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.
STEP 1
For installation where the water level is between 0 to 25 feet (0
to 7.5 m) deep from the pump location, your injector as been pre-
installed in manufacture with the venturi 506308.1. It is a shallow
well application mode. Only one (1) pipe is required to pump from
this level. The injector is fixed directly to the pump body (see on page 4).
However, if the pumping level is between 25 to 80 feet (7.5 to 24 m)
deep from the pump location, you will need to remove the injector
from the pump body, unscrew the nozzle venturi pre-installed and
replace it by the enclosed nozzle/venturi 506308.2. This is a deep
well application mode. The injector will be installed into the well with
two (2) pipes fixed to the pump body (see on page 5).
For deep well application mode, 25’ to 80’.
For shallow well application mode, 0’ to 25’.
