1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect strainer to be sure it
is clean.
2. Connect foot valve and strainer to the first length of suction pipe and
lower pipe into well. Add sections of pipe as needed, using PTFE pipe
thread sealant 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 in formation.
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.
5. When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug as shown in Figure 5
are recommended.
DUG WELL INSTALLATION
Same as cased well installation.
DRIVEN POINT INSTALLATION
1. Connect the suction pipe to the drive point as illustrated in Figure 6.
Keep horizontal pipe run as short as possible. Use PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape on male pipe threads. Multiple well points may be
necessary to provide sufficient water to pump.
2. Install a check valve in horizontal pipe. Flow arrow on check valve
must point toward pump.

2. To aid priming on well point installations, install a line check valve as
shown in Figure 6. Be sure check valve flow arrow points toward pump.
DISCHARGE PIPE SIZES
1. If increasing discharge pipe size, install reducer in pump discharge port.
Do not increase pipe size by stages.
2. When the pump is set away from the points of water use, the discharge
pipe size should be increased to reduce pressure losses caused by
friction.

Piping Attached to Pump
NOTICE: Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant 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 the 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.
1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation.
2. Support all piping connected to the pump.
3. Wrap 1-1/2 to two layers of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape clockwise (as
you face end of pipe) on all male threads being attached to pump.
4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not overtighten.
NOTICE: Install pump as close to well head as poss ible. Long piping runs
and many fittings create friction and reduce flow.
NOTICE: For long horizontal pipe runs, install a priming tee between
check valve and well head as shown in Figure 6. For driven point
installations, install a check valve as shown in Figure 6. Be sure check
valve flow arrow points toward pump.
Use schedule 80 or iron pipe. See “Well Pipe In stalla tion” for more
information.

PRIMING THE PUMP
NOTICE: ‘Priming’ refers to the pump expelling all air in the system and
beginning to move water from its source out into the system. It does not
refer only to pouring water into the pump (although pouring water in is
usually the first step).
NOTICE: NEVER run pump dry. Running pump with out water in it will
damage seals and can melt impeller and diffuser. To prevent damage, fill
Figure 14 – Remove Priming Plug
P
Figure 15 – Fill Pump Before Starting
pump with water before starting.
1. Remove priming plug (Figure 14).
2. Make sure suction and discharge valves and any hoses on discharge side
of pump are open.
3. Fill pump and suction pipe with water.
4. Replace priming plug, using PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on thread;
tighten plug.
NOTICE: If a priming tee and plug have been provided for a long
horizontal run, be sure to fill suction pipe through this tee and replace
plug. (Don’t forget to tape the plug.)
5. Start pump: water should be produced in 10 minutes or less, the
time depending on depth to water (not more than 20') and length of
horizontal run (10' of horizontal suction pipe = 1' of vertical lift due to
friction losses in the pipe).
If no water is produced within 10 minutes, stop pump, release all
pressure, remove priming plug, refill and try again.
Figure 16 – Run Ten Minutes or Less
Hazardous pressure and risk of ex plo sion and scalding. If
pump is run con ti nu ously at no flow (that is, with discharge shut off or
without priming), water may boil in pump and piping system. Under
steam pressure, pipes may rupture, blow off of fittings or blow out of
pump ports and scald anyone near.
To prevent explosion, do the following:
A. Be sure discharge (valve, pistol grip hose nozzle, etc.) is open whenever
pump is running.
B. If pump fails to produce water when attempting to prime, release
all pressure, drain pump and refill with cold water after every two
attempts.
C. When priming, monitor pump and piping tempera ture. If pump or
piping begin to feel warm to the touch, shut off pump and allow system
to cool off. Release all pressure in system and refill pump and piping
with cold water.
