AC 60Hz.
If the inverter provides twice the amps required to the pump to operate (the Amp rating is on the pump label) it will work.
The amps capacity needs to be twice the running Amps because at start, the motor pulls normally around twice the Amps for 1 to 2 seconds.
So, if the running Amp rating is 6.5A, you need to cover 13A so a 15A breaker is required or the inverter output needs to be at least 15A.

hi I have 2 bathrooms and we cant run the 2 things at once like shower and dishwasher or shower and washing machine without losing pressure we have a 12 hp shallow well pump and 20 pressure tank will this well pump work better

Answer

Thank you for your interest in Water Pumps Direct.
You might want to check your tank to see if it is holding pressure as this could one of be the causes of your problem. Another cause could be due to a build up of sediment or mineral deposits in your plumbing. This is pretty common in older homes and would require professional assistance. If you tank tests ok and your plumbing is in good condition, you might consider something like the Red Lion 12 GPM 1/2 HP Cast Iron Shallow Well Jet Pump, model RJS-50 or if you prefer to do away with your tank, the Bur-Cam 506532SS should also do the trick for you.

I have 3 500gal water tanks supplying 4 houses, and can't get enough pressure. What do I need to boost pressure? By the way, I am actually in the Dominican Republic, not TN, but I had to put a state in.
