PRELIMINARY TEST RUN

WARNING: All electrical wiring or service
should be done by qualified electrician. Be sure
to test cable for continuity with an ohmmeter
before starting the pump.
1. All wells should be flushed clear before
allowing water into the house. (Fig. 1)
2. Open an outside faucet and allow water
to run until water is clear of sand or any
other impurities. If an outside faucet is not
available, place softener in bypass position,
remove aerator from a high-flow faucet
and allow water to run until it is clear of
impurities. Once clear, turn off water flow,
replace aerator and put softener back into
service position. (Fig. 2)
CAUTION: Be sure you do not stop
pump before water runs clear. This may take
several hours. If pump stops with sand in it, it
may lock.
3. If pump lowers water in the well far enough
to lose prime, either lower pump in the well
(if possible) or throttle (slow down) the
discharge of the well with the gate valve to
match the capacity of the well. (Fig. 3)
NOTE: If the well is low capacity, use a low
water level control.
