Well Installation
Driven Wells
1. Drive the well point into the ground.
• Refer to the well point manufacturer's instructions.
• Ensure the well point is deep enough to bore through the water bearing formation below the
water table but does not exceed 25 feet of depth.
• If an individual well point does not supply enough water, consider a multi-point installation.
2. Install enough piping to reach the water source and leave 1 foot (30 cm) of protruding pipe.
• The rise pipe should be galvanized in approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) sections.
3. Attach a 1¼-inch 90° elbow to the end of each pipe.
4. Attach a 1¼-inch check valve to the 1¼-inch galvanized nipple.
5. Attach a 1¼-inch male PVC adapter to the 1¼-inch check valve.
Drilled Wells
1. Find the total length needed for 1¼-inch PVC pipe and coupling(s).
• Measure the distance from the top to bottom of the well and subtract 5 feet.
2. Assemble the foot valve, 1¼-inch male PVC adapter, and well piping.
IMPORTANT: Ensure any burrs or shavings from cutting the pipes are completely removed to pre-
vent damage to the pump.
3. Firmly clamp the unfinished pipe end with a pipe clamp 1 foot (30 cm) from the top of the pipe.
4. Lower the foot valve end of the piping assembly into the well.
5. Install the well seal and a well vent tube.
• Ensure the foot valve is suspended 4 ft from the well bottom.
• The 1¼-inch pipe should extend 1 foot (30 cm) above the seal.
• The 1-inch pipe should extend 10 inches (25 cm) above the seal.
6. Attach a 1¼-inch 90° elbow to the end of each pipe.
Pump Location
• Install the pump indoors in a clean, dry, and ventilated location shielded from direct sun and precip-
itation.
• Provide adequate room for future servicing, protection from freezing temperatures, flooding, and
equipment drainage.
• Bolt unit down evenly on a good foundation, preferably concrete, to prevent unnecessary stresses
from pump movement.
• Install as close as possible to water source to minimize suction piping length.
• Keep motor-operating area as dry as possible.
