Replacing an Existing Pump 4
For parts or assistance, call Simer Customer Service at 1-800-468-7867
Deep Well
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to pump before
working on pump or motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check pipe for scale, lime, rust, etc.,
and replace it if necessary.
2. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body (see
Figure 1).
3. If your old pump has the suction pipe (the larger port – see Figure2)
below the drive port, you will need to install flexible pipe between the
well head and the pump so that the connection will be correct. (See
Figure 3).
NOTICE: Your old ejector (in the well) may not be properly matched
to your new pump. If the pump does not perform properly, we
recommend that you install ejector kit FP4800.
4. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe joints in the
suction pipe are air-tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can
suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
5. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing connections do
not put a strain on the pump body. Support the pipe so that the pump
body does not take the weight of piping or fittings.
You have just completed the well plumbing for your new deep well jet
pump. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
Shallow Well
Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to pump before
working on pump or motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for scale, lime,
rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body (see
Figure 1).
3. Install ejector kit FP4855 or kit FP4875 (kits are sold separately). Follow
the instructions provided with the kit. Be sure to align the venturi with
the top hole on the front of the pump (see Figure 4).
NOTICE: Always replace the ejector when replacing the pump in a
shallow well installation.
4. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe joints in the
suction pipe are air-tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can
suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
5. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing connections do
