PUMP INSTALLATION

NOTICE: Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint compounds for making
all threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint com-
pounds on the pump: they can react with the plastic in the pump compo-
nents. 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.
Step 1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation.
Step 2. Support all piping connected to the pump.
Step 3. Wrap 1-1/2 to two layers of Teflon tape clockwise (as you face end
of pipe) on all male threads being attached to pump.
Step 4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not overtighten.
NOTICE: Install pump as close to well head as possible. Long piping runs
and many fittings create friction and reduce flow.
NOTICE: For long horizontal pipe runs, install a priming tee between
check valve and well head as shown in Figure 5. For driven point installa-
tions, install a check valve as shown in Figure 6. Be sure check valve flow
arrow points toward pump.
Use schedule 80 or iron pipe. See "Installation" for more information.
