Installation
Process C. 1. Install a shallow well
pump (SDTS5-01, SDTS10-01)
DRAINING FOR SERVICING OR FOR WINTER
The pump should be drained before it is disconnected for
servicing or if it is in danger of freezing. To drain:
• Remove drain plug from bottom of pump case.
• Remove discharge tee to vent the pump.
• Drain all piping to a point 3 feet (1 meter) below
ground level.
For wells 25 feet or less in depth, the 1/2 HP SDTS5-01 and 1
HP SDTS10-01 pumps are recommended. However, the 1 HP
SD-100-01 and the 1/2 HP SD-520-01 convertible pumps may
be adapted to shallow wells with an ejector kit.
General Materials Required
• One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
• One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
• One 1-1/4" foot valve
• Two male 1-1/4" PVC adapters
• Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to pump
• One 4" well seal with vent plug
• One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT. A SINGLE PINHOLE
LEAK WILL PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD
COMPOUND ON ALL THREADED CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.
1. Thread 1-1/4" male PVC
adapter into foot valve. Hand
tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn
with crescent wrench.
2. Subtract four feet from the depth
of your well (see page 2 "Finding
the Depth of Your Well"). This is
the total length of rigid PVC pipe
and couplings to cement onto
the 1-1/4" male PVC adapter.
Cement one section of rigid PVC
pipe to the PVC adapter which is
connected to the foot valve, then
lower the whole assembly into the
well, foot valve first. Firmly clamp
the end of the rigid PVC pipe
with a pipe clamp to prevent the
assembly from sliding down into the well.

3. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe as it
