Process C. 1. Install a shallow well pump
(2205C, 2207C, 2210C)
Draining For Servicing or For Winter
The pump should be drained before it is disconnected for
servicing or if it is in danger of freezing. To drain:
* Remove drain plug from bottom of pump case.
. Remove discharge tee to vent the pump.
. Drain all piping to a point 3 feet (1 meter) below
ground [eve[.
For wells 25 feet or less in depth, the 1/2 HP 2205C, 3/4 HP
2207C and 1 HP 2210C pumps are recommended. However,
the 1/2 HP 3205C, 3/4 HP 3207C, and 1 HP 3210C convertible
pumps may be adapted to shallow wells with an ejector kit.
General MateriaJs Required
. One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)
. One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)
. One 1-1/4" footva[ve
. Two male 1-1/4" PVC adapters
. Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of we[[ to pump
. One we[[ sea[ with vent plug
. One 1-1/4" PVC elbow
* One discharge tee
* One pressure gauge
* One male 1" PVC adapter
. Enough rigid 1" PVC pipe to reach from pump to pressure
tank to service line
. One female 1" PVC adapter
. One 1" tank cross (for diaphragm tanks)
Two 1/4" plugs
. One 1/2" drain cock
. One 10"x 1" nipple
In addltion to General Materials, for the 3205C, 3207C,
or 3210C Convertible only
One ejector kit; includes ejector, venturi tube, gasket, bolts,
plug, tubing, and fittings.
Tools needed for all pump installations
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screwdriver,
24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file.
Reminder: All joints and connections must be airtight. A single pinhole [oak will prevent the
proper operation of the pump. Use thread compound on all threaded connections unless
specified otherwise.
1. Thread 1-1/4" male PVC
adapter into foot valve. Hand
tighten, then tighten 1/4 turn
with crescent wrench. Seal
the threaded pipe joints with
iTeflon i.,, tape or Teflon i_,
based pipe joint compound
approved for use on PVC.

2.
Subtract five feet from the depth of
your well (see page 2 "Determine
the Depth of Y0ur Well"). This is
the total length of rigid PVC pipe
and couplings to cement onto the
1-1/4" male PVC adapter. Cement
one section of rigid PVC pipe to the
PVC adapter which is connected
to the foot valve, then lower the
whole assembly into the well, foot
valve first. Firmly clamp the end
of the rigid PVC pipe with a pipe
clamp to prevent the assembly
from sliding down into the well.

3. Cement as many couplings and
sections of rigid PVC pipe as it
takes to equal the depth of your
we[[ minus five feet, then firmly
clamp the assembly with a pipe
clamp to prevent the assembly
from sliding down into the we[[.
