Step 1. Install the pressure regulator
and pressure gauge in the pump body.
See Figure 4, Page 6.
Step 2. Assemble
the ejector
kit. See Figure 9. Follow the instructions
included
with the kit in order to match the nozzle and venturi
to
your well conditions.
Step 3. Mount
the pump as close to the well as possible.
Step 4. Connect
two pipes (1" drive,
1-1/4" suction)
to the ejector and
lower the ejector
into the well until it is five feet from the bottom.
It should
also be at least 10 feet below the well's
water level while
the pump is running
in order to prevent the pump from sucking
air.
Step 5. Install a sanitary well seal and connect
the ejector
piping
to the
pump.
Use steel nipples through
the well seal with flexible
poly
pipe to avoid crushing
the plastic pipe when tightening
the seal.
Step 6. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it
doesn't
strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly
upward
from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which
can air lock the pump). Seal the pipe joints with Teflon _Mtape or a
Teflon_M-based
pipe joint compound.
Joints must be air- and water-
tight. If the suction
pipe can suck aic the pump cannot
pull water
from the well.
Step 7. Run piping from the discharge tee in the tank flange to the household
piping. The discharge piping
must be at least as large as the tank
tee. Install a relief valve in the discharge pipe capable of passing the
entire pump flow at 75 psi. Run a pipe from the relief valve to a floor
drain or some other convenient
place to carry off the water.
You have just completed
the plumbing
for your new pump.

2" Well
(Figure
I O)
Step 1. Install the pressure regulator
and pressure gauge in the pump body.
See Figure 4, Page 6.
Step 2. Mount
the pump as close to the well as possible.
Step 3. Assemble
ejector
kit, well piping,
and well
head adapter
according
to the instructions
provided
with the ejector package.
See Figure 1 0.
Use galvanized
drop pipe with turned couplings
to allow
proper
flow. Follow
the instructions
included
with the kit in order to match
the nozzle and venturi
to your well conditions.
Step 4. Run two pipes (one smaller drive pipe, one larger suction
pipe)
from the well to the pump.
Support the pipe so that there are no
dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn't
strain the pump body, and so
that it slopes slightly
upward
from the well to the pump (high spots
can cause air pockets which
can air lock the pump). Seal the pipe
joints with Teflon _Mtape or a Teflon_M-based
pipe joint compound.
Joints must be air- and water-tight.
If the suction
pipe can suck aic
the pump cannot
pull water from the well.
Step 5. Run piping from the discharge tee in the tank flange to the household
piping. The discharge piping
must be at least as large as the tank
tee. Install a relief valve in the discharge pipe capable of passing the
entire pump flow at 75 psi. Run a pipe from the relief valve to a floor
drain or some other convenient
place to carry off the water.

NOTE: The ejector kit supplied with your pump tank system will not work
with a 2" well. You must purchase kit part number FPAV2-V2 separately.
