DISCHARGE PIPING
Install a 1-1/2" pipe tee in the pump
discharge to allow easy priming. Plug
the end of the tee opposite the pump
to allow the branch piping to go to the
spray nozzles (See Figure 1). Remove
the pipe plug to fill the pump with
water for priming.

CONNECTION TO WATER SOURCE
The maximum vertical suction lift from
pump to the water level is 25 feet.
DRILLED WELL
1. Install a foot valve on the first
section of pipe (see Figure 2).

2. Lower the pipe into the well.
3. Add pipe until the foot valve is 10
feet below the lowest anticipated
water level.

Leaking joints or couplings will allow air
to leak into the pipe and cause poor
pump operation. Make sure to use pipe
joint compound or Teflon ® tape on all
pipe connections.

NOTE: A packer-type foot valve can be
installed in the well (See Figure 3). This
type of foot valve allows the well pipe
to be filled with water when priming
and makes the inlet pipe much easier to
test for leaks. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions when installing the packer-
type foot valve.
As an alternative, an in-line check valve can
be used with a driven well (See Figure 4).

It may be necessary to supply the pump
with multiple well points to maintain
the high flow capability of this pump.
Consult with a plumbing professional
for appropriate materials and
installation instructions.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow air
to leak into the pipe and cause poor
pump operation. Make sure to use pipe
joint compound or Teflon ® tape on all
pipe connections.

NOTE: When a lake is used for the water
supply, make sure the suction pipe is
deep enough to be submerged at all
times. Slope the pipe upward toward

pipe must be removed during winter
months or protected against freezing.

Electrical Connections

Connect the pump to a separate electrical
circuit with a dedicated circuit breaker.
Refer to the electrical specifications in
