Sealing Pipe Joints

Use only teflon tape for making all threaded connec- tions to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint com- pounds on plastic: they can react with the plastic. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
