INSTALLATION & OPERATION
WELL POINT PUMP INSTALLATION
For Well Point application, these materials are needed in
addition to the previous Shallow Well installation's general
materials.
Enough galvanized 1-1/2" pipe and drive couplings to reach
from operating depth to one foot above ground level
One 1-1/2" galvanized elbow
One 1-1/2" galvanized nipple
One 1-1/2" check valve
One 1-1/2" male PVC adapter
1.
Drive the well point into the ground according to the
instructions included with well point. Use as much
galvanized pipe and couplings as needed to both to reach
water and leave approximately one foot of pipe protruding
from the ground.
2.
Thread 1-1/2" galvanized elbow onto the pipe protruding
from the ground.
3.
Thread 1-1/2" galvanized nipple into the 1-1/2" galvanized
elbow.
4.
Thread 1-1/2" check valve onto the 1-1/2"
galvanized nipple.
5.
Thread 1-1/2" male PVC adapter into the 1-1/2"
check valve.
6.
Follow Steps 6–13 in Shallow Well instructions. Total
installation should look like the drawing below.

MULTIPLE WELL POINTS
In a Well Point application, it is very common to combine the
suction of several well points in order to match the higher flow
capability of the pump.
When using an inground lawn sprinkler pump with multiple
well points, maintain as equal a distance between well points
as possible. Refer to the illustration below. Consult with your
pump professional for appropriate materials and installation
instructions.
DRAINING FOR SERVICING OR FOR WINTER
The pump should be drained before it is disconnected for
servicing, or if it is inoperative for an extended period of time,
or if it is in danger of freezing.
To drain:
1.
Remove 1-1/2" pipe plug from discharge tee.
2.
Remove the 1/4" plug from the lower front of pump.
3.
Drain all piping to a point 3 feet below ground level.
