Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

Installation (Continued)

For horizontal runs, lay pipe from the

water source so the upward slope is at

least 1/2” per foot. This eliminates

trapped air. The threaded inlet of the

pump is 2” NPT.

Do not install suc-

tion piping near

swimming areas.

DISCHARGE PIPING

Install a 1-1/2” pipe tee in the pump

discharge to allow easy priming. Plug

the end of the tee opposite the pump

to allow the branch piping to go to the

spray nozzles (See Figure 1). Remove

the pipe plug to fill the pump with

water for priming.

CONNECTION TO WATER SOURCE

The maximum vertical suction lift from

pump to the water level is 25 feet.

DRILLED WELL

1. Install a foot valve on the first sec-

tion of pipe (see Figure 2).

2. Lower the pipe into the well.

3. Add pipe until the foot valve is 10

feet below the lowest anticipated

water level.

Leaking joints or couplings will allow

air to leak into the pipe and cause poor

pump operation. Make sure to use

pipe joint compound or Teflon

®

tape on

all pipe connections.

Locate foot valve

no closer than 2

feet from the bottom of the well so

sand or sediment is not drawn into the

system.

4. After the proper depth is reached,

install a well seal or pitless adapter

to support the pipe.

5. Slope the horizontal pipe upward

toward the pump to eliminate trap-

ping air.

6. When using a foot valve, a priming

tee and plug above the well seal is

recommended.

DRIVEN WELL

1. Drive the point several feet below

the water table.

NOTE: A packer-type foot valve can be

installed in the well (See Figure 3). This

type of foot valve allows the well pipe

to be filled with water when priming

and makes the inlet pipe much easier

to test for leaks. Follow the manufac-

turer’s instructions when installing the

packer-type foot valve.

As an alternative, an in-line check valve

can be used with a driven well (See

Figure 4).

It may be necessary to supply the

pump with multiple well points to

maintain the high flow capability of

this pump. Consult with a plumbing

professional for appropriate materials

and installation instructions.

Leaking joints or couplings will allow

air to leak into the pipe and cause poor

pump operation. Make sure to use

pipe joint compound or Teflon

®

tape on

all pipe connections.
