How do I install a submersible well pump?
The following steps are basic installation procedures for installing a submersible well pump.
Additional detailed instructions are located at www.waterace.com. Reminder:
connections must be airtight. A single pinhole leak will prevent the proper operation of the pump.
Use thread compound on all threaded connections unless specified otherwise.
Process A: Steps 1 through 5, At The Pump
STEP
1
Turn off power at electrical control box. The
pump assembly must be assembled on the
ground before lowering into the well. Lay out
all necessary materials near the well. Thread
1-1/4" male barbed adapter into top of pump.
Do not use thread compound or Teflon tape on
pump discharge.
STEP
2
Subtract twelve feet from the depth of well (see
page 1,"Knowing the Depth of Your Well"). This
is the total length of polytubing needed to clamp
onto the1-1/4" male barbed adapter. Slide two
hose clamps and the two hose clamps packed
with torque arrestor over end of polytubing.
Clamp polytubing onto barbed end of 1-1/4"
male adapter with two hose clamps.
STEP
3
Slide one black shrink tube over each wire coming
out of the pump (see figure A) and determine the
length of wire needed to reach from the pump to
the power supply. Crimp this length of wire onto
each of the wires coming out of the pump (see
figure B). Slide one shrink tube over crimped
joint. Apply heat with torch or butane lighter.
Heat one tube at a time (see figure C). Do not let
tubes touch each other while heating. When liquid
oozes from end of tube, seal is complete. See
"Cable Splice Check"on page 6 to check for leaks.
STEP
4
Determine length of rope needed to reach from
well cap to loop at top of pump(see figure D). Tie
one end of rope to pump loop and the other to
well cap. This is your only security against losing
the pump down the well. Tape wires securely to
polytubing every five feet with plastic tape (see
figure E). Tape safety rope every ten feet then
firmly clamp the torque arrestor to polytubing
about four inches above pump (see figure F).
