Replacing an Existing Pump 4

DEEP WELL

I_WARNINGIHazardous 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).

Figure l: install Control Valve and Gauge

If your old pump has the suction pipe (the larger port

- see Figure 2) 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).

Piping omitted

for clarity

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 or 29660.

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.
