Installation
To Install a Shallow Well Pump
For wells 25 feet or less in depth, the 1/2 HP CLTS5 and
1 HP CLTS10 pumps are recommended. However, the
1/2 HP CL520 and 1 HP CL100 convertible pumps may
be adapted to shallow wells with an ejector kit.
General Materials Required
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One roll PTFE pipe thread sealant tape
• One 1-1/4" foot valve
• Two male 1-1/4" PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach
from bottom of well to pump
• One well seal with vent plug
• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
• One discharge tee
• One pressure gauge
Reminder: All joints and connections must be airtight . A single pinhole leak will prevent the proper operation of
the pump . Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on all threaded joints unless specified otherwise .
1. Thread 1-1/4" male PVC
adapter into foot valve. Hand
tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn
with crescent wrench. Seal
the threaded pipe joints with
PTFE pipe thread sealant
tape or PTFE-based pipe joint
compound approved for use
on PVC.
2. Subtract five feet from the depth
of your well (see Determine the
Depth of Your Well). This is the
total length of rigid PVC pipe
and couplings to cement onto
the 1-1/4" male PVC adapter.
Cement one section of rigid PVC
pipe to the PVC adapter which is
connected to the foot valve, then
lower the whole assembly into the
well, foot valve first. Firmly clamp
the end of the rigid PVC pipe with
a pipe clamp to prevent the assembly from sliding
down into the well.
• One male 1" PVC adapter
• Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe to reach from pump to
pressure tank to service line
• One female 1" PVC adapter
• One 1" tank cross (for diaphragm tanks)
• Two 1/4" plugs
• One 1/2" drain cock
• One 10" x 1" nipple
In addition to General Materials, for the CL520, or
CL100 Convertible only:
• One ejector kit; includes ejector, venturi tube,
gasket, bolts, plug, tubing, and fittings.
Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot
screwdriver, 24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file.
3. Cement as many couplings and sections of rigid PVC
pipe as it takes to equal the depth of your well minus
1-1/4"
MALE PVC five feet, then firmly clamp the assembly with a pipe
ADAPTER
clamp to prevent the assembly from sliding down
into the well.
