Before You Install Your Pump
NOTICE: Pump must not be more than 20' higher than water source.
1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction and reduce flow. Locate
pump as close to well as possible: use as few elbows and fittings
as possible.
2. Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the pump and void
the warranty.
3. Protect pump and all piping from freezing. Freezing will split pipe,
damage pump and void the warranty. Check locally for frost protection
requirements (usually pipe must be 12" below frost line and pump must
be insulated).

4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in good shape.

1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect strainer to be sure it
is clean.
2. Connect foot valve and strainer to the first length of suction pipe and
lower pipe into well. Add sections of pipe as needed. Seal the pipe
joints with Teflon™ tape or a Teflon™ based pipe joint compound.
Be sure that all suction pipe is leakproof or pump will lose prime and
fail to pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20 feet below the lowest level to
which water will drop while pump is operating (pumping water level).
Your well driller can furnish this information.
3. To prevent sand and sediment from entering the pumping system,
the foot valve/strainer should be at least 5 feet above the bottom of
the well.
4. When the proper depth is reached, install a sanitary well seal over the
pipe and in the well casing. Tighten the bolts to seal the casing.
5. When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug as shown in Figure 5
are recommended.
