INSTALLATION

Replacing An Existing Pump

DEEP WELL

Hazardous 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.

If your old pump has the suction pipe (the larger port –
See Figure 1) 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 2).

NOTE:

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 a Berkeley ejector
package to match your pump and well.
3.

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.

4.

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.

SHALLOW WELL

Hazardous voltage.

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 Berkeley ejector kit Model BK4875 (kits are sold
separately). Follow the instructions provided with the kit.
Be sure to align the venturi with the top hole on the front
of the pump (See Figure 3).

NOTE:

Always replace the ejector when replacing the pump

in a shallow well installation. 
3.

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.
