Step 3. Place the jet pump on a level, solid foundation. If
you are also replacing the existing pressure tank, refer to
Section 7 in this manual.
Step 4. Connect the suction pipe, the service line, and if
necessary, the air volume control line. Use either non-toxic
pipe sealing compound or tape on male thread joints of
galvanized pipe (tape or cement on plastic pipe) to facilitate
making air tight joints.
Step 5. Wire the motor.
The Red Jacket convertible jet pump is wired to the pressure
switch. The pressure switch must be grounded in compliance
with the National Electrical Code and state and local codes
and ordinances. It is mandatory that a ground connection be
made using a conductor or appropriate metal underground
water pipe or a ground lead in the service panel.
Direct wiring instructions can be found by following the wir-
ing instructions on the inside cover of your pressure switch.

Step 6. Prime the pump.
A. Remove top priming plug.
B.
Open faucets on downstream side of the pressure
tank so air can be purged from the system while prim-
ing.
C. Pour water into the pump case until it flows freely out
of the priming hole without air bubbles.
D. Replace priming plug, leaving the plug loose enough
to allow the air in the case to bleed off. Turn power
on. Start pump. Water should be pumped in a few
minutes depending on depth to water and horizontal
piping length.
E.
After water is pumped, close faucets. Sufficient pres-
sure should build up and shut the pump off.
Step 7. Disinfect the well using a cup of household bleach.
Let the water stand for 3 to 4 hours. Test it for purity with the
local Health Department before using.
Step 8. To assure continued primability, tighten all plugs to
prevent air leaks.
