DANGER: Always disconnect the power source before attempting to install, service or perform maintenance. If the power source is out of sight, lock and tag in the off position to prevent unintended power application. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Drain and remove piping from old pump. Check the piping for rust, scale etc. Replace if necessary.
Install the new pump making sure all pipe connections are air and water tight. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape on all pipe connections. Make sure all piping is properly supported.
NOTE: If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the source.
Use the chart below to determine what gauge wire should be used in installation

CAUTION: Risk Of Fire. Never connect a 230 volt line to a 115 volt motor.
WARNING: All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: Disconnect the power source to the pump before installing or performing service
NOTE: Check Voltage Setting Switch. The voltage switch is factory set for 115 volt service. If you have 115 volt power supply, do not change the voltage switch. The voltage switch is located under the cap on the back of the motor. Remove the two screws that secure the cap to access the switch.
The voltage switch is factory set for 115 volt service.
To change to 230 volt operation slide the voltage switch to "230" volts
CONNECT POWER SUPPLY TO PRESSURE SWITCH
Wiring directions can be found under the pressure switch cover.
| PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSES | HOW TO CORRECT |
|---|---|---|
| If the pump does not start or run | Pump is not plugged in, switch/breaker is off | Plug pump in or turn on switch/breaker |
| Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers or tripped GFCI outlets | Replace fuse, reset breaker, reset GFCI | |
| Wire connections are loose or wired incorrectly | Tighten connections or re-wire following wiring diagram on page 10 | |
| Contacts on pressure switch are dirty or worn | Clean or replace pressure switch | |
| Motor runs hot and thermal overload protector turns pump off | Voltage is too low | Use heavier gauge wire |
| Motor is not properly vented | Make sure there is adequate room for air to circulate around the pump | |
| If the pump runs but moves little or no water | ||
| Loss of prime | Re-prime if necessary. | |
| Air lock in suction line | Make sure horizontal piping between the pump and the well pitches upward towards the pump. Otherwise an airlock may form | |
| Leak in suction line | Check all connections for leaks. Make sure all connections are air tight. | |
| Discharge or suction pipes may be clogged or corroded | Remove clog or replace pipes if necessary | |
| Distance from the pump to the water is greater than 25 feet | Change to a deep well application | |
| Intake screen/foot valve is obstructed | Clean or replace if necessary | |
| Foot valve or check valve is stuck in the closed position | Inspect, repair or replace if necessary | |
| Foot valve or check valve is installed backwards | Make sure valve is installed in the correct direction of flow | |
| Worn, damaged or clogged pump parts (Injector, impeller, diffuser, seal, etc.) | Inspect for wear, damage or clog and clean or replace if necessary | |
| Foot valve is buried in sand or mud | Raise above surface bottom | |
| Water level in the well is too low | Lower suction pipe or convert to deep well application | |
| Well is "dry" or has slow recovery | Move location of well | |
| Pipes are frozen | Thaw pipes, heat pump house or bury pipes below frost line | |
| Pump starts and stops too often | Water logged tank (Standard Tank) | Drain tank and re-prime pump. The air volume control will supply the correct amount of air in the tank |
| Ruptured bladder (Pre-charged Tank) | Replace bladder and/or tank | |
| Incorrect air pressure in tank (Pre-charged Tank) | Add or release air as needed | |
| Leak in pressure tank or system piping | Locate and repair leak | |
| Pressure switch is not properly adjusted | Adjust settings by following instructions under the pressure switch cap | |
| Pump does not shut off | Incorrect pressure switch setting | Lower "cut off" setting. Follow instructions under pressure switch cap |
| Bad pressure switch. Contacts stuck in closed position | Replace switch | |
| Pressure switch tubing clogged | Blow debris from tubing or replace |
