INSTALLATION FOR SURFACE WATER

The pump should be installed as close to the water as possible, with the fewest possible fittings (especially elbows) in the suction pipe.

The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump.
Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe. Make sure that the foot valve works freely. Use Teflon tape on threaded pipe joints. Protect the

foot valve assembly from fish, trash, etc, by installing a screen around it.
Lower the pipe into the water until the strainer is 5 ft. above the bottom. It should also be at least 10ft. below the water level in order to

prevent the pump from sucking air.
Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it

does not strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which
can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with teflon tape. Joints must be air-tight and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck
air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.
You have just completed the plumbing for your new shallow well jet pump. Please go to Pages 10 and 11 for discharge pipe and tank
connections.
