Before You Install Your Pump
NOTICE Pump must not be more than 20' (6.1m) depth
to water.
1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction
and reduce flow. Locate pump as close to well
as possible; use as few elbows and fittings as
possible. Be sure suction line is straight and angles
toward pump.
2. Use rigid pipe. Do not use hose or plastic tubing.
See Well Pipe Installation for more information.
3. Be sure well and pipe are clear of sand, dirt and
scale. Foreign matter will plug pump and void
warranty. Use new pipe for best results.
4. Protect pump and all piping from freezing. Freezing
will split pipe, damage pump and void warranty.
Check locally for frost protection requirements
(usually pipe must be 12" (30.5cm) below frost line
and pump must be insulated).
5. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in
good shape.
6. No air pockets in suction pipe.
7. No leaks in suction pipe. Use PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape to seal pipe joints.
8. Unions installed near pump and well will aid in
servicing. Leave room to use wrenches.

9. If turning pump on and off by pressure, a pressure
switch and tank are required. For proper installation
and operation instructions call customer service.
Risk of explosion . Do not ground to a gas
supply line. Pump body may explode if used as booster
pump. DO NOT use in booster application.
Risk of burns . Do not touch an operating
motor. Motor normally operates at high temperature and
will be too hot to touch. It is protected from heat damage
during operation by an automatic internal cutoff switch.
Before handling pump or motor, stop motor and allow it
to cool for 20 minutes.
Well Pipe Installation
NOTICE Use installation method below which matches
your well type.
Cased Well/Dug Well Installation
N/A
1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect
strainer to be sure it is clean and secure.
2. Connect foot valve and strainer to first length of
suction pipe and lower pipe into well. Add sections
of pipe as needed, using PTFE tape on male threads
(use 1-1/2" pipe for suction pipe). Be sure all suction
pipe is leakproof or pump will lose prime and fail to
pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20 ft. (3 to 6 m) below
lowest level to which water will drop while pump is
operating (pumping water level). Your well driller can
furnish this information.
