QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE (

This quick installation guide assumes you will be cutting the existing pump free from the plumbing. For deep well applications the injector assembly and
foot valve needs to be cut from the piping inside the well. More detailed instructions are provided in the Detailed Installation Instructions.

WARNING
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP BEFORE PRIMING IT; THE SEAL AND IMPELLER COULD BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED
!
1. Ensure power has been shut off at the breaker
before proceeding.
2. This pump is dual voltage (115/230 V)! Inspect the voltage
wiring on the pump and ensure it matches the voltage on the
breaker before continuing with the installation.
(See Voltage Wiring Instructions.)
3. Completely relieve pressure from the water system before
working on the water system. Open the faucet nearest the
tank and allow the water to drain until the tank is empty.
4. Disconnect wiring from the pressure switch to the
electrical source.
5. Using a hacksaw or reciprocating saw, cut all PVC piping as close
to the old pump as possible at both the suction and discharge
openings. Ensure the pipe from the well and the pipe from the
tank are clean and free of any pipe shavings or pieces as these
could get into the pump and damage the impeller.
6. Set the new pump in place.
7. Install the injector assembly. Always replace the injector
assembly when you replace the pump. Injector assemblies for
other pumps should not be used as this will reduce your pump's
performance. The injector assembly for shallow well applications
must be attached directly to the pump. The injector assembly for
deep well applications must be installed in the well above the
foot valve. Ensure the correct venturi and nozzle are set-up in the
injector assembly for medium-deep and deep well applications.
(See Convertible Jet Pump Injector Kit instructions supplied
with the injector kit.)
8. Seal the threads on the suction opening on the pump with PTFE
tape or thread compound and insert the 1-1/4" male galvanized
adapter into the suction opening. Tighten securely but do not
over tighten as this could crack the fitting.
9. Attach the 1-1/4" PVC pipe from the well to the male adapter.
(additional fittings may need to be added.) Check to ensure the
joints are airtight. Even a pinhole can prevent proper operation
of the pump.
10. Seal the threads of the discharge opening on the pump with
PTFE tape or thread compound and insert the 1" male PVC
adapter into the discharge opening. Tighten securely but do

not over tighten as this could crack the fitting.
11. Attach the 1" PVC pipe from the tank to the 1" male PVC adapter
(additional fitting may need to be added). Check to ensure the
joints are airtight. Even a pinhole can prevent proper operation
of the pump.
12. If a pressure gauge is supplied with the pump or if you wish to
install a pressure gauge, it should be installed into the 1/4" NPT
hole on the front of the casing directly in front of the priming
port. (See Typical Installations Fig. 9a, 9b, 9c or 9d.)
13. An electrician should be employed to do the wiring and connect
the electrical service to the pump. (See Wiring Instructions.)
14. Prime the pump. (See Priming Instructions.)
15. Verify everything has been completed using the
provided in this manual.
