Pre-Installation
Application
This unit is a single stage jet pump designed for shallow water well applications, where the water level is less than 25 ft. deep. If the water level to the pump is deeper than 25 ft., a convertible jet pump or a deep well submersible pump should be used. A pressure switch pre-set at 30 Psi "on", 50 Psi "off" has been installed on the pump. The pressure switch will automatically turn the pump on and off based on the system pressure.
Tools Required
You will need the following tools:
- Flathead Screwdriver
- Phillips Screwdriver
- Wrench
- PVC Cement
- Safety Goggles
- Tape Measure
- Thread Tape
- PVC Primer
Package Contents
The package should contain:
- Pump (Part A or B)
- Pressure Gauge (Part C)
Determine The Depth Of Your Well
To determine the depth of your well:
- Tie a small, heavy weight (like a fishing weight) to the end of a cotton string.
- Lower the weight into the well until it reaches the bottom.
- Mark the string at ground level.
- Pull the weight out and measure from the bottom of the weight to the ground level mark. This is the depth of your well.
- Subtract 5 ft. from the well depth.
- If this number is less than 25 ft., a shallow well installation is appropriate.
- If this number is between 25 ft. and 70 ft., a deep well installation might be suitable.
- If this number is over 70 ft., a deep well submersible pump is recommended.
- Measure from the ground level mark to the mark where the cotton string is wetted. This indicates your well's water level.
- Ensure the water level is at least 10 ft. below the well's water level while the pump is running to prevent air suction due to water level drawdown.
Location Of The Pump
Choose a location for the pump with adequate space for future maintenance. It can be in the basement, utility room, crawl space, at the well, or between the house and the well. If installed outdoors, protect it from freezing with a heated pump house. Protect the pump from flooding and excess moisture. Use a well seal for sanitary reasons. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
Tanks - Pre-Charged Storage
For optimal performance, use a diaphragm pressure tank (sold separately). A pre-charged tank has a flexible bladder or diaphragm that separates compressed air from water, preventing air absorption and allowing for higher pressures. This provides more usable water than conventional tanks.
The pump has a 30/50 Psi pressure switch. The tank should be pre-charged to 28 Psi. Check the tank pressure with a tire gauge. If less than 28 Psi, add air. If over 28 Psi, release air.
Materials Required (Not Included)
The following materials may be needed, depending on your installation:
Additional Items Needed | Size |
---|---|
Foot Valve | 1-1/4 in. |
Priming Tee | 1-1/4 in. |
NPT Plug | 1-1/4 in. |
Coupling | 1-1/4 in. |
PVC Pipe Schedule 80, or PVC Pipe Schedule 40 - Suction Pipe | 1-1/4 in. |
PVC Pipe Schedule 80, or PVC Pipe Schedule 40 - Discharge Pipe | 1 in. |
Coupling | 1 in. |
Threaded Adapter | 1-1/4 in. |
Well Seal | 4 in. |
Flexible PVC Coupling | 1-1/4 in. |
Check Valve | 1-1/4 in. |
Discharge Tee | 1 in. |
Priming Tee | 1 in. |
NPT Plug | 1 in. |
Note: The suction pipe size should not be less than 1-1/4 in. Ensure all joints and connections are airtight. Use thread tape on threaded connections and PVC primer/cement for non-threaded connections. Schedule 40 or 80 pipe is acceptable; check local codes.
A foot valve prevents water from running back into the well and maintains hydraulic pressure. If it leaks, the pump will lose prime.
Installation
Electrical Safety
General Cautions
- [CAUTION] Do not touch an operating motor. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shut-down before handling to avoid burns.
- Doing so will void the warranty.
- Do not allow the pump or any system component to freeze.
- Pump water only with this pump.
- Periodically inspect the pump and system components.
- Wear safety goggles at all times when working on pumps.
- Keep the work area clean, uncluttered, and properly lighted. Store unused tools and equipment properly.
- Keep visitors at a safe distance from work areas.
Shallow Well Jet Pump Installations
- Have a vertical depth between the pump and the water being pumped of 25 ft. or less.
- Have one pipe from the well to the pump case.
- Can be installed in a bored or drilled well, or in a driven well.
Replacing An Old Pump
- Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace if necessary.
- Install the pressure gauge in the pump housing.
- Install the pump in the system. Ensure all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air-tight and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.
- Adjust the pump mounting height so that 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.
You have just completed the well plumbing for your new shallow well jet pump. Refer to pages 10 and 11 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
Well Point (Driven Point) Installation
Handle the well using drive couplings and a drive cap. Drive fittings are threaded all the way through, allowing pipe ends to butt against each other for force transfer through the pipe, not threads. Drive fittings are smoother than standard plumbing fittings for easier ground penetration.
- Install the pressure gauge in the pump housing.
- Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
- Use the fewest possible fittings (especially elbows) when connecting the pipe from the well point to the pump suction port. The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump. Include a check valve as close to the well as possible.
- Support the pipe to prevent dips or sags, which could strain the pump body. Ensure the pipe slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump to avoid air pockets that can air lock the pump.
- Seal suction pipe joints with thread tape. Joints must be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.
- If one well point does not supply enough water, consider connecting two or three well points to one suction pipe.
You have completed the suction piping. Refer to pages 10 and 11 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
Cased Well Installation, 2 In. or Larger Casing
- Install the pressure gauge in the pump housing.
- Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
- Assemble the foot valve, strainer, and well pipe. Ensure the foot valve works freely.
- Lower the pipe into the well until the strainer is 5 ft. above the bottom. It should also be at least 10 ft. below the well's water level while the pump is running to prevent air suction. Install a sanitary well seal.
- Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump. Connect the pipe from the well to the pump suction port, using the fewest possible fittings (especially elbows). The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump. Use thread tape on threaded pipe joints. Support the pipe to prevent dips or sags. Ensure it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump to avoid air pockets. Seal suction pipe joints with thread tape. Joints must be air-tight and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.
You have completed the suction piping. Refer to pages 27 and 28 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
Installation for Surface Water
- Install the pressure gauge in the pump housing.
- Mount the pump as close to the water as possible, using the fewest possible fittings (especially elbows) in the suction pipe. The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump.
- Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe. Ensure the foot valve works freely. Use thread tape on threaded pipe joints. Protect the foot valve assembly from debris by installing a screen around it.
- Lower the pipe into the water until the strainer is 5 ft. above the bottom. It should also be at least 10 ft. below the water level to prevent air suction.
- Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump. Support the pipe to prevent dips or sags. Ensure it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump to avoid air pockets. Seal suction pipe joints with thread tape. Joints must be air-tight and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.
You have completed the suction piping. Refer to pages 27 and 28 for discharge pipe and tank connections.
Discharge Pipe and Pressure Tank Connections
Pre-Charge Tank Connection
- Install two tees in the pump discharge port. Pipe size must be at least as large as the discharge port. (Note: A pre-plumbed pump-on-tank system requires only one tee).
- Run a pipe or reinforced hose from one arm of the first tee to the port on the pre-charged tank.
- Connect the other discharge tee to your plumbing system.
- Check the tank's air pre-charge with a tire gauge. For a 30/50 Psi switch, adjust tank pre-charge to 28 Psi (2 Psi less than the pump's cut-in setting). If the tank is pre-charged less than 28 Psi, add air. If over 28 Psi, bleed air.
Congratulations on completing the tank connection!
Standard Tank Connection
- Install a tee in the pump discharge port.
- Run a pipe from the pump discharge port to the tank inlet port. Pipe size must be at least as large as the discharge port.
- Install a tee with reducing bushings in the suction pipe.
- Install a barbed fitting in the smallest bushing (1/8" NPT).
- Run the AVC tubing from the barbed fitting on the suction pipe tee to the port on the AVG mounted on the tank. Refer to tank and AVG instructions for details.
Congratulations on completing the tank connection!
Electrical Settings
Pressure Switch Assembly Instructions
To complete the installation, connect the power source to the pressure switch. The pump has a 30/50 Psi pressure switch for automatic operation (starts at 30 Psi, stops at 50 Psi).
To wire the pressure switch:
- Remove the pressure switch cover to expose wiring terminals.
- Connect the green ground wire of the power supply to the switch ground terminal.
- Connect the power supply wires to the two outside terminals marked "LINE" and replace the switch cover.

Operation and Maintenance
Priming
To prime the pump:
- Remove the priming plug from the priming tee and fill the pump.
- Fill all piping between the pump and the well, ensuring all well piping is full. If a priming tee was installed in the suction piping, remove its plug and fill the suction piping.
- Replace all fill plugs (use Teflon tape).
- Turn on the pump. If no water appears within 2 minutes, stop the pump, remove fill plugs, and refill. This may need to be repeated several times to remove trapped air. A pump lifting water 25 ft. may take up to 15 minutes to prime.
- After the pump builds pressure and shuts off, check pressure switch operation by opening a faucet to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start at 30 Psi and stop at 50 Psi. Run through a few cycles to verify correct operation and to help clean the system.
Congratulations on a successful installation.
Winterizing The Pump
To prepare the pump for freezing temperatures:
- Shut off power to the pump.
- Relieve system pressure by opening a faucet until water stops flowing.
- Drain the pump. Remove any drain plugs and allow the pump to drain completely. Some water may remain. Leave drain plugs out until ready to re-prime.
