PRIMING PROCESS
Follow all these inside step by step instructions to install your pump. Use teon tape on
all threads. (1) Fill the suction line with water and connect it to the suction inlet.
(2) Remove the priming plug and ll the pump body with water. (3) Screw the plug to
the priming inlet. (4) Turn the power on. The pump should deliver water to the plumbing
line within 30 seconds. If not, unplug the pump and repeat the process at step 2.

Tools
Screwdrivers, hacksaw to cut pipe, knife to assist in pipe cutting, round le to smooth pipe ends, pipe wrench,
adjustable wrench to tighten ttings, propane torch and welding material.
Monthly Mandatory check-up:
1. Inspect the pump for any obvious condition that necessitates cleaning, correction, adjustement or repair.
2. Clear the surrounding of any paper, leaves or other debris.
3. Assure that the pump is secure for proper operation.
4. Assure that there is adequate clearance from any combustible materials or stucture. Stored materials
must be kept away from the pump. Shelves or cabinet structures must not be in close proximity over
the pump.
5. Assure that the motor is securely plugged into a proper GFCI electrical outlet.
6. Test the GFCI outlet by pressing its test switch. This should prove that the outlet is energized and will trip
off to protect against a ground fault. Be sure to reset the GFCI by pressing its reset switch.
7. Observe that the plumbing can carry the water safely into the residence.

FRICTION LOSS IN
PIPE NOT INCLUDED
INSTALLATION STEPS
We recommend that you install your pump in a clean and dry location where
there is adequate room for servicing at a later date. Protection from freezing
temperatures and good ventilation should be considered as well, to provide the
pump an environment for long life. Locating the pump as close as possible to the
water source will reduce friction losses encountered in the suction pipe.
Friction losses in the suction pipe must be taken into consideration when the
horizontal offset is greater than 50 feet. The suction pipes should be increased
from 1” to 1 1/4”. This will reduce friction losses and allow the pump to give
maximum performance.
A new well should be checked to determine that it is free from sand. Sand will
damage the seal and the impeller. Have your well driller clean the well before
your installation.
Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur. Fill pump body and
suction pipe with water before turning on the power.
THE RUN OF HORIZONTAL PIPE FROM THE TOP OF YOUR WELL
INTO THE HOUSE, WHERE YOUR PUMP WILL BE LOCATED,
MUST BE INSTALLED IN A TRENCH, BELOW THE FROST LEVEL
OF YOUR AREA.

SHALLOW WELL APPLICATION
SEE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 7
Cut the desired length of poly pipe to run from the top of the well to the pumping level.
Smooth the pipe cuttings with your round le. (Check that no cut-out parts are left inside of
the pipe. This may block pump injector or impeller). Tape male adaptor threads with teon
tape and thread adaptor into the foot valve. Slide 2 stainless steel clamps over one end of
pipe and use torch to soften pipe. Insert the male adaptor and foot valve into this pipe end.
Tighten clamps with screwdriver when cool. For security against leaks, we suggest to
install 2 stainless steel clamps on each adaptor.
Insert the well seal elbow through the opening of the seal.
Slide 2 stainless steel clamps over the free end of the previously cut pipe and soften pipe
with your torch. Attach pipe to the well seal elbow (end protruding at bottom of well seal).
Tighten clamps with screwdriver when cool.
Install the well seal and piping assembly into your well casing. Tight down the well seal bolts
using your adjustable wrench.
Install your pump in the house, on a sound foundation, as close as possible to the basement
wall. Locate the suction inlet in the front of the injector. Thread an adaptor into inlet using
teon tape. Do not over tighten.
Cut the desired length of pipe from pump location to the well seal and connect both ends
using the previous way, with stainless steel clamps and torch. Do not ll in your trench to
the house until you have checked for any leaks in your connections or trouble in your
water system.
Sand or well points are limited to areas where water bearing sand or gravel lies below the
surface, and where there are no boulders or rocks to interfere with the driving into the ground
of the point.
The amount of water any “one” well point will supply is usually rather limited. Sometimes, it is
necessary to use more than one point to increase the supply of water, entering to the pump’s
suction.
THE IMPORTANT INSTALLATION STEP IN USING WELL POINTS IS THAT A CHECK
VALVE MUST BE USED IN THE SUCTION PIPE LEADING TO THE SUCTION INLET,
AS CLOSE TO THE PUMP AS POSSIBLE, TO KEEP SUCTION LINE AND PUMP WELL
PRIMED.
To facilitate servicing at a later date, you may use a pitless adaptor and a sealed well cap
instead of an elbow and a well seal as describe in steps 3 and 4.

TANK INSTALLATION
SEE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 8
Packaged systems have the pump mounted directly to the tank. The pump to tank plumbing
ttings are pre-assembled in factory. You only have to connect the discharge line of your
system to your home’s plumbing distribution line. When using a separate tank from your
pump, we recommend to install a captive air tank as shown in our typical installation diagram,
that is air injected into the tank at the factory. This air, which is in addition to atmospheric
pressure, increase the ability of the tank to deliver more water between on/off cycles, this
increasing the efciency of your water system. Connect the pump discharge to the tank T,
using adaptors and braided hose, then, connect the other side of tank T to your home’s
plumbing distribution line.
Make sure that the precharged air pressure (before connecting the tank) is 2 PSI less
than the starting pressure setted on the pressure switch of your pump. If you adjust the
air pressure after the installation, follow these steps:
- Check the starting pressure of the pump on the pressure gauge;
- Disconnect the power to the pump;
- Open nearest fawcet to the tank and relieve all pressure in tank, then close
the fawcet;
- Adjust the air pressure of the tank (by pumping or removing air at the snifter valve)
2 PSI below pressure switch “ON” setting;
- Turn power back on to pump.
Your tank is now well precharged. Run the pump through a few cycles to verify that it works
properly.
Other types of tanks may be used, as galvanized standard tanks, epoxy or glass lined tanks.
These products do not achieve the benets of the captive air tanks.
Epoxy or glass lined tanks with oat have to be precharged by the installer. Assuming tank is
plumbed to pump and all connections are checked for leaks, follow these steps:
- Run pump through one complete cycle, until pump shuts off;
- Disconnect the power to the pump;
- Open nearest fawcet to the tank and relieve all pressure in tank, then close
the fawcet;
- Close service line gate valve;
- With a car tire pump, inject air into the snifter valve located in tank. Watch pump
pressure gauge and stop pumping air when pressure reach 2 PSI below pressure
switch “ON” setting;
- Return power back on to pump;
- Run pump through one complete cycle;
- Open service line gate valve.
Your tank is now well precharged. Run the pump through a few cycles to verify that it works
properly.
Galvanized standard tanks require an air volume control to be used with jet pump. We do not
recommend the installation of this type of tank with your jet pump. This type of galvanized
tank is recommended with piston pumps.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
STEP 9

We recommend that a licensed electrician be employed to do the proper wiring to the pressure switch,
and to permanently ground the motor in accordance to the electrical codes in your area.
Do not use an extension cord to connect your pump to the power source. From your
distribution panel to the pressure switch, we recommend a wire gauge not smaller than 14 gauge.
This is a dual voltage 115/230 pump. The voltage selection switch is located inside the terminal box.
The motor is factory wired on 115V. For 230V selection, please open the terminal cover and set the switch to
the proper voltage. (See above drawing on right ).
Pressure switch setting (start/stop 20/40 or 30/50) has been made at the factory. Adjustments may be done
to give other operating pressures.
Adjustment or modication of start/stop setting of pressure switch have to be done carefully.
Turn adjustment nut half turn at a time.
Turn nut 1 clockwise to raise start and stop pressure setting. Never turn nut 2. This will change the 20
PSI range between start and stop presssure and may damage your tank’s bladder or modify the
efciency of your water system. Check system operation after each adjustment.
VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH
1. POWER off.
2. Please SELECT the up knob position
for 115 V or down knob position for 230 V.
3. CONNECT to appropriate power source.
