Draining For Servicing Or For Winter - Water Ace R520C-T7 Manual De Instalación

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.
SHALLOW WELL PUMP INSTALLATION
(4" DIAMETER CASED WELL)
For wells 25 feet or less in depth, the ejector may be attached
to the front of the tank-mounted jet pump. For lower depths,
the ejector must be placed down inside the well (see DEEP
WELL PUMP INSTALLATION). All materials with part numbers are
quality Water Ace parts.
General Materials
• One Jet Tank System #R-520C-T7. Includes: 1/2 HP jet pump
mounted on a 7-gallon diaphragm pressure tank, pressure
gauge # RG-2, and twin ejector with gasket, bolts, venturi
tubes, and foot valve
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT. A SINGLE PINHOLE LEAK
WILL PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD COMPOUND ON ALL
THREADED CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.

Subtract five feet from the

depth of your well (see

page 3 "Finding 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.

DRAINING FOR SERVICING OR FOR WINTER

The pump should be drained before it is disconnected for
servicing or if it is in danger of freezing. To drain:
• Remove drain plug from bottom of pump case.
• Remove discharge tee to vent the pump.
• Drain all piping to a point 3 feet below ground level.
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• 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 4" well seal #RWS4-1012 with vent plug
• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screwdriver,
24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file.
