Install the pump in the system. Seal the pipe joints with 1Teflon™ tape or
aTeflon™ based pipe joint compound. Make sure that all pipe joints in
the suction pipe areair-tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe
can suckair, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
Adjust the pump mounting height sothat the plumbing connections do
not put a strainon the pump body. Support the pipe sothat the pump

level
1.
Drive the well, using“drive couplings” and a “drive cap”. “Dri v e
fittings” are threaded all the way through and allow the pipe ends to
butt against eachother sothat the driving force of the maul is carried
by the pipe and not by the threads. Theordinary fittings found in
hardware stores arenot threaded all the way through the fitting and can
collapse under impact. “Drive fittings” arealso smoother than standard
plumbing fittings, making ground penetrationeasier.
Mount the pump as closeto the well as possible.
Usethe fewest possible fittings (especially elbows)when connecting
the pipe from the well point to the pump suction port. Thesuction 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 sothat thereareno dips or sags in the pipe, so it
doesn’tstrainthe pump body, and sothat it slopes slightly upward from
the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air
lock the pump). Seal the pipe joints with Teflon™ tape or aTeflon™
based pipe joint compound. J oints mustbe air- and water-tight. If the
suction pipe can suckair, the pump cannot pull water from the well. If
one well point does not supply enoughwater, considerconnecting tw o
or threewell points to one suction pipe.

Preparing to Start the Pump
Priming
Explosion hazar d . Never run pump against closeddischarge.
To do socan boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit,
risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.
Neverrun pump dr y . Runningpump without water may cause
pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burnsto persons
handling pump. F ill pump with water beforestarting.
1.
Remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all
piping betweenthe pump and the well, and make sure that all piping
in the well is full. If you havealsoinstalled a priming teein the suction
piping, removethe plug from the teeand fill the suction piping.
Replace all fill plugs.
Power on! Start the pump. If you don’t havewater after2 or 3 minutes,
stopthe pump and removethe fill plugs.Refill the pump and piping.
You may haveto repeat this several timesin order to get all the trapped
air out of the piping. A pump lifting water 25’ maytake as long as
15 minutesto prime.
After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shutoff, check
the pressure s witc h operation by opening a faucetor two and running
enoughwater out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. Thepump
should start when pressure dropsto 30 PSI and stop when pressure
reaches 50 PSI. Runthe pump through one or two complete cyclesto
verify correct operation.Thiswill alsohelp clean the system of dirt and
scale dislodgedduring installation.

Winterizing the Pump
To prepare the pump for freezing temperatures:
1.
2.
Shut off power to the pump.
Relieve system pressure. Open a faucetand let it drain until water stops
flo wing.
Drain the pump. Your pump may havea separate drain plug. Remo v e
this plug and let it drain.
Your pump mayonly havea plug or connection on the sideof the
pump. Remove this and let the pump drain. Some water will remain in
the pump. A small amount of water left in the pump will not harm it if
it freezes.
