WELL POINT PUMP INSTALLATION
Materials needed in addition to Shallow Well General
Materials, for Well Points only
• Enough galvanized 1-1/2" pipe and drive couplings to reach
from operating depth to one foot above ground level
• One 1-1/2" galvanized elbow
• One 1-1/2" galvanized nipple
• One 1-1/2" check valve
• One 1-1/2" male PVC adapter
STEP 1: Drive the well point into the ground according to the
instructions included with well point. Use as much galvanized
pipe and couplings as needed to both to reach water and leave
approximately one foot of pipe protruding from the ground.
STEP 2: Thread 1-1/2" galvanized elbow onto the pipe
protruding from the ground.
STEP 3: Thread 1-1/2" galvanized nipple into the 1-1/2"
galvanized elbow.
STEP 4: Thread 1-1/2" check valve onto the 1-1/2"
galvanized nipple.
STEP 5: Thread 1-1/2" male PVC adapter into the 1-1/2"
check valve.
STEP 6: FOLLOW STEPS 6–13 IN CASED WELL
INSTRUCTIONS. Total installation should look like the drawing
below.
MULTIPLE WELL POINTS
In a well point application, it is very common to combine the
suction of several well points in order to match the higher flow
capability of the pump. When using an inground lawn sprinkler
pump with multiple well points, maintain as equal a distance
between well points as possible. Refer to the illustration below.
Consult with your pump professional for appropriate materials
and installation instructions.
DRAINING FOR SERVICING OR FOR WINTER
The' pump should be drained before it is disconnected for
servicing, or if it is inoperative for an extended period of time,
or if it is in danger of freezing. To drain:
• Remove 1-1/2" pipe plug from discharge tee.
• Remove the 1/4" plug from the lower front of pump.
• Drain all piping to a point 3 feet below ground level.
