SHALLOW WELL JET PUMP

INSTALLATIONS:

•Have a vertical depth of 25’ or less.

•Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.

•Can be installed in a bored or drilled well, or in a driven well.

REPLACING AN OLD PUMP

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or

kill. Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.

This pump can replace shallow well jet pump, Model 3825. This will require reusing the pressure switch and wiring the pump to the switch.

1.Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.

2.Install the pump in the system. 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.

3.Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumb- ing connections do not put a strain on the pump body. Support the pipe so that the pump body does not take the weight of piping or fittings.

This completes the well plumbing for your new shal- low well jet pump. Please go to Page 6 for discharge pipe and tank connections.

Sealing Pipe Joints

Use only Teflon tape for making all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in pump components. 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.

BOOSTING CITY WATER PRESSURE

Hazardous pressure. Never run the pump against a closed discharge. To do so can boil the water inside the pump, causing hazardous pressure in the pump causing the risk of explosion and possibly scald- ing persons nearby. See Figure 1.

When using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use only a reinforced high pressure hose or pipe for the dis- charge line.

When using a garden hose, install adapters to the pump suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require two female ends. Either use a standard washing machine supply hose or modify a short piece of standard 1" gar- den hose as a suction line (See Figure 2).
