INTRODUCTION
A shallow well jet pump has many advantages other
types of water systems do not have. First there are no
working parts in the well. All mechanical parts, motor,
impeller, electrical controls, etc., are above ground within
easy reach. If service is ever necessary, simple hand
tools will do the job. This JET PUMP installs easily and
quickly without the need for special tools or pump rigs.
You can install it yourself provided you follow closely the
instructions contained in this manual.
The VersaJet Series is designed for shallow well
applications, and is capable of raising water from a depth
of 25 feet maximum. Up to a water draw depth of 25 feet,
the VersaJet Series pump should produce water pressure
and fl ow rates that are suitable for modern plumbing and
appliances. If there is insuffi cient pressure or fl ow for the
desired application, consult the performance charts for
the VersaJet pump to help determine if pump selection
was made correctly. The VersaJet line is capable of a
wide range of pressures and fl ows, but this may require
replacing the standard factory installed jet nozzle with
one of the other included nozzles. If the jet nozzle must
be changed for the pump to function properly, please

INSPECT YOUR SHIPMENT
All jet pumps are carefully tested, inspected, and
packaged to insure their arrival in perfect condition. When
the pump is received, examine it closely to make sure
there is no damage or broken parts that may have
occurred in shipping. If damage is evident, report this
immediately to your shipping carrier and dealer. This
shipping carrier assumes full responsibility for the
shipment's safe arrival. Any claim for damage to the
shipment, either visible or concealed, must be made
through the shipping carrier fi rst.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION OF PUMP
Decide on an area for the pump installation that is
suitable based on the enclosure rating of the electric
pump motor. All VersaJet pumps are UL778 approved
and will be marked "ACCEPTABLE FOR OUTDOOR
or INDOOR USE."
INDOOR PUMP INSTALLATION OPTION:
Choose a clean, well-ventilated, weatherproof location
that affords protection from freezing, fl ooding, and
excessive heat. In addition, it should provide access for
servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump,
tank, and service pipes. A prepared foundation is not
essential, provided the surface is hard and level. It can be
located in the basement or utility room of your house, at
the well or between the house and the well. When
installing outside of the house, the pump should be
protected by a pump house with auxiliary heat to prevent
possible freezing.
OUTDOOR PUMP INSTALLATION OPTION:
Choose a clean location best suited for the water system
required. A prepared foundation is not essential, provided
the surface is hard and level. It should provide access for
servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump,
tank, and service pipes. When installing outside of the
house, the pump and piping system must be drained
completely of water to prevent possible freezing when
weather requires.
Decide how to seal the well from surface contamination
as required by local authorities. The most common
device for this purpose is the SANITARY WELL SEAL. If
the pipes from the well have to be kept below the frost
line, either bury the wellhead or use a PITLESS
ADAPTER that leaves the wellhead exposed for
servicing while providing sealed openings in the well
casing below the frost line.
PIPING THE WELL
Suction tapping on the pump is 1-1/4" (FNPT) in size.
Suction pipe diameter should never be smaller than the
