PRE-INSTALLATION

APPLICATION
This unit is a single stage jet pump designed for shallow water well applications, where the water level is less
than 25 ft. deep. If the water level to the pump is deeper than 25 ft., a convertible jet pump or a deep well
submersible pump should be used. A pressure switch pre-set at 30 psi "on", 50 psi "off" has been installed on the
pump. The pressure switch will automatically turn the pump on and off based on the system pressure.
Do not use for sewage pumps, if do this, will void the warranty.

DETERMINE THE DEPTH OF YOUR WELL
Tie a small but heavy weight to the end of a piece of string. Lower the weight into the well until it reaches the bottom.
Make a mark on the string at ground level. Pull the weight out of the well and measure from the bottom of the weight
to the ground level mark. This is the depth of your well. Subtract 5 ft. from the depth of your well. This number should
not exceed the maximum rated depth for your pump. If it does, it will greatly hinder or prevent the proper operation of
the pump.
LOCATION OF THE PUMP
Decide on the area for the pump installation. Select a pump location with adequate space for future pump
maintenance. It can be located in the basement or utility room of the house, at the well, or between the house and the
well. If installed outside of the house, it should be protected by a pump house with auxiliary heat to prevent possible
freezing. Protect the pump against flooding and excess moisture. The well also should be protected for sanitary
reasons. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
TANKS - PRE-CHARGED STORAGE
For best performance of the pump, it is recommended that you use a diaphragm pressure tank (sold separately). It is
best to have this in place before installing the pump. A pre-charged storage tank has a flexible bladder or diaphragm
that acts as a barrier between the compressed air and water. This barrier prevents the air from being absorbed into the
water and allows the water to be acted on by compressed air at initially higher than atmospheric pressures (pre-charged).
More usable water is provided than with a conventional type tank.
Air pressure in the tank must be 2 psi lower than the "cut-in" of the pressure switch.
