use as few elbows and fittings as possible°
2_ Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the pump
and void the warranty°
3, Protect pump and all piping from freezing_ Freezing
will split pipe, damage pump and void the warranty.
Check locally for frost protection requirements
(usually pipe must be 12" below frost line and pump
must be insulated).
4, Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in good
shape.

Well Pipe Installation
NOTICE: Use the installation method below which
matches your well type°
CASED WELL INSTALLATION
Io Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect
strainer to be sure it is clean°
2o Connect foot valve and strainer to the first length of
suction pipe and lower pipe into well Add sections of
pipe as needed, using Teflon tape on male threads_ Be
sure that all suction pipe is leakproof or' pump will
lose prime and fail to pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20
feet below the lowest level to which water will drop
while pump is operating (pumping water level). Your
well driller can furnish this information.
3. To prevent sand and sediment from entering the
pumping system, the foot valve/strainer should be at
least 5 feet above the bottom of the well
4_ When the proper depth is reached, install a sanitary
well seal over the pipe and in the well casing. Tighten
the bolts to seal the casing.
5o When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug as
shown in Figure 5 are recommended
