FRICTION LOSS IN PIPE
NOT INCLUDED
INSTALLATION STEPS
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY

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.
