SHALLOW WELL APPLICATION
SEE DIAGRAM ON PAGE 8
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 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.
