DEDICATED SHALLOW WELL PUMP INSTALLATIONS
REPLACING AN OLD PUMP
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 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 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 ttings.

1. Inspect foot or in line check valve to be sure it
works freely. Inspect strainer to be sure it is clean
and secure.
2. If using foot valve, connect foot valve and
strainer to rst length of suction pipe and lower
pipe into well. Add sections of pipe as needed,
using Teon tape on male threads. Note: use
2” pipe for suction pipe. Be sure all suction
pipe is leak proof or pump will lose prime and fail
to pump. Install foot valve 10 to 20 ft. (3 to 6 m)
below lowest level to which water will drop
while pump is operating (pumping water level).
Your well driller can furnish this information.
3. To prevent sand and sediment from entering
pumping system, foot valve/strainer should be at
least 5 ft. (1.5 m) above bottom of well.
4. When proper depth is reached, install sanitary well
seal over pipe and in well casing. Tighten bolts to
seal casing.
5. When using foot valve, a priming tee and plug are
recommended.

SHALLOW WELL PUMP INSTALLATIONS
Driven Point Installation (Figure 2)
1. Drive the well point, using “drive couplings” and a “drivecap”.
“Drive ttings” are threaded all the way through and allow the
pipe ends to butt against each other so that the driving
force of the maul is carried by the pipe and not by the threads.
The ordinary ttings found in hardware stores are not threaded
all the way through the tting and can collapse under impact.
“Drive ttings” are also smoother than standard plumbing
ttings, making ground penetration easier.
2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
3. Use the fewest possible ttings (especially elbows) when
connecting the pipe from the well point to the pump suction
port. The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction
port on the pump.
4. Install a check as shown.
5. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and pressure gauge
to pump’s discharge port. Connect the pipe from the
well to the pump’s suction port, using the fewest
possible ttings-especially elbows. Fittings increase
friction in the pipe. The suction pipe should be at least
as large as the suction port on the pump. Support
the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe,
so not to strain the pump body, and so that it
slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump
(Note: Not doing so can create air locks preventing
the pump from working properly). Seal the suction
pipe joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or a
PTFE based pipe joint compound. Joints must be air
and water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air,
the pump cannot pull water from well.
6. If one well point does not supply enough water,
consider connecting two or three well points to one
suction pipe.
7. See instructions on page 8 for connecting discharge
pipe to tank.

Surface Water Installation (Figure 3)
Possible contamination. Do not use
surface water for drinking. The installation
shown could be used for sprinkler applications.
1. The pump should be installed as close to the water
as possible, with the fewest possible ttings (especially
elbows) in the suction pipe. The suction pipe should
be at least as large as the suction port on the pump.
2. Assemble a foot valve and strainer to the suction pipe.
Make sure that the foot valve works freely. Use PTFE
pipe thread sealant tape or a PTFE-based pipe joint
compound on threaded pipe joints.
3. Install a screen to protect the water system from letting
debris enter the system.
4. Lower the pipe into the water until the strainer is ve
feet above the bottom. It should also be at least 10”
below the water level in order to prevent the pump
from sucking air. Strainer and pipe should be supported.
5. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and pressure gauge
to pump’s discharge port. Connect the pipe from the
well to the pump’s suction port, using the fewest
possible ttings. Fittings increase friction in the pipe.
The suction pipe should be at least as large as the
suction port on the pump. Support the pipe so that there
are no dips or sags in the pipe, so not to strain the pump
body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the
water to the pump (Note: Not doing so can create air
locks preventing the pump from working properly). Seal
the suction pipe joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant
tape or a PTFE based pipe joint compound. Joints must
be air and water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air,
the pump can not pull water from well.
6. Joints must be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe
can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the
water source.

Preparing the Convertible Jet Pump for Shallow
Well Application
1. Note the nozzle is used in both shallow well and deep
well applications and is installed in the ejector casting at
the factory (Fig. A).
2. The nozzle should be nger tight and one quarter of a
turn more using a wrench or a pair of pliers.
3. Select the venturi tube marked with the horsepower of
your pump motor, i.e. 1/2HP or 3/4HP etc, or marked
with “SW’ denoting for shallow well applications.
4. Install the venturi tube in the ejector housing. (Fig. A)
(Fig. A)
(Fig. B
5. Tighten the venturi tube in the casting nger
tight and one quarter additional turn with
wrench or pair of pliers.
6. Mount the ejector on to the convertible well pump
placing the gasket between the ejector and the
jet pump’s body (Fig. B).
7. Secure the ejector to the
pump body with the bolts
provided with the ejector kit.
8. Ensure the bolts are tight.
9. You have now completed
assembling the convertible jet
pump for shallow well applications.
10. Install the pump and the balance of the pump
accessories, i.e. tees, gauges, etc by following
instructions associated with gures 1, 2, and 3.
Deep Well Installation (26’ - 75’) (Figure 5)
CONVERTIBLE WELL PUMP INSTALLATIONS
1. Install a pressure regulator control valve along
with pressure gauge, and other ttings (see g. 5).
Mount on pump’s discharge port. Any valve (ball,
gate, etc.) can be used as pressure regulator valve.
Place valve between pump discharge and tee with
gauge.
2. Prepare the ejector.
3. Note the nozzle is installed at the factory in the
ejector body (see g A, page 6).
4. Select and install the venturi tube marked with a
DW. DW denotes deep well. Install as described
above. (see g.A, page 6)
5. Install a short pipe nipple and foot valve to the in
take end of the ejector to ensure the pipes do not
lose water and remain primed when the jet pump’s
motor is o.
6. Using the proper pipe for each port in the ejector,
install pipe on the ejector (Figure 5) and
begin lowering it into the water source.
7. Note the pipes will be two dierent sizes to
optimize the jet pump’s performance. One pipe
will be 1” and the other will be 1-1/4” in diameter.
8. Attach the opposite ends of the pipes to the intake
ports of the jet pump (see Figure4).
9. Install a sanitary well seal and connect the
ejector piping to the pump. Use steel nipples
through the well seal with exible poly pipe to
avoid crushing the plastic pipe when tightening
the seal.
10. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags
in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body
and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well
to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets
which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction
pipe joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or
a PTFE-based pipe joint compound. Joints must
be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck
air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.
11. You are now ready to prime the pump per
instructions on page 10.
12. See instructions on page 8 for connecting
discharge pipe to tank.

DISCHARGE PIPE AND PRESSURE TANK CONNECTIONS
Connecting Pump Discharge to Pre-Charged
Tank Connections (Figure 5)
1. Install tee in the pump discharge port. The pipe
size must be at least as large as the discharge port.
2. Run a pipe from one arm of the tee in the pump’s
discharge port to the end of the tee installed in the
pre-charged tank.
3. Connect the other end of the tank tee to your
plumbing system.
4. Cap the remaining openings in the tees with a
threaded plugs, a pressure gauge or pressure control
valve.
5. Check the air pressure in the tank using an ordinary tire
gauge. The air pressure should be 2 PSI less than the
cut in setting of the pump’s pressure switch. The
pre-charge tank’s pressure is measured when
there is no water in the tank. For example, if your pump
has a 30/50 PSI pressure switch, your pump will turn
on when the pressure in the line drops to 30 PSI (cut
in pressure) and will turn o when the pressure in the
line increases to 50 PSI (cut out pressure). The air pres
sure in the tank should be set at 28 PSI, (30-2)
6. Fill pump body with water.
7. Go to Electrical section.
Connecting Pump Discharge to Standard Tank
(Figure 6)
1. Install tee in the pump discharge port.
2. Run a pipe from one arm of the tee installed in the
pump’s discharge port to the end of the tee installed in
the tank.
3. Connect the other end of the tank tee to your plumbing
4. Install in another opening of the pump tees a reducer
bushing down to 1/8” barb tting in the tee.
Run tubing from the tee to the port on the Air Volume
Control (AVC) mounted on the tank.
5. Cap the remaining openings with a threaded plug,
pressure gauge and pressure control valve.
6. Seal all joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape
or a PTFE-based pipe joint compound. See instructions
provided with the tank and the AVC for details.
7. Pour water in the pump.
8. Go to Electrical section.
Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape or PTFE-based
joint compounds 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.

Wiring
Risk of electric shock.
Can shock, burn or kill.
1. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF
power to circuit before working on electrical
connections.
2. Ground motor before connecting to electrical power
supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock hazard.
3. Supply voltage must be within +/- 10% of nameplate
voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause re or damage
motor and voids warranty. If in doubt consult a
licensed electrician.
4. Use wire size specied in Wiring Chart (below). If
possible, connect pump to a separate branch circuit
with no other appliances on it.
5. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
6. Wire motor according to diagram on motor nameplate.
If nameplate diagram diers from diagrams above,
follow nameplate diagram.
7. If this procedure or the wiring diagrams are
confusing, consult a licensed electrician.

Hazardous Pressure,
Install pressure relief valve in discharge pipe.
Release all pressure on system before working on any component.
OPERATION
remove the ll plugs, and rell the pump and piping.
You may have to repeat this two or three times in order
to get all the trapped air out of the piping.
6. When water pressure has built up and is maintained
by the pump, slowly close the pressure regulator control
valve while watching the pressure gauge needle.
Continue closing the valve until you see the pressure
gauge needle start to utter. If the needle starts to
utter, slowly open the valve just enough to stop the
utter. Your pump is now operating at peak eciency.
7. Close all open faucets. After the pump has built up
pressure in the system and shut o, check the
pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two
and running enough water out to bleed o pressure
until the pump starts. If your jet has a 30/50 pressure
switch, the pump should start when the pressure
drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure reaches 50
PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles
to verify correct operation. This will also help clean the
system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
Winterizing
1. Turn o power and open faucets to relieve system
pressure.
2. Drain pump of all winter and leave drain plug out
until restarting pump
Risk of burns. Never run pump dry. Run-
ning pump without water may cause pump to overheat,
damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons
handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.
Be sure the pump is full of water before
starting the motor.
Risk of explosion and scalding. Never run
pump against closed discharge. To do so can boil water
inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of
explosion and possible scalding persons handling pump.
1. Open the faucet of control valve as far as possible. Then
remove the priming plug from the pump and ll the pump,
ll all piping between the pump and the well, and make
sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have also
installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove
the plug from the tee and ll the suction piping.
2. Replace all ll plugs. Leave the control valve open (in
a shallow well installation, the control valve always
stays open).
3. Turn electric power on.
4. Start the pump. The pump should pump water in two
or three minutes.
5. If you don’t have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop the
pump and remove the ll plugs. Rell the pump and
piping. You may have to repeat this two or three times
in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. The
control valve remains open throughout this procedure.
6. As pump begins to build pressure, close faucet. Pump
should continue to build pressure until pressure switch
shuts it o. Check the pressure switch operation by
opening a faucet or two and running enough water out
to bleed o pressure until the pump starts. If your jet
has a 30/50 pressure switch, the pump should start
when the pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pres-
sure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two
complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will
also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged
during installation.

pressure gauge, check air pressure in tank at valve stem located on the tank.
If less than pressure switch cut in setting (30-50 PSI), pump air into tank from
outside source until air pressure is 2 PSI less than cut-in setting of switch.
Check air valve for leaks (use soapy solution) and replace core if necessary.
When pump has picked up prime, it should pump solid water with no air.
Suction pipe is sucking air. Check joints for leaks with shaving cream.
Consult contractor about installing a sleeve in the well.
Lower foot valve if possible, otherwise restrict pump discharge.

Starting switch is defective
Wires at motor are loose, disconnected, or wired
incorrectly
Motor is wired incorrectly
Voltage is too low
Pump cycles too frequently
Pump in new installa tion did not prime due to:
1. Pipes were not filled with water
2. Air leaks
3. Leaking foot valve or check valve
Pump has lost prime through:
1. Air leaks
2. Water level below suction pipe inlet
3. Faulty check or foot valve.
Foot valve or strainer is plugged
Ejector or impeller is plugged
Check valve or foot valve is stuck shut
Pipes are frozen
Foot valve and/or strainer are buried in sand or mud
Water level is too low for shallow well setup to
deliver water

Retain Original Purchase Receipt for Warranty Eligibility
Limited Warranty
Manufacturer warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) that its products are free from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the original consumer purchase. If, within
twelve (12) months from the original consumer purchase, any such product shall prove to be defective, it shall be repaired
or replaced at manufacturer’s option, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Note that this limited warranty
applies to manufacturing defects only and not to ordinary wear and tear. All mechanical devices need periodic parts and
service to perform well. This limited warranty does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted the life of a part or
the equipment.
The original purchase receipt and product warranty information label are required to determine warranty eligibility. Eligibil-
ity is based on purchase date or original product – not the date of replacement under warranty. The warranty is limited to
repair or replacement of original purchased product only, not replacement product (i.e. one warranty replacement allowed
per purchase).
Purchaser pays all removal, installation, labor, shipping, and incidental charges.
Claims made under this warranty shall be made by contacting and returning the product to the factory immediately after
the discovery or any alleged defect. Manufacturer will subsequently take corrective action as promptly as reasonably pos-
sible. No requests for service will be accepted if received more than 30 days after the warranty expires. Warranty is not
transferable and does not apply to products used in commercial/rental applications.
General Terms and Conditions; Limitations of Remedies
You must pay all labor and shipping charges necessary to replace product covered by this warranty. This warranty does
not apply to the following: (1) acts of God; (2) products which, in manufacturer’s sole judgment, have been subject to
negligence, abuse, accident, misapplication, tampering, or alteration; (3) failures due to improper installation, operation,
maintenance or storage; (4) atypical or unapproved application, use or service; (5) failures caused by corrosion, rust or
other foreign materials in the system, or operation at pressures in excess of recommended maximums.
This warranty sets forth manufacturer’s sole obligation and purchaser’s exclusive remedy for defective products.
MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS
AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND
BEYOND THE DURATION PROVIDED HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives You specic legal
rights and You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
