Hazardous Pressure,
Install pressure relief valve in discharge pipe.
Release all pressure on system before working on any component.
OPERATION
remove the fill plugs, and refill 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 flutter. If the needle starts to
flutter, slowly open the valve just enough to stop the
flutter. Your pump is now operating at peak efficiency.
7. Close all open faucets. After the pump has built up
pressure in the system and shut off, check the
pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two
and running enough water out to bleed off 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.
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 control valve as far as possible. Then remove
the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill
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 fill the suction piping.
2. Replace all fill 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 fill plugs. Refill 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. After the pump has built up pressure in the system and
shut off, check the pressure switch operation by
opening a faucet or two and running enough water out
to bleed off 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.

Risk of burns. Never run pump dry.

piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction
piping.
2. Replace all plugs.
3. Power on!
4. Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The
pressure should build rapidly to 50 PSI as the pump
primes.
5. Open several faucets in the residence to permit water
flow and to release trapped air. After 2 or 3 minutes, the
gauge should show pressure. If not, stop the pump,
