4.Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump (see Figure 2). Connect the pipe from the well to the pump suction port, using the fewest possible fittings – especially elbows – as fittings increase friction in the pipe (however, include a foot valve – see Figure 2). The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with Teflon™ tape or a Teflon™ based pipe joint compound. Joints must be air- and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

Installation for Surface Water (Figure 3)

Possible contamination.. Do not use surface water for drinking. The installation shown could be used for sprinkler applications.

1.The pump should be installed as close to the water as possible, with the fewest possible fittings (especially elbows) in the suction pipe. The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump.

2.Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe (see Figure 3). Make sure that the foot valve works freely. Use Teflon™ tape or a Teflon™-based pipe joint compound on threaded pipe joints. Protect the foot valve assembly from fish, trash, etc, by installing a screen around it (see Figure 3).

3.Lower the pipe into the water until the strainer is five feet above the bottom. It should also be at least 10 feet below the water level in order to prevent the pump from sucking air.

4.Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump (see Figure 3). Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with Teflon™ tape or

a Teflon™ based pipe joint compound. Joints must be air- and water- tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.
