Installation
Process C, continued .
17. Cement as many sections and couplings of rigid 1" PVC
pipe needed to connect the 1" male PVC adapter in the
discharge tee to the 1" male adapter on the tank cross inlet.
Set pressure in the pre-charged pressure tank to
2 pounds less than the cut-in pressure of the pump. The
cut-in pressure of these pumps is factory preset to 30 PSI. If
this cut-in setting has not been changed, then the pre-
charged pressure tank should be set to 28 PSI. Total
installation should look like the shallow well drawing
below.
18. TO PRIME, remove plug from
the top of pump case. Fill
piping and pump with water
until the water overflows
from the top of pump case.
Replace plug and tighten to
seal. Install pressure gauge.
Open a faucet or two in the
house. Start motor. If pump
is offset from well 4 feet
or more, it may take a few
minutes for pump to prime.
Failure to prime in 5 minutes: Stop motor, remove
pressure gauge plug from discharge tee, add more
water, try again.

Well Point Pump Installation
Materials needed in addition to Shallow Well General
Materials, for Well Points only
• Enough galvanized 1-1/4" pipe and drive couplings to
reach from bottom of well to one foot above ground level
• One 1-1/4" galvanized elbow
• One 1-1/4" galvanized nipple
• One 1-1/4" check valve
• One 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
STEP 1: Drive the well point into the ground according to
the instructions included with your well point. Use as much
galvanized pipe and as many drive couplings as it takes to
both reach the water and leave approximately one foot of pipe
protruding from the ground.
STEP 2: Thread 1-1/4" galvanized elbow onto the pipe protruding
from the ground. Seal all pipe threads with Teflon™ tape.
STEP 3: Thread 1-1/4" galvanized nipple into the 1-1/4"
galvanized elbow.
STEP 4: Thread 1-1/4" check valve onto the 1-1/4"
galvanized nipple.
STEP 5: Thread 1-1/4" male PVC adapter into the 1-1/4"
check valve.
STEP 6: FOLLOW STEPS 6–18 IN SHALLOW CASED WELL
INSTRUCTIONS. Total installation should look like the drawing
below.
