SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

• This pump is meant to be UHd when the vertical lift of water is In than 25 ft. if the well is deeper than that, you need to purchase a deep well convertible jet pump.
• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious personal injury and/or death.
• Always disconnect the pump from its power source before inspection.
• Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating, as the pump may be HOT and can cause serious skin burns.
• Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has NO repairable internal parts, and disassembling may cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.

CAUTION

• The motor MUST NOT be started before the pump is primed!
• This is a dual voltage motor. It can be wired for 230 volts (pre-set) or 115 volts, depending on the power source.
• This pump is equipped with a 30/50 PSI pressure switch. If the previous pump used a different switch, you must reset the tank to 28 PSI. An air compressor may be needed to do this.
• In order for the pump and tank to operate properly, the tank needs to be drained of all water and set to the proper pressure level BEFORE startup.
• For safety, the pump motor has resetting thermal protector that automatically will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature wlll damage the pump and void the warranty.
• Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.
• Do not allow pump to be exposed to freezing temperatures. This can crack the cast iron, and void the warranty.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing any component (drain all water from the system).
5. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line could whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Secure the pump on a solid base.
7. Check that all pipe connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a dedicated 15-amp or larger fuse or circuit breaker.
9. Never use extension cords with this pump!
10. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
11. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
12. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
13. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts or 230 volts, 60 Hz. Directly connect pump wires into properly grounded circuit board in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
14. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords. Failure to properly wire this pump is dangerous and will void the warranty.

PREPARATION

Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.

Estimated Installation Time (New installation): 30-60 minutes
Tools Required for Assembly (not included): Wrench, Pliers, Phillips Screwdriver, Thread Tape, PVC Purple Primer, and PVC Cement

Accessories Required for Assembly (not included):

• Pressure Tank
• 1-1/4 in. Foot Valve
• 1-1/4 in. and 1 in. PVC Adaptors
• 1 in. MNPTx 1-1/4 in. SLIP PVC Adaptor

DETERMINING THE DEPTH OF WELL
Using a weight tied to as string, determine the depth of the well by dropping the weight down the well, and then:

• Measure the ground level mark to where the string is wet. This is your well’s water level.
• This number must be 1 Oft under the pump’s normal pumping level.
• Subtract 5 ft from this measured water level number. This number must be less than 25 feet.
• See Step 3 of Installation Instructions for a diagram.

LOCATION OF THE PUMP
Decide on the area for the pump installation. Select a pump location with adequate space for future pump maintenance. It can be located in the basement or utility room of the house, at the well, or between the house and the well. If installed outside of the house, it should be protected by a pump house with auxiliary heat to prevent possible freezing. The well also should be protected for sanitary reasons. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.

TANKS – PRE-CHARGED STORAGE
For best performance of the pump, it is recommended that you use a diaphragm pressure tank (not included). It is best to have this in place before installing the pump. A pre-charged storage tank has a flexible bladder or diaphragm that acts as a barrier between the compressed air and water. This barrier prevents the air from being absorbed into the water and allows the water to be acted on by compressed air at initially higher than atmospheric pressures (pre-charged). More usable water is provided than with a conventional type tank. Pre-charged tanks are specified in terms of a conventional tank. For example, a 20-gallon pre-charged tank will have the same usable water or draw-down capacity as a 40-gallon conventional tank, but the tank is smaller in size.

CAUTION : In order for the pump and tank to operate properly, the pressure tank needs to be drained of all water BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW PUMP. After draining, if you are using the supplied 30/50 PSI pressure switch at the pre-set settings, add or adjust the air pressure in the tank to 28 PSI of pressure BEFORE startup.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE : Use a minimum of 1-1 /4″ diameter PVC piping for the suction pipe for best performance.
A 1 in. MNPT x 1-1/4 in. SLIP adaptor will be needed to make the connection to the pump.

WARNING
For new installations or replacement installations, we recommend installing a new foot valve. A properly operating foot valve is essential to proper system operation and life.
If using this pump for applications other than Well Water applications, please contact our technical services department for proper installation recommendations.

All joints and connections must be AIRTIGHT. A single leak will prevent the proper operation of the pump. Wrap thread tape clockwise on all threaded connections. For all non-threaded connections, you must use PVC Purple Primer and PVC Cement to ensure airtight seals. Measure all pipe lengths before attaching.

1. Wrap thread tape (not included) around threads of a 1-1 /4 in. male PVC adaptor (not included).Thread adaptor into a A  1-1/4 in. foot valve. Hand tighten, then tighten 1/2 turn with U a pipe wrench.

2. Subtract 5 feet from the depth of the well. This is the total length of PVC pipe and adaptors needed. Using PVC purple primer and PVC cement (not included), attach as many couplings and sections of rigid PVC pipe (not included) to the adaptor as necessary.

3. Before sliding the pipe assembly into the well, firmly clamp the assembly with a pipe clamp (not included) to prevent the assembly from sliding down into the well.

4. Remove pipe clamp and slide a well seal (not included) over the PVC pipe and onto the well casing (not pictured).
   The PVC pipe should extend approximately 12 in. from the well seal, depending on the height of the pump (A).
   NOTE : DO NOT let the assembly slide down into well. Tighten the well seal until the rubber gaskets are tight against the well casing and the PVC pipe.

5. Using PVC purple primer and PVC cement, attach a1-1/4 in. PVC elbow (not included) onto the rigid PVC pipe extending from the well seal.

6. Wrap thread tape around the threads of a male PVC adaptor (not included). Thread the adaptor into the front of the pump (A).

7. Using PVC purple primer and PVC cement, attach as many sections of rigid PVC pipe and couplings (not included) as needed to connect the male PVC adaptor to the PVC elbow.
   Ensure the pipe slopes slightly toward the well (to prevent air trapping in the pipe).

8. Wrap thread tape (not included) around threads of a 1 in. discharge tee (not included). Using a pipe wrench, thread the 1 in. discharge tee into top of the pump.

9. Wrap thread tape (not included) around the threads of a 1 in. male PVC adaptor (not included), and thread the adaptor into the discharge tee.

10. Wrap all threads with thread tape. In order for the pump (A) and the pressure tank (not included) to operate properly, the pressure tank needs to be drained of all water BEFORE INSTALLING IT TO THE PUMP. Thread a 10 in. tank tee (not included) or another necessary size tee into the pressure tank.
    Plug one outlet on top of the tank tee with a 1/4 in. plug (not included) and install a pressure gauge (not included) on the other outlet on top of the tank tee. Thread two 1 in. female PVC adaptors (not included) onto the two inlet sides of tank tee. Thread a 1/2 in. relief valve and a 1/2 in. drain valve (both not included) to the front of the tank tee.

11. Air pressure in the tank must be 2 PSI lower than the “cut-in” of the pressure switch.
    NOTE : The pump (A) has a 30/50 PSI pressure switch, which means the “cut-in” is 30 PSI; therefore, the tank needs to be set to 28 PSI. To check the pressure in the tank, use a tire pressure gauge (not included). If more air is needed, add air to the tank with a tire pump or air compressor. If less is needed, bleed out some air.

12. Using PVC purple primer and PVC cement, attach a section of 1 in. PVC pipe (not included) as needed to connect the 1 in. male PVC adaptor on the discharge tee to the 1 in. female PVC adaptor on the tank tee. Attach another section of 1 in. PVC pipe (not included) as needed to connect the other 1 in. female PVC adaptor on the tank tee to the water system from the house.
    CAUTION! Never install a shut-off valve between the pump (A) and the tank, as this can cause excessive friction loss and can damage the pressure switch and/or pump (A). If necessary, only install a fully open gate valve (not included).

13. To prime, remove both:
    a. The plug from the top of the discharge tee (water will be filled in here), and;
    b. The priming plug in front of the discharge tee (this is to allow air to vent out while priming).
    Fill the discharge tee with water until water overflows.
    NOTE: It may take several minutes or more to fill the pipes and the pump (A) completely. Watch the water level in the discharge tee. Make sure the water level is stable and there are no air bubbles.
    WARNING : If the pump is lower than the suction pipe, aire may trap in the pipe. The pump may not work properly. Make sure the pipe slopes away from the pump.
    Wrap the discharge tee plug and priming plug threads with thread tape and re- attach to the pump (A). Tighten with wrench.

14. This pump is pre-wired at 230 volts. If the power source is 115 volts, remove the electrical housing cover. Flip the switch to 115 volts. Replace the cover.
    NOTE : All electrical work should be performed by a licensed electrician.

PRESSURE SWITCH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING  Before wiring the pressure switch, turn off the power source to which you are connecting to avoid potentially life threatening electrical shock.
WARNING  It is recommended all electrical work be performed by a licensed electrician.
WARNING  When wiring from the power source to the pressure switch, it is recommended that you use either a 14-gauge or 12-gauge cord.

To complete the installation, you must connect the power source to the pressure switch. A 30/50 PSI pressure switch has been installed on the pump. The pressure switch allows for automatic operation; the pump starts when pressure drops to the “cut-in” setting (30 PSI pre-set).

To wire the pressure switch:

• Remove the pressure switch cover on pump to expose the 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.

If you had a different pressure switch on the old pump (ex. 20/40 PSI), make sure to adjust the pressure in your tank to 28 PSI! You may need an air compressor to add air pressure. If you have too much air pressure in the tank, simply press the air stem down to release air.
You will need a tire gauge to test the pressure in the tank!
