7. Position two hose clamps over end of the plastic
pipe. Slide plastic pipe over the plastic pipe adapter
all the way to the shoulder. Position the clamp
tightening screws opposite each other and away from
the motor lead wires to prevent insulation damage.
Tighten the hose clamps and tape clamp tab ends to
pipe with plastic tape.
8. Splice the electric cable to the pump leads.
Heat shrink tubing and Sta-kon connectors are
recommended. It is necessary that the splice be
water tight.
9. Unroll the electric cable along side of the plastic pipe.
Be sure not to damage wire insulation, and that all
kinks are straightened out.
10. Cut the plastic pipe to proper length.
11. Slide cable guards over plastic pipe and submersible
cable. One at 15 ft. above the pump and one every
25 ft. thereafter. Secure guards in position with
retaining clamps or tape.
12. Attach assembly used to plastic pipe with two
stainless steel hose clamps. Tighten clamps securely.
Be sure to assemble the elbow
on the pipe above the well seal. This will prevent
dropping of the pump and piping into the well as you
lower it.

13. Tape electric cable to pipe about every five feet. Use
only 1-1/2 to 2 wraps of tape, so as to allow for some
movement of the cable. Tape spliced connections to
pipe to eliminate rubbing against well casing. Leave
four to five feet of slack, at the upper end to allow for
plastic pipe stretch.
14. Tie safety rope, through eyelet on top of pump. Tape
end of rope to prevent unraveling. Tape safety rope
to pipe every 20 feet. Do not leave any slack in rope.
Tie securely on bottom side of well seal or pitless
adapter and tape end of rope.
LOWERING PUMP INTO THE WELL
Never support the weight of pump
and piping by the electric cable, as this weight will
break the cable connections.
15. The pump is now ready to be lowered into the well.
A helper will be needed to handle the other end of
the assembly. With the plastic pipe and wire cable
assembly over your shoulder, lift the pump, being
very careful not to kink the plastic pipe.
16. Guide the pump and piping into the well. Protect the
cable when lowering to prevent scraping or damage
by the edge of the well casing.
17. The helper brings his end of the assembly forward as
needed. Keep the pipe, cable, and rope free of grass
or other foreign matter.
18. When the entire assembly is in the well, make sure
well seal is seated. Tighten the four bolts in well seal
evenly.

Controller Location Selection
The CP WATER SD100 standard NEMA 1controller is
intended for indoor use and for operation in ambient
temperatures up to 125° F (50° C). For outdoor
installations, a system with a NEMA 4 rated controller
must be used. (Models with 7th and 8th characters
of “N4”). To ensure maximum weather protection, the
unit must be mounted vertically with the cover properly
aligned and secured with all lid screws. The following
recommendations will help in selection of the proper
location of the CP WATER SD100 unit:
