Installation
Process A . Determine the Depth of
Your Well
Shallow wells are less than 25 feet to water; deep wells are up
to 70 feet to water. Tie a small but heavy weight to the end of
a piece of string (be sure there is enough string; some wells are
very deep). Lower the weight into the well until it reaches the
bottom. Take up the slack and mark the string at ground level.
Pull the weight out of the well and measure from the bottom of
the weight to the ground level mark. This is the depth of your
well. Subtract five feet from the depth of your well. This number
should not exceed the maximum rated depth for your pump. If
it does, it will greatly hinder or prevent the proper operation of
the pump.
Process B . Correctly Select Your Pump
Voltage
Hazardous voltage . Disconnect power to pump
before working on pump or motor. Disconnect pump from
power source before changing the pump voltage. To change the
voltage, the selector switch is located underneath the plastic
access cover on top of the motor. To access the switch, remove
the eight screws holding the plastic cover. To change the voltage
setting, slide the switch as shown until desired voltage is visible
on the switch. The voltage number that appears is the voltage
setting for the pump. Be sure the switch is completely engaged.
Replace the cover and secure it with the eight screws.
VOLTAGE SELECTION DIRECTIONS
Warning!
Disconnect pump from power
source before servicing or
handling pump.
Be sure that incoming power
supply is same as voltage
selector switch setting.
To change voltage settings
slide switch as shown
until desired voltage is
visible on switch.
Be sure switch is completely
engaged.
Replace capacitor housing cover
and secure cover with screws.
Do not overtighten screws.

Wiring Your Pump
Hazardous voltage . Disconnect power to pump
before working on pump or motor. Disconnect pump from
power before servicing or handling pump. Remove the cover
from the pressure switch. Connect the bare copper ground to
the ground screw in the pressure switch. Connect the power
supply to the terminals marked "Line" in the diagram below.

Connections
Piping
Plastic PVC pipe is shown in the illustrations, but galvanized
steel pipe may be used if desired. All piping must be clean and
free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging. ALL JOINTS AND
CONNECTIONS IN THE WELL ASSEMBLY MUST BE AIRTIGHT.
Even a pinhole leak will prevent the proper operation of
the pump (this is the most common problem). Use thread
compound on all threaded joints unless specified otherwise.
