Bristol-Myers Squibb Boating Equipment PQP10 Manual De Usuario

NOTICE: Use the installation method below which
matches your well type.

1. Inspect foot valve to be sure it works freely. Inspect

strainer to be sure it is clean.

2. Connect foot valve and strainer to the first length of

suction pipe and lower pipe into well. Add sections of
pipe as needed, using Teflon tape on male threads.
Be sure that all suction pipe is leakproof or pump will
lose prime and fail to pump. Install foot valve 10 to
20 feet below the lowest level to which water will
drop while pump is operating (pumping water level).
Your well driller can furnish this information.

3. To prevent sand and sediment from entering the

pumping system, the foot valve/strainer should be at
least 5 feet above the bottom of the well.

4. When the proper depth is reached, install a sanitary

well seal over the pipe and in the well casing.
Tighten the bolts to seal the casing.

5. When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug as

shown in Figure 5 are recommended.

Same as cased well installation.

1. Connect the suction pipe to the drive point as

illustrated in Figure 6. Keep horizontal pipe run as
short as possible. Use Teflon tape on male pipe
threads. Multiple well points may be necessary to
provide sufficient water to pump.

2. Install a check valve in horizontal pipe. Flow arrow

on check valve must point toward pump.

1. Never install a suction pipe that is smaller than the

suction port of the pump.

2. To aid priming on well point installations, install a

line check valve as shown in Figure 6. Be sure
check valve flow arrow points toward pump.

1. If increasing discharge pipe size, install reducer in

pump discharge port. Do not increase pipe size by
stages.

2. When the pump is set away from the points of water

use, the discharge pipe size should be increased to
reduce pressure losses caused by friction.
• Up to 100' run: Same size as pump discharge port.
• 100' to 300' run: Increase one pipe size.
• 300' to 600' run: Increase two pipe sizes.

This pump is designed for lawn sprinkling. It is de-
signed to deliver plenty of water at full sprinkler pres-
sure. It can pump from a pond, cistern or well points.

Pump discharge can be divided to supply two (2) or
more sprinkler systems. A suggested multiple dis-
charge to service is shown in Figure 7.

Do not use in a pressure tank or booster pump
application.
