DEEP WELL
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Can shock, burn or kill.
Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.
1.
Drain and remove the old pump. Check pipe for scale, lime,
rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2.
Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body.
3.
If your old pump has the suction pipe (the larger port – see
Figure 2) below the drive port, you will need to install flexible
pipe between the well head and the pump so that the
connection will be correct.
NOTE: Your old ejector (in the well) may not be properly
matched to your new pump. If the pump does not perform
properly, we recommend that you install Flotec ejector kit
FP4800.
4.
Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe joints
in the suction pipe are air-tight as well as water tight. If the
suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull
water from the well.
5.
Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing
connections do not put a strain on the pump body. Support the
pipe so that the pump body does not take the weight of piping
or fittings.
You have just completed the well plumbing for your new deep
well jet pump. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank
connections.
SHALLOW WELL
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill.
Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.
1.
Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for scale,
lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2.
Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body.
3.
Install ejector kit FP4855 with a Series 4200, or kit FP4875
with a Series 4300 pump (kits are sold separately). Follow the
instructions provided with the kit. Be sure to align the venturi
with the top hole on the front of the pump.
NOTE: Always replace the ejector when replacing the pump in
a shallow well installation.
4.
Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe joints
in the suction pipe are air-tight as well as water tight. If the
suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull
water from the well.
5.
Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing
connections do not put a strain on the pump body. Support the
pipe so that the pump body does not take the weight of piping
or fittings.
