Installation 4
BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR PUMP
NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20' depth to water.
1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction and reduce flow. Locate
pump as close to well as possible: 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, dam-
age 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.
5. No air pockets in suction pipe.
6. No leaks in suction pipe. Use Teflon tape or Plasto-Joint Stik to seal pipe
joints.
7. Unions installed near pump and well will aid in servicing. Leave room
to use wrenches.
8. Pump body may explode if used as a booster pump. DO
NOT use in a booster application.
NOTICE: Use the installation method on page 5 which matches your
well type.
9. Install a check valve in the pump suction port. Be sure that the flow
arrow points toward the pump. Failure to install a check valve on the
inlet side of the pump may allow the pump body to drain between
pump cycles, causing dry running, seal or internal failure, and voiding
the warranty.

CASED WELL INSTALLATION
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 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 (pump-
ing 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.
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 Teflon tape on male
pipe threads. Multiple well points may be necessary to provide suffi-
cient water to pump.
2. Install a check valve in horizontal pipe. Flow arrow on check valve
must point toward pump.
HORIZONTAL PIPING FROM WELL TO PUMP
1. Never install a suction pipe that is smaller than the suction port of the
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.
• Up to 100' run: Same size as pump discharge port.
• 100' to 300' run: Increase one pipe size.
• 300' to 600' run: Increase two pipe sizes.
SPRINKLING APPLICATION
This pump is designed to deliver plenty of water at full sprinkler pressure. It can
pump from a pond, cistern or well points.
Pump discharge can be divided to supply two (2) or more sprinkler systems.
A suggested multiple discharge to service is shown in Figure 7.
Do not use in a pressure tank or booster pump application.

PUMP INSTALLATION
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 Teflon 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 possible. 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 installa-
tions, 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 Installation” for more
information.
WIRING

Operation 8
PRIMING THE PUMP
NOTICE: The term ‘priming’ refers to the process of pumping all the air out
of the system, filling the pump and suction piping with water, and begin-
ning to move water through the pump and out into the system. A ‘self-
priming’ pump generally will repeat this process without attention once the
pump and system are full of water. If the water drains out of the pump
(back into the well, for example), then the whole priming process must be
repeated before operating the pump again.
To make sure that the pump will ‘retain its prime’ (that is, that the pump
and its piping will stay full of water), BE SURE to install a check valve in
the pump inlet port with the flow arrow pointing towards the pump. The
check valve will prevent water from siphoning out of the pump body and
back down into the well, which will keep the pump full and allow it to
restart on its own.
DO NOT remove the recirculation valve cover (there are spring-loaded
parts inside the recirculation valve – see Figure 16, Page 9) when priming
or draining the pump. The drain is a hex-head pipe plug underneath the
pump body. To drain the pump, remove the hex plug (Key No. 17, Page
12). Do not disturb the recirculation valve (Key No. 19, Page 12).
• If the pump or the suction pipe have been drained for any reason, BE
SURE to reprime the pump before starting it.
NOTICE: NEVER run the pump dry. Running the pump without water in it
will damage the seals, can melt the impellers and diffusers, and voids the
warranty. To prevent damage, fill the pump with water before starting.
1. Remove priming plug (Figure 13).
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 Teflon tape on thread; tighten plug.
NOTICE: If a priming tee and plug have been provided for a long hori-
zontal run, be sure to fill suction pipe through this tee and replace plug.
(Don’t forget to Teflon tape the plug.)
5. Start pump: water should be produced in 5 minutes or less, the time
depending on depth to water (not more than 20') and length of horizon-
tal run (10' of horizontal suction pipe = 1' of vertical lift due to friction
losses in the pipe).
If no water is produced within 5 minutes, stop pump, release all pres-
sure, remove priming plug, refill and try again.
Hazardous pressure and risk of explosion and scalding. If
pump is run continuously 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 pres-
sure, drain pump and refill with cold water after every two attempts.
C. When priming, monitor pump and piping temperature. If pump or pip-
ing 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.

MAINTENANCE
If motor is replaced, replace the shaft seal and O-Rings. Keep a seal and
O-Rings on hand for future use.
Be sure to prime pump before starting.
NOTICE: The mechanical shaft seal in the pump is water lubricated and
self-adjusting.
NOTICE: Drain pump (see Figure 16) when disconnecting from service or
when it might freeze. You can fill the pump with RV anti-freeze (propylene
glycol) to prevent it from freezing. DO NOT remove the Recirculation
Valve to drain the pump (Figure 16). Remove the hex head plug on the
bottom of the Pump Suction Body to drain the pump.
PUMP DISASSEMBLY

1. Turn the bracket pump side up on the bench. You will need to block it
up to do this (See Figure 22).
2. Clean the seal cavity in the bracket.
3. Wet the outer edge of the rubber cup on the ceramic seat with liquid
soap. Be sparing!
4. Put a clean cardboard washer on the seal face. With thumb pressure,
press the ceramic seal half firmly and squarely into the seal cavity. The
polished face of the ceramic seat is up. If the seal will not seat correctly,
remove it, placing the seal face up on the bench. Reclean the cavity.
The seal should now seat correctly.
5. If the seal does not seat correctly after recleaning the cavity, place a
clean cardboard washer over the polished seal face and carefully press
it into place using a piece of standard 3/4" pipe as a press.
NOTICE: Be sure you do not scratch the seal face.
6. Dispose of the cardboard washer and recheck the seal face to be sure it
is free of dirt, foreign particles, scratches and grease.
7. Inspect the shaft to be sure it is free of nicks and scratches.
PUMP REASSEMBLY
1. Bolt the bracket down to the foundation (see Figure 23).
2. Slide the motor shaft through the seal and bolt up the motor (see Figure
23). Make sure that the slinger is on the shaft between the bracket and
the motor flange. Make sure that you don’t chip the seal face with the
shaft shoulders and that the shaft does not take the weight of the motor
at any time.
2. CAREFULLY slide the rotating seal half onto the shaft, seal face first.
Make sure that you don’t chip the seal face on the shaft shoulders.
3. Follow the seal half with the spacer (Key No. 7). Slide the washer up
against the seal.
4. Slide a diffuser onto the shaft (open face out) until it seats on the brack-
et (see Figure 24). Follow the diffuser with an impeller. Engage the
molded impeller key in the slot in the shaft. Don’t force it! Be sure that
the impeller eye faces out (forward).
5. Repeat step 4 with the remaining impellers and diffusers.
6. Reinstall the toothed washer, the flat washer, and the impeller nut (in
that order – Key Nos. 12,13,14) onto the motor shaft (see Figure 25).
Hold the shaft and tighten the impeller nut to 12 ft.-lbs. torque.
