INSTALLATION STEPS
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.
