WINTERIzING THE PUMP

To prepare the pump for freezing temperatures:
Step 1. Shut off power to the pump.
Step 2. Relieve system pressure. Open a faucet and let it drain until water
Step 3. Drain the pump. Your pump may have a separate drain plug.

Never run pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil
Never run pump dry. Running pump without water may cause
piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping
in the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the suc-
tion piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.
utes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the pump and
piping. You may have to repeat this several times in order to get all
the trapped air out of the piping. A pump lifting water 25' may take
as long as 15 minutes to prime.
check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two
and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump
starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and
stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or
two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help
clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
stops flowing.
Remove this plug and let it drain.
Your pump may only have a plug or connection on the side of
the pump. Remove this and let the pump drain. Some water will
remain in the pump. A small amount of water left in the pump will
not harm it if it freezes.
