1. Confirm the motor's lead wires are secure under the pump's lead guard.
2. Install a pressure tank per manufacturer's recommendations.
3. Attach a 3/16" diameter to 1/4" diameter steel safety cable to pump.
IMPORTANT: If using a different type of cable, confirm the system weight does not exceed the
limit.
4. Attach schedule 40 galvanized pipes to pump for installations up to 600 ft (180 m).
• For deeper settings, use schedule 40 pipe for the bottom 600 feet (180 m) and schedule 80 for
the remainder.
• If using plastic pipe, refer to manufacturer's recommendations for depth and pressure.
• Keep pipes clean and free from debris and use pipe sealant on all fittings.
5. Install system check valves.
IMPORTANT: Install only positive sealing check valves. Never use swing type check valves.
• For installations more than 100 ft (60 m), install check valves in the drop pipe at intervals of
100 ft (60 m) or as specified by the manufacturer.
• Install an in-line check valve in the discharge line within 25 ft (7.6 m) of the pump and below the
draw-down level of the water supply.
• If permitted by local codes, install a relief valve between the wellhead and the pressure tank.
• 4" submersible pumps with a 1-1/4" or 2"discharge contain a spring-loaded removable poppet
style check valve assembly. Refer to
6. Install a torque arrestor just above the pump.
7. Fasten the electrical cable to the drop pipe with clamps or appropriate tape every 10 ft (3 m).
• Take care not to scrape or pinch the cable against the well casing.
• Keep the cable slack when using plastic drop pipe to allow for stretching.
• Use an ohmmeter or megger to make insulation and continuity checks.
8. Lower pump at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from bottom of well and above well screen or casing perforations.
9. Test the well. Refer to
10. Place a sanitary well seal or pit-less adapter over top of well per manufacturer's recommendations.
