Shurflo 9300 Solar Water Pump Installation Instructions
One of the reasons the Shurflo 9300 Solar Water Pump is so popular with homesteaders, ranchers,
and preppers is that it is easy to install. Since it weighs less than five pounds, it can be installed by
one or two people with no special equipment or skills needed. A typical AC-powered submersible
pump might require large diameter pipe or even rigid steel pipe, but with the Shurflo 9300, you only
need inexpensive 1/2" black polyethylene pipe, the kind that comes on rolls. Following the correct
installation procedure will prolong the life of your Shurflo 9300 installation. Improper installation
procedure will void the warranty.
For the electric cable, use two conductor, solid core
submersible pump cable. Don't use Romex (AC
house wire) It has a hollow core that lets water flow
through it like a pipe, which allows water to get into
the pump connections. This can cause corrosion and
eventual failure of the cable connection. Also Romex
uses a single strand wire instead of multi strand like
submersible pump cable. Single strand wire can
break under repeated flexing, causing loss of power
to the pump.
Either oval or round cross section will work, but don't
use anything with grooved, irregular, or rough
surfaces.
Strip the outer cable jacket back 2 inches. Cut an inch
off one the wires.
