NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20' depth to
water.
1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction and
reduce flow. Locate pump as close to well as
possible: use as few elbows and fittings as possible.
2. Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the
pump and void the warranty.
3. Protect pump and all piping from freezing. Freezing
will split pipe, damage pump and void the warranty.
Check locally for frost protection requirements
(usually pipe must be 12" below frost line and pump
must be insulated).
4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in
good shape.
5. No air pockets in suction pipe.
6. No leaks in suction pipe. Use Teflon tape or Plasto-
Joint Stik to seal pipe joints.
7. Unions installed near pump and well will aid in
servicing. Leave room to use wrenches.
8. Pump body may explode if used
as a booster pump. DO NOT use in a booster
application.
