Shallow Well Jet Pump Installations
•
Have a vertical depth of 25' or less.
•
Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.
•
Can be installed in a bored or drilled well, or in a
driven well.
Replacing an Old Pump
Risk of electric shock . Can shock, burn or
kill. Disconnect power to pump before working on pump
or motor.
This pump can replace shallow well jet pumps. This will
require reusing the pressure switch and wiring the pump
to the switch.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe
for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all
pipe joints in the suction pipe are air-tight as well
as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the
pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the
plumbing connections do not put a strain on the
pump body. Support the pipe so that the pump body
does not take the weight of piping or fittings.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or PTFE-based
joint compounds for making all threaded connections
to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds
on plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in
pump components. Make sure that all pipe joints in
the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If
the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be
able to pull water from the well.

Boosting City Water Pressure
Risk of explosion and scalding . Never run
the pump against a closed discharge. To do so can boil
the water inside the pump, causing hazardous pressure
in the pump causing the risk of explosion and possibly
scalding persons nearby. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 - Do Not Run Pump with Outlet Shut Off
When using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use
only a reinforced high pressure hose or pipe for the
discharge line.
When using a garden hose, install adapters to the pump
suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require
two female ends. Either use a standard washing machine
supply hose or modify a short piece of standard 1"
garden hose as a suction line (See Figure 2).
Figure 2 - Hose adapter installation
Risk of explosion . Do not shut off the hose
or the sprinklers while the pump is running. The hose or
sprinkler head may explode.
