INSTALLATION

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. If your old pump has the suction pipe (the larger port — See Figure 1) 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 2).
   NOTE: 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 a Berkeley ejector package to match your pump and well.

3. 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.

4. 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.

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 Berkeley ejector kit Model BK4875 (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 3). NOTE: Always replace the ejector when replacing the pump in a shallow well installation.
3. 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.
4. 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.

New Shallow Well, Driven Point Installation (Figure 4)

1. Install Berkeley ejector kit BK4875 (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 3).
2. 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.
3. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
4. 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 4). 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 PTFE pipe thread sealant tape 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 5)

1. Install Berkeley ejector kit BK4875 (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 3).
2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
3. Assemble the foot valve, strainer, and well pipe (See Figure 5). Make sure that the foot valve works freely.
4. 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.
5. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump (See Figure 5). 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 PTFE pipe thread sealant tape 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 PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Joints must be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

INSTALLATION FOR SURFACE WATER

1. Install Berkeley ejector kit BK4875 (sold separately). Follow the instructions provided with the kit. Align the venturi with the top hole on the front of the pump (See Figure 6).
2. 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.
3. Assemble a foot valve and suction pipe (See Figure 7). Make sure that the foot valve works freely. Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on threaded pipe joints. Protect the foot valve assembly from fish, trash, etc, by installing a screen around it (See Figure 7).
4. 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 while the pump is running in order to prevent the pump from sucking air.
5. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump (See Figure 7). 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 PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Joints must be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

New Deep Well
4″ Or Larger Well (Figure 8)

1. Assemble Berkeley ejector kit BK4800 (sold separately). Follow the instructions included with the kit in order to match the nozzle and venturi to your well conditions.
2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
3. 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.
4. Install a sanitary well seal and connect the ejector piping to the pump. Flexible poly pipe is recommended for ease of installation. However, use steel nipples through the well seal as tightening the well seal on plastic pipe can crush the pipe.
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 puma (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Joints must be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

New Deep Well 2″ Well (Figure 9)

1. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
2. Assemble Berkeley ejector kit BK4840 (sold separately), well piping, and well head adapter according to the instructions provided with the ejector package (See Figure 9.) 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.
3. 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 PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Joints must be air and water-tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot pull water from the well.

Discharge Pipe and Pressure Tank Connections
PRE-CHARGE TANK CONNECTION (FIGURE 10)

1. Install a close nipple and a tee in the pump discharge port (See Figure 10). 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 pre-charged 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 pre-charge is measured when there is no water pressure in the tank. Your new pump has a 30/50 psi switch, so adjust the tank pre-charge pressure to 28 psi.

STANDARD TANK CONNECTION (FIGURE 11)

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 11). 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.

Electrical Installation

WARNING: Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring. Your Motor Terminal Board (under the motor end cover) and Pressure Switch look like one of those shown above. Convert to 115 Volts as shown. Do not change motor wiring if line voltage is 230 Volts or if you have a single voltage motor. Connect power supply as shown for your type of switch and your supply voltage.
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 (Page 10). 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.
NOTE: 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 United States 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

1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure 12. The ground wire must be a solid copper wire at least as large as the power supply wires.
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.
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.
4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure switch as shown in Figure 12.

OPERATION

Preparing to Start the Pump – Deep Well
CAUTION: Never run pump dry. Running pump without 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 13). 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 (See Figure 14).
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 15) 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 15). 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.

If you were unsuccessful, please refer to the Troubleshooting section (Page 10) or call our customer service technical staff. Preparing to Start the Pump -Shallow Well
CAUTION: Never run pump dry. Running pump without 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 16). 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.

If you were unsuccessful, please refer to the Troubleshooting section (Page 10) or call our customer service technical staff.

TROUBESHOOTING CHART

circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse has not blown.
DISCONNECT POWER and make sure that wires connecting motor to power supply and pressure switch are tight and correctly connected (see Page 7).
If the remedies above do not solve the problem, call your well professional.
B. Motor runs hot and overload trips.| B. Turn to electrical instructions on Page 7 and verify that motor is correctly wired.
Check with the power company or hydro authority to make sure that the voltage at the pump is within a 10% of the motor’s rated nameplate voltage.
DISCONNECT POWER and make sure that the wires connecting the
motor to the power supply we sized according to Wiring Chart, Page 7. If not, rewire according to the instructions on Page 7.
If the pump is cycling too frequently. see Section E, below.
C. Motor runs but no water is delivered.| C. FIRST, check the prime: that is. make sure that the pump and all the suction piping plus the piping in the well are full of water. If they aren’t, fill them up.
In cold weather, make sure that the pipes and pump are not frozen. If they are, thaw them, watching out for split pipes and fittings as you work. Heat the pump pit or pump house and bury all piping below the frost line.
Other possible causes (call your pump professional if you suspect one of these): Air leaks in the suction line, dropping water level in the well, foot valve stuck or plugged. ejector plugged, impeller plugged, foot valve or strainer stuck in the mud in the bottom of the well, a shallow well pump installed on a well with more than 25 ft depth to water
(in this case a deep well jet pump is needed).
D Pump does not deliver water to full capacity.| D. Possible causes are: the well water level is lower than estimated, making a different nozzle venturi combination necessary; steel piping (if used) is corroded or limed, restricting capacity and increasing friction; or the piping is too small for the installation. Consult your well professional for any of these conditions.
E. Pump cycles too frequently or does not shut off at all.| E. Make sure no faucets have been left open.
If system has a standard tank, make sure it isn’t waterlogged. If it is, drain it down to the level of the air volume control. Make sure the AVC isn’t defective and that there are no leaks at any connections.
If system has a Precharge tank, disconnect power, open all system faucets and bleed all pressure off of tank. Use a tire gauge to check
the air pressure in the tank. This should be lower than the cut-in setting of the pressure switch by 2 PSI (that is, if the pressure switch starts the pump at 30 PSI, the Precharge should be 28 PSI). Check the air valve for leaks (use a soap solution) and replace the core if necessary.
If you suspect any of the following conditions, consult your well professional: leaky pipes, leaky foot valve, water level in the well lower than estimated, clogged ejector or impeller.
F. Air spurts from faucets.| F. Pump may still be printing; when priming is complete all air will have been ejected from the system.
If you suspect leaks in the suction piping, gasses in the well, or that the pump is intermittently over pumping the well (that is, drawing the water level down below the foot valve). consult your well professional.
G. Pump leaks around clamp.| G. Tighten clamp nut 1-2 turns. Do not overtighten.
