REPLACING AN OLD PUMP
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to
pump before working on pump or motor.
Step 1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old
pipe for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if
necessary.
Step 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.
Step 3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the
plumbing 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.
You have just completed the well plumbing for
your new shallow well jet pump. Please go to
Page 6 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
WELL POINT (DRIVEN POINT)
INSTALLATION (Figure 1)
Step 1. Drive the well, using “drive couplings” and a
“drive cap”. “Drive fittings” are threaded all the
way through and allow the pipe ends to butt
against each other so that the driving force of the
maul is carried by the pipe and not by the threads.
The ordinary fittings found in hardware stores are
not threaded all the way through the fitting and
can collapse under impact. “Drive fittings” are
also smoother than standard plumbing fittings,
making ground penetration easier.

Step 2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
Step 3. Use the fewest possible fittings (especially
elbows) when connecting the pipe from the well
point to the pump suction port. The suction pipe
should be at least as large as the suction port on
the pump (include a check valve if your pump is
not equipped with one – see Figure 1). 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 PTFE pipe thread sealant tape.
Joints must be air- and water-tight. If the suction
pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water
from the well. If one well point does not supply
enough water, consider connecting two or three
well points to one suction pipe.
You have just completed the suction piping for
your new shallow well jet pump. Please go to
Page 6 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
CASED WELL INSTALLATION, 2” OR
LARGER CASING (Figure 2)
Step 1. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
Step 2. Assemble the foot valve, strainer, and well pipe
(see Figure 2). Make sure that the foot valve
works freely.

Step 3. Lower the pipe into the well until the strainer is
five feet above the bottom of the well. It should
also be at least 10 feet below the well’s water level
while the pump is running in order to prevent the
pump from sucking air. Install a sanitary well seal.
Step 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.
Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on threaded pipe
joints. 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 PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Joints
must be air- and water-tight. If the suction pipe
can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the
well.
You have just completed the suction piping for
your new shallow well jet pump. Please go to
Page 6 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
INSTALLATION FOR SURFACE WATER
(Figure 3)
Step 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.
Step 2. Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe (see
Figure 3). Make sure that the foot valve works
freely. Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on
threaded pipe joints. Protect the foot valve
assembly from fish, trash, etc, by installing a
screen around it (see Figure 3).
Step 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.
Step 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
PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Joints must be airand water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air,
the pump cannot pull water from the well.

Step 2. Run a pipe or reinforced hose from one arm of
the first tee to the port on the pre-charged tank.
Step 3. Connect the other end of the discharge tee to
your plumbing system.
Step 4. Check the pre-charge of air in the tank with an
ordinary tire gauge. The pre-charge should be
2 PSI less than the cut-in setting of the pump’s
pressure switch. The pre-charge is measured
when there is no water pressure in the tank. Your
new pump has a 30/50 PSI switch, so adjust the
tank pre-charge pressure to 28 PSI.
Congratulations! You have just completed the
tank connection for your jet pump.
Please go to Pages 7 and 8 for electrical hookup.
Figure 5: Standard Tank Connections
Step 2. Run a pipe from the pump discharge port to the
inlet port of your tank. The pipe size must be at
least as large as the discharge port.
Step 3. Remove the 1/8” NPT pipe plug from the pump
Air Volume Control (AVC) port (see Figure 5).
Run tubing from the pump’s AVC port (see Figure
5) to the port on the AVC mounted on the tank.
See instructions provided with tank and AVC for
details. AVC port location will vary, depending on
your pump model (see exploded views, Page 10).
Congratulations! You have just completed the
tank connection for your jet pump.
Please go to Pages 7 and 8 for electrical hookup
Sealing Pipe Joints
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 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.

MOTOR SWITCH SETTINGS
Dual-voltage motors (motors that can operate at either
115 or 230 volts), are set at the factory to 230 volts. Do
not change motor voltage setting if line voltage is 230
volts, or if you have a single voltage motor.
NOTE: Never wire a 115 volt motor to a 230 volt line.
Remove Motor End Cover
If you have a dual-voltage motor, and will connect it to
115 volts, follow the procedure below.

To change to 115 volts:
Step 1. Make sure power is off.
Step 2. Turn the dial counter-clockwise until 115 shows
in the dial window.
Step 3. The wires from the pressure switch should
already be attached to to power lead terminals.
Step 4. Reinstall the Motor end cover.

WIRING CONNECTIONS
Fire hazard. Incorrect voltage can cause
a fire or seriously damage the motor and voids the
warranty. The supply voltage must be within ±10% of
the motor nameplate voltage.
NOTICE: Dual-voltage motors are factory wired for 230
volts. If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, as
shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in
compliance with the United States National Electrical
Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as
applicable, and with all local codes and ordinances that
apply. Consult your local building inspector for code
information.
Connection Procedure:
Step 1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure
6. The ground wire must be a solid copper wire
at least as large as the power supply wires.
Step 2. There must be a solid metal connection between
the pressure switch and the motor for motor
grounding protection. If the pressure switch is
not connected to the motor, connect the green
ground screw in the switch to the green ground
screw under the motor end cover. Use a solid
copper wire at least as large as the power supply
wires.
Step 3. Connect the ground wire to a grounded lead in
a service panel, to a metal underground water
pipe, to a metal well casing at least ten feet (3M)
long, or to a ground electrode provided by the
power company or the hydro authority.
Step 4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure
