INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR PUMP
NOTE: Well must not be more than 20' (6.1 m) depth to water.
Step 1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction and reduce flow. Locate pump as close to well as possible; use as
few elbows and fittings as possible. Be sure suction line is straight and angles toward pump.
Step 2. Be sure well and pipe are clear of sand dirt and scale. Foreign matter will plug pump and void warranty. Use new
pipe for best results.
Step 3. Protect pump and all piping from freezing. Freezing will split pipe, damage pump and void warranty. Check
locally for frost protection requirements (usually pipe must be 12" (30.5 cm ) below frost line and pump must be
insulated).
Step 4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in good shape.
Step 5. No air pockets in suction pipe.
Step 6. No leaks in suction pipe. Use Teflon tape or Plasto-Join Stik to seal pipe joints.
Step 7. Unions installed near pump and well will aid in servicing. Leave room to use wrenches.
WARNING: Pump body may explode if used as a booster pump. DO NOT use in a booster application.
CAUTION: Motor normally operates at high temperature and will be too hot to touch. It is protected from heat damage
during operation by an automatic internal cutoff switch. Before handling pump or motor, stop motor and allow it to cool for
20 minutes.
WELL PIPE INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Use installation method below which matches your well type.
CASED WELL DUG WELL INSTALLATION
MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)
One can PVC cement & primer (read instructions
carefully)
One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
Teflon tape
Rigid pipe
Flexible plastic pipe/clamps
Step 1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect strainer to be
sure it is clean and secure.
Step 2. Connect foot valve and strainer to the first length of suction pipe
and lower pipe into well. Add sections of pipe as needed, using
Teflon tape on male threads (use 1-1/2" pipe for suction pipe). Be
sure that all suction pipe is leak proof or pump will lose prime and
fail to pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 m) below the
lowest level to which water will drop while pump is operating
(pumping water level). Your well driller can furnish this information.
Step 3. To prevent sand and sediment from entering the pumping system,
the foot valve/strainer should be at least 5 feet (1.5 m) above the
bottom of the well.
Step 4. When the proper depth is reached, install a sanitary well seal over
the pipe and in the well casing. Tighten the bolts to seal the casing.
Step 5. When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug are recommended.
