Burcam 506518SS SW STAINLESS STEEL JET PUMP 3/4HP 115/230V - Manual (Page 4)

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 file. (Check that no cut-out parts are left inside
of pipe. This may block pump injector or impeller).
Tape male adaptor threads with teflon 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 thru 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 and screw your injector body to your pump body. Locate the
suction inlet in the front of the injector. Thread an adaptor into inlet using teflon 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 fill 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.
