Installation
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.
Operation
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
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.
2. Thread 1-1/4" galvanized elbow onto the pipe
protruding from the ground. Seal all pipe threads
with PTFE tape.
3. Thread 1-1/4" galvanized nipple into the 1-1/4"
galvanized elbow.
4. Thread 1-1/4" check valve onto the 1-1/4"
galvanized nipple.
5. Thread 1-1/4" male PVC adapter into the 1-1/4"
check valve.
6. FOLLOW STEPS 6–18 IN SHALLOW CASED WELL
INSTRUCTIONS. Total installation should look like
the drawing below.
