4.
Once unit has primed and pressure stabilized, slowly open
(turn counterclockwise - Figure 14A) regulator valve until
pressure falters (pressure gauge needle flutters; pump may
become noisy - see Figure 14B). At this point, close (turn
clockwise) regulator valve slightly until pressure stabilizes.
This setting provides maximum flow (Figure 14C).
5.
Pump may draw well down far enough at this point to lose
its prime. If so, c lose regulator valve until pressure is stable
throughout pumping cycle. Close faucets and allow pump to
pressurize tank and shut off.
6.
Check system by alternately opening and closing faucets
in the system. With faucets open, pressure will drop until
pump starts; with faucets closed pressure will build up until
pump shuts off.
7.
There are conditions of deep well operation when the
regulator valve may be completely open without any
faltering f pressure. In this case, operate pump with
regulator valve open.
HOW TO HANDLE A GASEOUS WELL
In some areas well water contains gases which must be allowed
to escape before the water is used. To deliver gas-free water
suspend a pipe, closed at the bottom and open at the top, so
that it surrounds the suction pipe inlet (see Figure 15). Since the
gases rise in the well casing, the water sucked down through the
pipe and into the suction pump is free of gas. This type of well
must be vented to the outside of any enclosure.
AIR CONTROL IN FLOWING WELLS
Flowing wells or wells with little or no drawdown, could
create a special problem in air control in the operation of
your standard tank system. In such cases, a pre-charged
tank (which needs no air control) is recommended.
