Physical Installation
Refer to “Typical Installation” on page 2 .
1. Confirm that the motor’s lead wires are secure under the pump’s lead guard.
2. Install a pressure tank per manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Attach a 3/16” diameter to 1/4” diameter steel safety cable to pump.
IMPORTANT: If using a different type of cable, confirm the system weight does not exceed the
limit.
4. Attach schedule 40 galvanized pipes to pump for installations up to 600 ft (180m).
• For deeper settings, use schedule 40 pipe for the bottom 600 feet (180m) and schedule 80 for
the remainder.
• If using plastic pipe, refer to manufacturer’s recommendations for depth and pressure.
• Keep pipes clean and free from debris and use pipe sealant on all fittings.
5. Install system check valves.
IMPORTANT: Install only positive sealing check valves. Never use swing type check valves.
• For installations more than 100 ft (60m), install check valves in the drop pipe at intervals of 100
ft (60m) or as specified by the manufacturer.
• Install an inline check valve in the discharge line within 25 ft of the pump and below the draw-
down level of the water supply.
• If permitted by local codes, install a relief valve between the wellhead and the pressure tank.
• 4" submersible pumps with a 1-1/4" or 2”discharge contain a spring-loaded removable poppet
style check valve assembly. Refer to “Maintenance” on page 5 to remove valve for drain back.
6. Install a torque arrestor just above the pump.
7. Fasten the electrical cable to the drop pipe with clamps or appropriate tape every 10 ft (3m).
• Take care not to scrape or pinch the cable against the well casing.
• Keep the cable slack when using plastic drop pipe to allow for stretching.
• Use an ohmmeter or megger to make insulation and continuity checks.
8. Lower pump at least 5 ft (1.5m) from bottom of well and above well screen or casing perforations.
9. Test the well. Refer to
“Well Test” on page 4 .
10. Place a sanitary well seal or pit-less adapter over top of well per manufacturer’s recommendations.
Well Test
1. Install a partially opened gate valve on the end of the pipe.
2. Start the pump and slowly open valve to full flow.
3. If the discharge water is not clear within 30 minutes, stop pump and take necessary steps to correct.
4. Close valve until maximum required system flow rate is obtained.
5. Ensure the pump output is not greater than the yield of the well (low-yielding) by monitoring the
well draw-down level at the maximum system flow rate.
• Refer to
“Low-Yielding Well” on page 5 to correct issue.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Never run pump unless it is completely submerged in water to avoid pump and motor damage
• Air drawn into the pump can cause an airlock under certain conditions.
