INSTALLATION
Flexible pipe is prohibited on suction pipe (inlet pipe). Unions or hose couplings can be installed near pump to
facilitate removal for servicing or storage. A rubber hose installed between the water system and the house piping will
reduce the noise transmitted to the house.
1. INSTALLING PIPING IN WELL
CAUTION: Dry-fit entire assembly to ensure proper fit before gluing or taping parts. Follow all proper gluing procedures
as specified by the glue manufacturer. Always glue in a vertical direction whenever possible to prevent glue from dripping
inside pipe or fittings Use pipe tape and pipe paste compound on all male threads. Tighten with wrench to a snug fit and
add another 1/4 turn to ensure proper seal.

One pipe goes into lake, river, cistern or ponds，suction lift is less than
25'.
Install a screen around the inlet pipe to prevent the entrapment of
swimmers, wildlife and debris.
