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.
