SHALLOW WELL JET PUMP
INSTALLATIONS:
• Have a vertical depth of 25’ or less.
• Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.
• Can be installed in a bored or drilled well, or in a
driven well.
REPLACING AN OLD PUMP
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
kill. Disconnect power to pump before working on
pump or motor.
This pump can replace shallow well jet pump, Model
3825. This will require reusing the pressure switch and
wiring the pump to the switch.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe
for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. 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.
3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumb-
ing 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.
This completes the well plumbing for your new shal-
low well jet pump. Please go to Page 6 for
discharge pipe and tank connections.
BOOSTING CITY WATER PRESSURE
Hazardous pressure. Never run the pump
against a closed discharge. To do so can boil the water
inside the pump, causing hazardous pressure in the
pump causing the risk of explosion and possibly scald-
ing persons nearby. See Figure 1.
When using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use
only a reinforced high pressure hose or pipe for the dis-
charge line.
When using a garden hose, install adapters to the pump
suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require
two female ends. Either use a standard washing machine
supply hose or modify a short piece of standard 1" gar-
den hose as a suction line (See Figure 2).

PERFORMANCE
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon tape for making all threaded
connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe
joint compounds on plastic pumps: they can
react with the plastic in pump components.
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.
