INSTALLATION STEPS
FRICTION
LOSS IN PIPE
NOT INCLUDED
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 2” to 2 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 TO THE
PUMP MUST BE INSTALLED IN A TRENCH, BELOW THE FROST LEVEL OF
YOUR AREA, FOR A YEAR ROUND APPLICATION.
