pipe needed to connect the 1" male PVC adapter in the
17
discharge tee to the 1" male adapter on the tank cross
inlet. Set pressure in the pre-charged pressure tank to
2 pounds less than the cut-in pressure of the pump.
The cut-in pressure of these Water Ace pumps is factory
preset to 30 PSI. If this cut-in setting has not been
changed, then the pre-charged pressure tank should
be set to 28 PSI. Total installation should look like the
shallow well drawing below.
To prime, remove plug

from the top of pump

case. Fill piping and pump
with water until the water
overflows from the top of
pump case. Replace plug
and tighten to seal. Install
pressure gauge. Open a
faucet or two in the house.
Start motor. If pump is
offset from well 4 feet
or more, it may take a few minutes for pump to prime.
Failure to prime in 5 minutes: Stop motor, remove
pressure gauge plug from discharge tee, add more water,
try again.

WELL POINT PUMP INSTALLATION
Materials needed in addition to Shallow Well General
Materials, for Well Points only
• Enough galvanized 1-1/4" pipe and drive couplings to reach
from bottom of well to one foot above ground level
• One 1-1/4" galvanized elbow
• One 1-1/4" galvanized nipple
• One 1-1/4" check valve RCV-12
• One 1-1/4" male PVC adapter
STEP 1: Drive the well point into the ground according to
the instructions included with your well point. Use as much
galvanized pipe and as many drive couplings as it takes to
both reach the water and leave approximately one foot of pipe
protruding from the ground.
STEP 2: Thread 1-1/4" galvanized elbow onto the pipe
protruding from the ground.
STEP 3: Thread 1-1/4" galvanized nipple into the 1-1/4"
galvanized elbow.
STEP 4: Thread 1-1/4" check valve onto the 1-1/4"
galvanized nipple.
STEP 5: Thread 1-1/4" male PVC adapter into the 1-1/4"
check valve.
STEP 6: FOLLOW STEPS 6–18 IN SHALLOW 4" DIAMETER CASED
WELL INSTRUCTIONS. Total installation should look like the
drawing below.
