No air leaks In
Suction pipe.
If air flows
water won’t
Use PTFE tape.
Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or pipe joint
compound approved for use on PVC.
Figure 4 – Suction Pipe Must Not Leak
Figure 3 – No Air Pockets in Suction Pipe
NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20’ depth to
water.
1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction
and reduce flow. Locate pump as close to well
as possible: use as few elbows and fittings as
possible.
2. Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the
pump and void the warranty.
3. Protect pump and all piping from freezing.
Freezing will split pipe, damage pump and void
the warranty. Check locally for frost protection
requirements (usually pipe must be 12” below frost
line and pump must be insulated).
4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in
good shape.
5. No air pockets in suction pipe.
6. No leaks in suction pipe. Use PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape to seal pipe joints.
7. Unions installed near pump and well will aid in
servicing. Leave room to use wrenches.
8.
Pump body may explode if used
as a booster pump. DO NOT use in a booster
appli cation.
