pump flow at 100 PSI.

Physical Installation

Environmental Requirements

Choose a clean, well-ventilated location that affords protection from freezing, flooding, and excessive heat.
In addition, it should provide access for servicing and allow convenient draining of the pump, tank, and ser-
vice pipes. A prepared foundation is not essential, provided the surface is hard and level. It can be located in
the basement or utility room of your house, at the well, or between the house and the well.
When installing outside of the house, the pump should be protected by a pump house with auxiliary heat to
prevent possible freezing.
A pump performs best when installed close to the well, reducing suction lift and friction losses.
Installation
1. Place the pump/control on a level, solid surface.
2. Plumb the water supply and discharge lines. The supply plumbing line should have proper backflow
prevention measures, such as a check valve or foot valve.
3. A tee fitting is recommended for mounting accessories such as a pressure gauge or a pressure relief
valve.
Refer to the VersaJet Owner's Manual 106537101 or the MH Series Pump Owner's Manual 106592101 for
detailed instructions for mounting accessories.
