1. Attach foot valve to the end of the suction pipe
and set in the well, making certain the valve is
below the water level. The foot valve should be
at least five (5) feet from the bottom of the well to
prevent sand from being drawn into the system.

3. All piping from the well to the pump should slope
slightly upward with no sagging. Support suction
pipe between water source and pump. Unions in
the suction line near the pump and well will aid in
servicing. Be sure to leave enough room so that
wrenches can be used easily.
2. When connecting a drive point, a check valve
must be used in the suction line in place of a foot
valve. For easy priming, install the check valve as
close to the well as possible.
