Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

DISCHARGE PIPING

Install a 1-1/2” pipe tee in the pump 
discharge to allow easy priming. Plug 
the end of the tee opposite the pump 
to allow the branch piping to go to the 
spray nozzles (See Figure 1). Remove 
the pipe plug to fill the pump with 
water for priming. 

The maximum vertical suction lift from 
pump to the water level is 25 feet. 

DRILLED WELL

1.  Install a foot valve on the first 

section of pipe (see Figure 2).

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.

4.  After the proper depth is reached, 

install a well seal or pitless adapter 
to support the pipe.

5.  Slope the horizontal pipe upward 

toward the pump to eliminate 
trapping air.

6.  When using a foot valve, a priming 

tee and plug above the well seal is 
recommended.

DRIVEN WELL

   • Drive the point several feet below 

the water table.

NOTE: A packer-type foot valve can be 
installed in the well (See Figure 3). 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 manufacturer’s 
instructions when installing the packer-
type foot valve.

As an alternative, an in-line check valve can 
be used with a driven well (See Figure 4). 

It may be necessary  to supply the pump 
with multiple well points to maintain 
the high flow capability of this pump. 
Consult with a plumbing professional 
for appropriate materials and 
installation instructions.

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.

   • Install a foot valve on the inlet pipe 

and lower into the water.

NOTE: When a lake is used for the water 
supply, make sure the suction pipe is 
deep enough to be submerged at all 
times. Slope the pipe upward toward 
the pump to eliminate trapping air. The 
pipe must be removed during winter 
months or protected against freezing.

Connect the pump to a separate electrical 
circuit with a dedicated circuit breaker. 
Refer to the electrical specifications in 
wiring chart for recommended circuit 
breaker and wire size.
