SHALLOW WELL JET PUMP
INSTALLATIONS:
• Have a vertical depth of 25' or less.
• Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.
• Can be installed in a bored or drilled well, or in a driven
well.
REPLACING AN OLD PUMP
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or kill.
Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.
This pump can replace some shallow well jet pumps. This will
require reusing the pressure switch and wiring the pump to
the switch.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for
scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe
joints in the suction pipe are air-tight as well as water
tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be
able to pull water from the well.
3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing
connections do not put a strain on the pump body.
Support the pipe so that the pump body does not take the
weight of piping or fittings.
This completes the well plumbing for your new shallow
well jet pump. Please go to Page 6 for
discharge pipe and tank connections.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon tape for making all threaded con-
nections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint
compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with
the plastic in pump components. Make sure that all
pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well
as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the
pump will not be able to pull water from the well.

BOOSTING CITY WATER PRESSURE
Hazardous pressure. Never run the pump
against a closed discharge. To do so can boil the water inside
the pump, causing hazardous pressure in the pump causing
the risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons nearby. See
Figure 1.
Figure 1: Do Not Run Pump With Outlet Shut Off.
When using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use only a
reinforced high pressure hose or pipe for the discharge line.
When using a garden hose, install adapters to the pump suc-
tion and the discharge. The suction hose will require two
female ends. Either use a standard washing machine supply
hose or modify a short piece of standard 1" garden hose as a
suction line (See Figure 2).
