Wayne Jet Pump JSU50 User Manual

Un manantial que emerge

de la tierra. Ocurre cuando

el agua en materiales

permeables está atrapada

entre materiales 

impermeables tales como 

roca o arcilla.

Agua superficial, que a menos

que sea tratada, por lo general

no es apta para consumo 

humano. Puede ser utilizada 

para fines tales como lavado

o irrigación.

Se excava un hoyo de

varios pies de diámetro 

hasta una profundidad

basante superficial. 

Luego se reviste con 

ladrillo, piedra o 

concreto para evitar 

que se derrumbe.

Se acciona una tubería

con una pantalla con 

punta en la tierra, por

debajo de la capa 

freática. La profundidad 

por lo general es menor

a 15,25 m (50 pies). 

Los diámetros comunes 

fluctúan entre 2,5 cm (1")

 y 5,1 cm (2")

Un hoyo perforado en

la tierra con maquinaria y

revestido con tuberías.

Las profundidades 

fluctúan entre algunos

pies hasta más de 305 m

(1000 pies). Los diámetros

comunes son 5,1 cm (2"), 

7,6 cm (3"), 10,2 cm (4") y 

15,2 cm (6") para pozos 

de agua de uso doméstico.

Un tanque subterráneo 

construido para recolectar

agua de lluvias de los 

techos. El agua no es

apta para consumo 

humano.

Manual de Instrucciones de Operación y Piezas

As an alternative, an in-line check valve
can be used with a driven well (Figure
9).

DRILLED WELL

1. Install a foot valve on the first sec-

tion of pipe (Figure 10).

2. Lower the pipe into the well.

3. Add pipe until the foot valve is 10

feet below the lowest anticipated
water level.

Leaking joints or couplings will allow
air to leak into the pipe and cause poor
pump operation. Make sure to use pipe
joint compound or Teflon

®

tape on all

pipe connections.   

8.  Slope horizontal lines up toward

pump a minimum of 1/4" per foot.
This will prevent trapping air in the
lines.

The voltage of power supply must
match the voltage of the pump. Above
ground well pumps covered in this
manual have dual voltage motors pre-
set at the factory to 230 volts. The
motors can be converted to 115 volts by
turning the voltage selector to the
desired voltage (See Figure 6).  Use a
needle nose pliers to pull the selector
out approximately 1/4”, rotate and
then reinsert in correct position. 

Connect the pump to a separate electri-
cal circuit with a dedicated circuit
breaker. Refer to the electrical specifi-
cations in the Wiring Chart for recom-
mended circuit breaker and wire size.

The motor must be grounded by con-
necting a copper conductor to the
grounding screw provided within the
wiring compartment in the pressure
switch.

The field wiring compartment for the
jet pump is inside the pressure switch
housing. There is only one proper
ground screw on the unit. The screw is
located under the pressure switch
cover, painted green and is identified
as GRD. The ground connection must
be made to this terminal (Figure 7).

Refer to the wiring diagram located
under the cover of the pressure switch
(Figure 7).

To attach AC power to the switch,
loosen the screw holding the cover
onto the switch and remove the cover.

Loosen unused ground screw and
attach the exposed end of the ground
wire between the screw head and the
pressure switch body, then tighten.

Loosen the top two screws on the pres-
sure switch and retighten with the AC
power leads captured under the screw
heads. Reattach the pressure switch
cover and tighten the screw.

DRIVEN WELL

1. Drive the point several feet below

the water table.

NOTE: A packer-type foot valve can be
installed in the well (Figure 8). This
type of foot valve allows the well pipe
to be filled with water when priming
and makes the inlet pipe much easier
to test for leaks. Follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions when installing the
packer-type foot valve.
