Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
INSTALLATION (CON'T)
SHALLOW WELL INSTALLATION
A shallow well pump can be used when the pump is located
within 25 feet vertically of the water level. Shallow well pumps
have only one pipe between the pump and the water supply
(Figure 2).
DRILLED WELL (FIGURE 12 ON PAGE 9)
1. Install a foot valve on the first section of pipe (Figure 2,
Illustration A).
2. Lower the pipe into the well.
3. Add pipe until the foot valve is 5 feet below the lowest
anticipated water level.
The foot valve SHOULD be at least 18" from the
bottom of the well or sand or sediment MAY be drawn
into the system.
4. After proper depth is reached, install a well seal or pitless
adapter to support pipe and prevent surface water and other
contaminants from entering well.
5. Slope the horizontal pipe upward toward the pump to
eliminate trapping air. Sloping the pipe will also aid in priming
the pump.

DRIVEN WELL (FIGURE 12 ON PAGE 9)
1. Drive the point several feet below the water table.
NOTE: A packer type foot valve can be installed in the well
(Figure 2, Illustration B). This type of foot valve allows the
well to be fi lled with water when priming and makes the inlet
pipe much easier to test for leaks. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions when installing the packer type foot valve.
As an alternative, an in-line check valve can be used with a
driven well (Figure 2, Illustration C). The pipe between the check
valve and the water level will always be under a vacuum.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow air to leak into the pipe and
cause abnormal pump operation. Make sure to use pipe joint
compound on all male pipe threads.
DUG WELL, CISTERN, LAKE AND SPRING INSTALLATION
(FIGURE 12 ON PAGE 9)
1. Install a foot valve on inlet pipe and lower into water.
The foot valve SHOULD be at least 18" from the
bottom of the well or sand or sediment MAY be drawn
into the system.

NOTE: When a lake is used as a water supply, make sure the
inlet pipe is deep enough to be submerged at all times. Slope
the horizontal piping upward toward the pump to prevent
trapping air. The pipe must be removed during winter months or
protected against freezing.
Protect the pipe from damage from swimmers and boats.
Install a screen around the inlet pipe to prevent the
entrapment of swimmers.
SHALLOW WELL PUMP WITH CONVENTIONAL STORAGE
TANK
1. Install air volume control on tank.
2. Connect the copper tube from the air volume control to the
uppermost 1/8" NPT opening on the side of pump. Be sure
the connections are tight. Leaking can cause the pump not
to prime.
3. Install a valve and an isolator hose between the tank and the
house plumbing to aid in pump removal for servicing and
for reducing the noise transmitted to the house through the
piping.
4. Provide a hose bib (faucet) at the lowest point in the system
to drain the system for service or storage.
