Intake and discharge pipes must be at
5.
least 1” in diameter.
Lay an off-set line from the well to the
6.
structure the pump will be installed in.
The off-set line should slope slightly
towards the well (see Fig. 2). Systems
with longer off-set lines should use larger
diameter pipe to improve efficiency.
Install the pump on a rigid, level, dry
7.
platform. This platform must provide a
solid, level surface that is capable of
supporting the weight of the pump and
attached piping filled with water. Do
not allow water to contact the pump’s
housing.
caution:
DO NOT INSERT fittings into the
Intake Hole farther than 1/2”; this can
DAMAGE the Pump, diminish Pump
functions, and/or STOP water flow.
Keep the Head, the height that the
8.
pump discharge must push water before
discharge, to a minimum. The Vertical
Well Lift, Off-set Line Length, and Head
added together must be less than Max.
Total Head to have flow at output.
Effective flow decreases to 0 GPH as
Total Head reaches its maximum.
For your protection, the power outlet
9.
used should have a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Have it installed by
a qualified electrician. Keep power line
away from water.
The inlet and discharge lines should not
10.
be wedged or stressed in a way that puts
strain on the pump. Do not support the
pump with the inlet and discharge lines.
