Installation, Before YOU Install Your Pump

Installation

BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR PUMP

NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20' (6.1m) depth to water.

Step 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 possi- ble. Be sure suction line is straight and angles toward pump.

Step 2. 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.

Step 3. 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).

Step 4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in good shape.

Step 5. No air pockets in suction pipe.

Step 6. No leaks in suction pipe. Use Teflon tape or Plasto-Joint Stik to seal pipe joints.

Step 7. Unions installed near pump and well will aid in servicing. Leave room to use wrenches.

Pump body may explode if used as booster pump. DO NOT use in booster application.

Motor normally operates at high tempera- ture 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.

NOTICE: Use installation method below which matches your well type.

CASED WELL/DUG WELL INSTALLATION

Step 1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect strainer to be sure it is clean and secure.

Step 2. Connect foot valve and strainer to first length of suction pipe and lower pipe into well. Add sec- tions of pipe as needed, using Teflon 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 (pump- ing water level). Your well driller can furnish this information.

Step 3. To prevent sand and sediment from entering pumping system, foot valve/strainer should be at least 5 ft. (1.5 m) above bottom of well.

Step 4. When proper depth is reached, install sanitary well seal over pipe and in well casing. Tighten bolts to seal casing.

Step 5. When using foot valve, a priming tee and plug are recommended. (Figure 1).
