Use and Care Manual

Deep Well Installation (continued)

Removing the elbow insert from

the pump body

Connecting the pressure gauge

to the elbow insert hole

 Pull out the pressure tube from the 90° elbow insert.

 Unthread and remove the elbow insert from the pump body.

 Wrap the threads of the 1/4 in. pressure gauge (included) with

thread tape and thread it in the elbow insert hole.

 Cut off the expanded portion of the pressure tube.

Priming the pipe & pump

Connecting the pressure

regulator to the pump

 Fill the pipe with water until water overflows. Replace the plug

back to the tee.

 Fill the pump with water until water overflows.

NOTE: It may take several minutes to fill the pipes and the

pump completely.

NOTE: If the pump does not hold its prime, inspect all pipes

and connections for leaks, and repair the leaks.

 Wrap thread tape around the threads of a 1 in. pressure regulator

(E).

 Using a pipe wrench, thread the 1 in. pressure regulator (E) into

the top of the pump.

NOTE: This pressure regulator is a normally-closed valve

installed at the discharge of the pump to provide an obstruction

to flow and thereby regulate the pump pressure and provide

back pressure for the ejector. Failure to use this item may result

in a loss of prime and/or a low pressure.
