For sand
or well
points
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 the 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 on a sound foundation, as close as possible to the water. Locate the suction
inlet in the front of the pump body. 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 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 sur-
face, 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 described in steps 3 and 4.
