Replacing An Old Pump
Hazardous voltage.. Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.
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 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)
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.
2.Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
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 1Teflon™ tape or a Teflon™ based pipe joint compound. Joints must be airand watertight. 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)
1.Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
2.Assemble the foot valve, strainer, and well pipe (see Figure 2). Make sure that the foot valve works freely.
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.

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. 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 Teflon™ tape or a Teflon™ based pipe joint compound. Joints must be airand 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)
Possible contamination.. Do not use surface water for drinking. The installation shown could be used for sprinkler applications.
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.
2.Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe (see Figure 3). Make sure that the foot valve works freely. Use Teflon™ tape or a Teflon™-based pipe joint compound on threaded pipe joints. Protect the foot valve assembly from fish, trash, etc, by installing a screen around it (see Figure 3).
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.
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 Teflon™ tape or
a Teflon™ based pipe joint compound. Joints must be airand watertight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

Pre-Charge Tank Connection (Figure 4)
1.Install two tees in the pump discharge port (see Figure 4). The pipe size must be at least as large as the discharge port.
2.Run a pipe or reinforced hose from one arm of the first tee to the port on the pre-charged tank.
3.Connect the other end of the discharge tee to your plumbing system. Cap the tee with a threaded plug or a pressure gauge.
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 Page 7 for electrical hookup.
* Model PNCSS does not include a pressure switch.
Standard Tank Connection (Figure 5)
1.Install one tee in the pump discharge port (see Figure 5).
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.
3.Install a tee in the suction pipe near the pump. Install a reducer bushing down to 1/8” NPT in the tee. Run tubing from the tee to the port on the AVC mounted on the tank. Seal all joints with Teflon™ tape. See instructions provided with the tank and the AVC for details.
Congratulations! You have just completed the tank connection for your jet pump. Please go to Page 7 for electrical hookup.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only 1Teflon™ tape or Teflon™ based joint compounds 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.

Hazardous voltage.. Can shock, burn, or kill. Connect ground wire before connecting power supply wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire) specified in the wiring chart. If possible, connect the pump to a separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it.
Explosion hazard.. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
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 may be set for 115 V or 230 V. If necessary, reset the motor to the desired voltage, as shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compliance with the 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:
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.
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.
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 (3 m) long, or to a ground electrode provided by the power company or the hydro authority.
4.Connect the power supply wires to the pressure switch as shown in Figure 6.
