You have just completed the suction piping for your new shallow well jet pump. Please go discharge pipe and tank
connections.
Installation for Surface Water
Caution: Possible contamination. Do not use surface water for drinking.
1. Install the pressure gauge in the pump body.
2. The pump should be installed as close to the water as possible, with the fewest possible fittings (especially elbows) in the
suction pipe. The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump.
3. Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe. Make sure that the foot
valve works freely. Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or a
PTFE-based pipe joint compound on threaded pipe joints. Protect the
foot valve assembly from fish, trash, etc, by installing a screen around
it.
4. Lower the pipe into the water until the strainer is five feet above the
bottom. It should also be at least 10 feet below the water level in order
to prevent the pump from sucking air.
5. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump.
Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it
doesn't strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from
the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air
lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape or a PTFE-based pipe joint compound. Joints must be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the
pump cannot pull water from the well.
You have just completed the plumbing for your new shallow well jet pump. Please go to discharge pipe and tank
connections.
Discharge Pipe and Pressure Tank Connections
Standard Tank Connection
1. Install a close nipple and a tee in the pump discharge port. Mount are
lief valve in one arm of the tee.
2. Install a second close nipple and tee in the open arm of the first tee.
Put a priming plug in one arm of the second tee.
3. Run a pipe from the open arm of the second tee to the inlet port of your
tank. The pipe size must be at least as large as the pump discharge port.
4. Remove the 1/8" NPT pipe plug from the pump Air Volume
Control(AVC) port. Run tubing from the pump's AVC port to the port on
the AVC mounted on the tank. See instructions provided with tank and
AVC for details.
You have just completed the tank connection for your jet pump. Please
go to electrical hookup.
