Replacing an Existing Pump

DEEP WELL
WARNING Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.

1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check pipe for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.

2. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body (see Figure 1).
   

3. If your old pump has the suction pipe (the larger port – see Figure 2) below the drive port, you will need to install flexible pipe between the well head and the pump so that the connection will be correct. (See Figure 3).
   NOTICE: Your old ejector (in the well) may not be properly matched to your new pump. If the pump does not perform properly, we recommend that you install ejector kit FP4800 or 29660.

4. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air-tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.

5. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the 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 deep well jet pump. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank connections.

SHALLOW WELL
WARNING Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power to pump before working on pump or motor.

1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipe for scale, lime, rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.

2. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body (see Figure 1).

3. Install ejector kit FP4875 or 29650 (kits are sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the kit.
   Be sure to align the venturi with the top hole on the front of the pump (see Figure 4).
   NOTICE: Always replace the ejector when replacing the pump in a shallow well installation.
   

4. Install the pump in the system. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air-tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.

5. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the 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. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank connections.

New Shallow Well Installation

WELL POINT INSTALLATION (Figure 5)

1. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body (see Figure 1).

2. Install ejector kit FP4875 or 29650 (kits are sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the kit.
   Align the venturi with the top hole on the front of the pump (see Figure 4).

3. Drive the well, using “drive couplings” and a “drive cap”. “Drive fittings” are threaded all the way through and allow the pipe ends to butt against each other so that the driving force of the maul is carried by the pipe and not by the threads. The ordinary fittings found in hardware stores are not threaded all the way through the fitting and can collapse under impact. “Drive fittings” are also smoother than standard plumbing fittings, making ground penetration easier.

4. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.

5. 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 – see Figure 5). Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with teflon tape or pipe joint compound approved for use on PVC. 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.

CASED WELL INSTALLATION, 2″ OR LARGER CASING (Figure 6)

1. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body (see Figure 1).

2. Install ejector kit FP4875 or 29650 (kits are sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the kit.
   Align the venturi with the top hole on the front of the pump (see Figure 4).

3. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.

4. Assemble the foot valve, strainer, and well pipe (see Figure 6). Make sure that the foot valve works freely.

5. Lower the pipe into the well until the strainer is five feet above the bottom of the well. It should also be at least 10 feet below the well’s water level while the pump is running in order to prevent the pump from sucking air. Install a sanitary well seal.

6. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump (see Figure 6). Connect the pipe from the well to the pump suction port, using the fewest
   possible fittings – especially elbows – as fittings increase friction in the pipe. The suction pipe should be at least as large as the suction port on the pump. Use teflon tape or a teflon-based pipe joint compound on threaded pipe joints. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with teflon tape or a
   teflon based pipe joint compound. Joints must be air- and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

You have just completed the suction piping for your new shallow well jet pump. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank connections.

INSTALLATION FOR SURFACE WATER

1. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body (see Figure 7).
   

2. Install ejector kit FP4875 or 29650 (kits are sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the kit. Align the venturi with the top hole on the front of the pump (see Figure 8).
   

3. The pump should be installed as close to the water as possible, with 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.

4. Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe (see Figure 9). Make sure that the foot valve works freely. Use teflon tape or a teflon-based pipe joint compound on threaded pipe joints. Protect the foot valve assembly from fish, trash, etc, by installing a screen around it (see Figure 9).
   

5. Lower the pipe into the water until the strainer is five feet above the bottom. It should also be at least 10 feet below the water level in order to prevent the pump from  sucking air.

6. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump (see Figure 9). Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the  pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with teflon tape or a teflon based pipe joint compound. Joints must be air- and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

You have just completed the plumbing for your new shallow well jet pump. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank connections.

New Deep Well Installation

4″ OR LARGER WELL (Figure 10)

1. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body. See Figure 7.

2. Assemble ejector kit FP4800 or 29660 (sold separately). See Figure 10. Follow the instructions included with the kit in order to match the nozzle and venturi to your well
   conditions.
   

3. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.

4. Connect two pipes (1″ drive, 1-1/4″ suction) to the ejector and lower the ejector into the well until it is five feet from the bottom. It should also be at least 10 feet
   below the well’s water level while the pump is running in order to prevent the pump from sucking air.

5. Install a sanitary well seal and connect the ejector piping to the pump. Use steel nipples through the well seal with flexible poly pipe to avoid crushing the plastic pipe when tightening the seal.

6. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with teflon tape or a teflon based pipe joint compound. Joints must be airand water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

You have just completed the plumbing for your new double pipe deep well jet pump. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank connections.

2″ WELL (Figure 11)

1. Install the control valve and pressure gauge in the pump body. See Figure 7.

2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.

3. Assemble ejector kit FP4840 or 29670 (sold separately), well piping, and well head adapter according to the instructions provided with the ejector package. See Figure 11. Use galvanized drop pipe with turned couplings to allow proper flow. Follow the instructions included with the kit in order to match the nozzle and venturi to your well conditions.
   

4. Run two pipes (one smaller drive pipe, one larger suction pipe) from the well to the pump. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it doesn’t strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with teflon tape or a teflon based pipe joint compound. Joints must be airand water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

You have just completed the plumbing for your new single pipe deep well jet pump. Please go to Page 8 for discharge pipe and tank connections.

Discharge Pipe and Pressure Tank Connections

PRE-CHARGE TANK CONNECTION (Figure 12)

1. Install a close nipple and a tee in the pump discharge port (see Figure 12). The pipe size must be at least as large as the discharge port. Run a pipe or reinforced hose from one arm of the tee to the port on the precharged tank.
   2. Install a second close nipple and tee with a relief valve in the tee.
   3. Connect the other end of the second discharge tee to your plumbing system.
   4. Check the pre-charge of air in the tank with an ordinary tire gauge. The pre-charge should be 2 PSI less than the cut-in setting of the pump’s pressure switch. The precharge is measured when there is no water pressure  in thetank.
   Your new pump has a 30/50 PSI switch, so adjust the tank pre-charge pressure to 28 PSI.

You have just completed the tank connection for your jet pump. Please go to Pages 9 and 10 for electrical hookup.

STANDARD TANK CONNECTION (Figure 13)

1. Install a close nipple and a tee in the pump discharge port. Mount a relief valve in one arm of the tee.
2. Install a second close nipple and tee in the open arm of the first tee. Put a priming plug in one arm of the second tee.
3. Run a pipe from the open arm of the second tee to the inlet port of your tank. The pipe size must be at least as large as the pump discharge port.
4. Remove the 1/8″ NPT pipe plug from the pump Air Volume Control (AVC) port (see Figure 13). Run tubing from the pump’s AVC port to the port on the AVC mounted on the tank. See instructions provided with tank and AVC for details.

You have just completed the tank connection for your jet pump. Please go to Pages 9 and 10 for electrical hookup.

Sealing Pipe Joints
Use only Teflon tape or Teflon based joint compounds for making all threaded connections to the pump itself.
Do not use pipe joint compounds on plastic pumps:
they can react with the plastic in pump components. Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump will not be able to pull water from the well.

Electrical

** Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring.
MOTOR SWITCH SETTINGS
NOTE: 1/2 HP motors are wired for 115 volts only, and have no motor wiring to change.
3/4 HP or 1 HP motor terminal boards (located under the motor end cover) should look like the one below.
If the motor can operate at either 115 or 230 volts, it is set at the factory to 230 volts. Do not change motor wiring if line voltage is 230 volts, or if you have a single voltage motor.
CAUTION** Never wire a 115 volt motor to a 230 volt line.

Dial Type Voltage Selector
Voltage is factory set to 230 volts. To change to 115 volts:

1. Make sure power is off.
2. Turn the dial counter-clockwise until 115 shows in the dial window as shown in Figure 15.
3. Attach the incoming power leads to the two outer screws on the pressure switch as shown in Figure 14.
4. Attach the ground wire to the grounding connections as shown in Figure 14.
5. If there are other wires, they should be capped.
6. Reinstall the Motor end cover.

WARNING Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill. Connect ground wire before connecting power supply wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire) specified in the wiring chart.
If possible, connect the pump to a separate branch circuit with no other appliances on it.

WARNING Explosion hazard. Do not ground to a gas supply line.

WIRING CONNECTIONS
WARNING Fire hazard. Incorrect voltage can cause a fire or seriously damage the motor and voids the warranty. The supply voltage must be within ±10% of the motor nameplate voltage.
NOTICE: Dual-voltage motors are factory wired for 230 volts. If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, as shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and with all local codes and ordinances that apply. Consult your local building inspector for code information.

Connection Procedure:
Step 1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure 14. The ground wire must be a solid copper wire at least as large as the power supply wires.
Step 2. There must be a solid metal connection between the pressure switch and the motor for motor grounding protection. If the pressure switch is not connected to the motor, connect the green ground screw in the switch to the green ground screw under the motor end cover. Use a solid copper wire at least as large as the power supply wires.
Step 3. Connect the ground wire to a grounded lead in a service panel, to a metal underground water pipe, to a metal well casing at least ten feet (3M) long, or to a ground electrode provided by the power company or the hydro authority.
Step 4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure switch as shown in Figure 14.

Preparing to Start the Pump – Deep Well

CAUTION Never run pump dry. Running pump with-out water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.

WARNING Never run pump against closed discharge.
To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.

1. Open the control valve as far as possible (see Figure 15). Then remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.

2. Replace all fill plugs and close the control valve completely (Figure 16).

3. Power on! Start the pump and watch the pressure gauge. The pressure should build rapidly to 50 PSI as the pump primes.

4. After 2 or 3 minutes, the gauge should show pressure. If not, stop the pump, remove the fill plugs, reopen the control valve, and refill the pump and piping.
   You may have to repeat this two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. Don’t forget to close the control valve each time before you start the pump.

5. When pressure has built up and stabilized at about 50 PSI, slowly open the control valve (see Figure 17) and let the pressure drop until the pressure gauge needle starts to flutter. When the needle flutters, close the valve just enough to stop the flutter (see Figure 17). Your pump is now operating at its most efficient point.
   

6. After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off, check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.

Congratulations on a successful installation.
If you were unsuccessful, please refer to the Troubleshooting section (Page 13) or call our customer service technical staff.

Preparing to Start the Pump – Shallow Well

CAUTION Never run pump dry. Running pump with- out water may cause pump to overheat, damaging seal and possibly causing burns to persons handling pump. Fill pump with water before starting.

WARNING Never run pump against closed discharge.
To do so can boil water inside pump, causing hazardous pressure in unit, risk of explosion and possibly scalding persons handling pump.

1. Open the control valve as far as possible (see Figure18). Then remove the priming plug from the pump and fill the pump, fill all piping between the pump and the well, and make sure that all piping in the well is full. If you have also installed a priming tee in the suction piping, remove the plug from the tee and fill the suction piping.

2. Replace all fill plugs. Leave the control valve open (in a shallow well installation, the control valve always stays open).

3. Power on! Start the pump. The pump should pump water in two or three minutes.

4. If you don’t have water after 2 or 3 minutes, stop the pump and remove the fill plugs. Refill the pump and piping. You may have to repeat this two or three times in order to get all the trapped air out of the piping. The control valve remains open throughout this procedure.

5. After the pump has built up pressure in the system and shut off, check the pressure switch operation by opening a faucet or two and running enough water out to bleed off pressure until the pump starts. The pump should start when pressure drops to 30 PSI and stop when pressure reaches 50 PSI. Run the pump through one or two complete cycles to verify correct operation. This will also help clean the system of dirt and scale dislodged during installation.
