PUMP INSTALLATION

NOTICE: Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape for making all threaded
connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint compounds on
plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in the pump components.
Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as
water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to
pull water from the well.

1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation.
2. Support all piping connected to the pump.
3. Wrap 1-1/2 to two layers of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape clockwise (as
you face end of pipe) on all male threads being attached to pump.
4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not overtighten.
NOTICE: Install pump as close to well head as poss ible. Long piping runs
and many fittings create friction and reduce flow.
NOTICE: For long horizontal pipe runs, install a priming tee between
check valve and well head as shown in Figure 6. For driven point
installations, install a check valve as shown in Figure 6. Be sure check
