Shallow Well Installation; Materials Required (Not Included) - AquaPRO 63013 Manual Del Propietário

SHALLOW 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
Check valve
Flexible plastic pipe/clamps
Tank tee
WARNING: All joints and connections must be AIRTIGHT. A single leak will prevent the proper operation of the pump. Wrap
thread tape clockwise on all threaded connections. For all non-threaded connections, you must use PVC Purple Primer and
PVC Cement to ensure airtight seals. Measure all pipe lengths before attaching.
NOTE: A foot valve is a check valve that is used to keep the water from running back into the well from the pump and
maintain hydraulic pressure when the pump is not running. If the foot valve does not hold the water the pump will lose it's
prime and will not pump water. If the foot valve open pressure is too high (the spring is too stiff), or the flow area is too small,
the pump suction head and flow rate will significantly drop.
NOTE: The suction pipe size should not be less than 1-1/4 in. The suction size of this pump is 1-1/4 in. FNPT.
CAUTION: To avoid skin burns, unplug the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
REPLACING AN EXISTING PUMP
Warning: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill.
Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for scale, lime,
rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. Install the pressure gauge in the pump body.
3. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe joints in the
suction pipe are air-tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can
suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
4. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing connections
do not put a strain on the pump body. Support the pipe so that the
pump body does not take the weight of piping or fittings.
You have just completed the well plumbing for your new shallow well
jet pump. Please go to discharge pipe and tank connections.
