3. All piping from the well to the pump should slope
slightly upward with no sagging. Support suction
pipe between water source and pump. Unions in
the suction line near the pump and well will aid in
servicing. Be sure to leave enough room so that
wrenches can be used easily.
Replace foot valve for best performance.
