APPLICATION
The Ballast Puppy is designed to pump water into
Wakeboard Liquid Ballast Tanks and when reversed will
also pump water out of them. It has a flow rate of 11 gallons
per minute, so it can fill most ballast tanks in about five
minutes. It is equipped with a Run-Dry Protection Device
(patent pending) to automatically shut-off the pump and
protect the impeller from run-dry damage should the
pump be mistakenly left on after the Ballast Tank is
empty.

INSTALLATION
The pump must be mounted in a dry location – the motor
is not waterproof and must not be submerged.
SELECTION OF A COOL VENTILATED location will
generally extend pump motor life. The unit can be mount-
ed in any desired position. It is best to mount so that
water dripping from loose port connection will not wet
the motor. The pump head may be rotated 180° on the
motor to change the direction of flow.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Pump ports have external 1" hose barb and internal 1/2"
pipe threads. Use hose that does not kink when bent and
with sufficient wall thickness to prevent collapse when
used on suction side of pump. Hoses should be routed
so that some water will be retained in pump body to wet
the impeller. Wetting the impeller aids in priming and
extends impeller life. Use a strainer on the intake hose to
stop trash and solids from going through the pump. All
hoses must have airtight connections to enable fast
priming.
