Deep Well Pump Installation
(4" or Larger Diameter
Cased Well)
For weLLs over 25, but not exceeding
70 feet in depth,
the
1 HP ConvertibLe
Deep We[[
Pump is recommended.
However,
the 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP Deep We[[ Pump may also be used for
depths not exceeding
70 feet.
Genera[

•
One 1-1/4" foot valve
•
One 1-1/4" close nipple
•
One ejector
•
One 1" x 5" nipple
•
One 1-1/4" female

•
One 1" PVC elbow
•
Two 1-1/4"
male PVC adapters
•
One 1" x 4" nipple
Reminder:
ALl joints
and connections
must

To Install A Convertible
Jet Pump:
1.
2.
Thread
1-1/4" close nipple
into foot
valve. Thread the other end of 1-1/4"
dose
nipple
into bottom
of deep we[[
ejector.
Hand tighten,
then tighten
1/4 turn with pipe wrench.
The ejector
has two holes in the top
of it. Confirm
nozzle
is installed.
Thread deep well venturi
tube (longer
tube) into larger hole until snug.
Thread
1" x 5" nipple
into smaller
hole. Only
hand tighten
venturi
tube.
Hand tighten
nipple
1/4 turn with
pipe/crescent
wrench.

Thread a 1-1/4"
male PVC adapter
over the venturi
tube and into
ejector. Thread a 1" female
PVC
adapter onto the 1" x 5" nipple.
Hand tighten
adapters
1/4 turn with
pipe/crescent
wrench.
4.
Subtract
five feet from the depth of
your we[[. This is the total length
of PVC pipe and couplings
to
cement
onto both
1-1/4" male and
1" female
PVC adapters.
Cement
a section
of PVC pipe to each
adapter, then lower the whole
assembly
into the we[[, foot valve
first. Firmly
clamp the end of the
PVC pipes with
a pipe clamp to prevent
the assembly
from
sliding
down
into well.
