INSTALLATION & OPERATION
18. 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. If the cut in pressure
is 30 PSI, then the correct tank pre-charge is 28 PSI. If the
cut in pressure is 20 PSI, then the correct tank pre-charge
is 18 PSI. Total installation should look like the shallow well
drawing below.
19. 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 pressure
to build. If pressure fails to
build within five 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 operating depth 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
One drive cap
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 drive the point 5-10 feet below the water table 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.
3.
Thread 1-1/4" galvanized nipple into the 1-1/4" galvanized
7164 0117
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 6–19 in Shallow Well instructions. Total
installation should look like the drawing below.
