Replacing An Old Pump
I_WARNING] 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.
Step 3.
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.
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 pump.
Please go to Page 9 for electrical connections.
Well
Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Point (Driven Point) Installation (Figure I)
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.
Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
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 threaded pipe joints with
'Teflon _Mtape or Teflon _Mbased pipe joint compound approved for
use on PVC. Joints must be air- and water-tight. If the suction pipe
can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the weft. If one well
point does not supply enough watec consider connecting two or
three well points to one suction pipe.

(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. [t 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.

Installation - Shallow Well Pump 5
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. 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 _Mtape or a Teflon _Mbased pipe joint
compound. Joints must be air- and water-tight.
If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from
the weft.
You have just completed the suction piping for your new pump.
Please go to Page 9 for electrical connections.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon _Mtape or Teflon 'M 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 puff
water from the well.

Figure 14: Prime Pump
5978 0309
I_CAUTION INever run pump dry. Running pump without water may cause
pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons
handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
[_i_WARNING]Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil
water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion
and possibly scalding persons handling pump.
Step 1. Open the pressure regulator as far as possible without backing it
out of the regulator body. Then remove the regulator from the pump
and fill the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well,
and make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have also
installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from
the tee and fill the suction piping (see Figure 13).
Step 2. Replace all fill plugs and close the pressure regulator completely
(Figure 14).
Step 3. Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The
pressure should build rapidly to about 50 PSI as the pump primes.
Step 4.
Step 5.
Step 6.
After 2 or 3 minutes, the gauge should show pressure. If not, stop
the pump, remove the fill plugs, reopen the control valve, and refill
the pump and piping. Y()u may have to repeat this two or three
times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. Don't for-
get to close the control valve each time before you start the pump.
When pressure has built up and stabilized at about 50 PSI, slowly
open the control valve (see Figure 15) and let the pressure drop
until the pressure gauge needle starts to flutter or drops to 0. When
the needle flutters or drops, close the valve iust enough to stop the
flutter or bring the needle back to a stable pressure (see Figure 15).
Y()ur pump is now operating at its most efficient point.
After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off,
check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two
and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump
starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and
stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or
two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help
clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.

Preparing to Start the Shallow We[[ Pump [2
Remove fill
plug and fill pump
and suction piping
through priming tee. '''_
Figure 16: Fill Pump through
Priming Tee
I_ CAUTION[ Never run pump dry. Running pump without water may cause
pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons
handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
[_,WARNING]Never run pump against dosed discharge. To do so can boil
water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion
and possibly scalding persons handling pump.
Step 1. Remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill
all piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all
piping in the well is full (see Figure 16). if you have also installed a
priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and
fill the suction piping.
Replace all fill plugs.Step 2.
Step 3. Power on! Start the pump. The pump should pump water in two or
three minutes.
Step 4.
Step 5.
If you don't have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop the pump and
remove the fiil plugs. Refill the pump and piping. You may have to
repeat this two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out
of the piping.
After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off,
check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two
and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump
starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and
stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or
two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help
clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
Congratulations on asuccessful installation.

hold insulated handle screwdriver BY THE HANDLE and short capacitor
[ terminals together. Do not touch metal screwdriver [)lade or capacitor terminals.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
DISCONNECT POWER and file contacts with emery board or nail file.
Refer to instructions on wiring.
Check with power company. Install heavier wiring if wire size is too small (See
Electrical /Wiring Chart).
See section below on too frequent cycling.
In new installation:
1. Re-prime according to instructions.
2. Check all connections on suction line, AVC, and ejector with soapy water or
shaving cream.
_¢.Replace foot valve or check valve.
In installation already in use:
1. Check all connections on suction line and shaft seal.
2. lower suction line into water and re-prime. If receding water level in well
exceeds 25' (7.6M), a deep well pump is needed.
Clean foot valve or strainer.
Clean ejector or impeller.
Replace check valve or foot valve.
[ Thaw pipes. Bury pipes below frost line. Heat pit or pump house.
Raise foot valve and/or strainer above bottom of water source. Clean foot valve
and strainer.
A deep well jet will be needed if your well is more than 25' (7.6M) depth to
water.
A new nozzle and venturi combination may be needed.
Steel piping (if used) is corroded or limed,
causing excess friction
Piping is too small in size
Pressure switch is out of adjustment or
contacts are welded together
Faucets have been left open
Venturi, nozzle or impeller is clogged
Standard pressure tank is waterlogged and

Adjust or replace pressure switch.
DISCONNECT POWER and open faucets until all pressure is relieved. Using
i tire pressure gauge, check air pressure in tank at valve stem located on the tank.
If less than pressure switch cut-in setting (30-50 PSI), pump air into tank from
outside source until air pressure is 2 PSI less than cut-in setting of switch. Check
air valve for leaks {use soapy solution) and replace core if necessary.
I When pump has picked up prime, it should pump solid water with no air.
Suction pipe is sucldng air. Check joints for leaks with soapy water.
Consult factory about installing a sleeve in the well.

I'ancienne tuyauterie _ la recherche de d6p6ts de tartre, de chaux, de
rouille, etc.; la remplacer solon le besoin.
2 o Brancher la pompe sur le syst6me. S'assurer que tous los raccords du tuyau
d'aspiration sont bien 6tanches, aussi bien _ I'air qu'b_ I'eau. Sile tuyau
d'aspuation aspire die I'ai_; /a pompe ne pompera pas I'eau du puits.
3 o R6gler la hauteur de montage de la pompe de fa_:on que les raccords
de plomberie n'exercent aucune contrainte sur le corps de la pompe.
Supporter les tuyaux de fa_:on que le corps de la pompe ne supporte pas [e
poids de la tuyauterie n[ des raccords.

Installation de Ja pointe filtrante (Figure J)
1 o Enfoncer la pointe dans le sol, en utilisant des <<raccords d'enfoncemenb> et
des <<chapeaux de battage>>. Los <<raccords d'enfoncemenb> sont filet6s sur
route leur Iongueur, ce qu[ permet aux extr6mit6s des tuyaux de venir en
but6e I'une contre ['autre de faqon que la force d'enfoncement du maillet
soit absorb6e par le tuyau et non pas par les filets. Los raccords ordinaires
que I'on trouve dans los quincailleries ne sont pas filet6s sur route [our
[ongueur et ils risquent de s'6craser sous I'impact des coups. Los <<raccords
d'enfoncemenb> sont 6galement plus lisses que los raccords de plomberie
standard, ce qu[ leur permet de p6n6trer plus facilement dans le sol.
2 o Monter la pompe auss[ pros que possible du puits.
3 o Utiliser [e moins possible de raccords (on particulier des coudes) Iorsque
['on branche [a tuyauterie de [a pointe filtrante sur I'orifice d'aspiration
de la pompe. Le diam6tre du tuyau d'aspiration doit 6tre au moins aussi
grand que le diam6tre de I'orifice d'aspiration de [a pompe (y compris [e
clapet anti-retour si [a pompe n'en comporte pas un - voir la Figure 1).
Supporter le tuyau de faqon qu'il ne soit pas cintr6 afin qu'il n'exerce pas
de contraintes sur le corps de la pompe; de plus, il doit 6tre 16g6rement

- en particulier des coudes - 6tant donn6 que los raccords augmentent le
frottement de I'eau dans los tuyaux (il faut toutefois ajouter un clapet de
pied -- voir la Figure 2). Le diam6tre du tuyau d'aspiration doit 6tre au
moins aussi grand que le diam6tre de I'orifice d'aspiration de [a pompe.
Supporter le tuyau de fa_:on qu'[I ne soit pas cintr6 afin qu'[I n'exerce pas
de contraintes sur le corps de la pompe; de plus, il doit 6tre 16g6rement
inclin6 vers [e haut, du puits jusqu'_ la pompe (los points hauts risquent de
causer des poches et des bouchons d'air dans la pompe). Rendre 6tanches
los raccords du tuyau d'aspiration avec du ruban T6flon _'_ou une p_te pour
raccords filet6s _ base de T6flon _. Los raccords doivent 6tre 6tanches
['air et _ I'eau. Si /e tuyau d'a_spiration a_spire de I'ait, la pompe ne pompera
pas /'eau du puit_s.
[.e branchement de cette pompe neuve sur [a tuyauterie du puits est
