Installation Instructions
This pump is designed for use as a well pump.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Install indoors or in weather-proof well house only.
This Pump is non-submersible.
Do not plug in the power cord when wet or standing on damp or wet ground.
Do not plug in the power cord until instructed to do so.
NOTE: a. ONLY pump clean water.
b. Additional components (such as valves and pipes) may be required for installation, but not included.
c. Installation requires skilled workmanship and compliance with local building codes.
If you are not confident in your ability to properly and safely install this pump, have a qualified technician perform the installation.
d. The water to be pumped must be clean and must be free of sand and grit, which would damage the pump and void the warranty.
1. The illustration below shows an example of a proper shallow well pump installation. The total suction lift
(vertical well lift + length of off-set line) must not exceed Maximum Suction Lift.

Pump Setup Example
Note: This pump is intended for shallow well application only and is not intended to be used as a booster pump.
Note: For optimal performance, install the pump as close to the well head as possible.
2. Install a Foot Valve at the bottom of the suction pipe. The Foot Valve must be under the Pumping Water Level, the level that the water falls to when the pump operates.
3. Install a sterile Well Seal at the top of the suction pipe to keep the well clean. Protect from rust inside a frost-proof enclosure.
4. Intake and discharge pipes must be at least 1 ″ in diameter.
5. Lay an off-set line from the well to the structure the pump will be installed in. The off-set line should slope slightly towards the well.
Systems with longer off-set lines should use larger diameter pipe to improve efficiency.
6. Install the pump on a rigid, level, dry platform.
This platform must provide a solid, level surface that is capable of supporting the weight of the pump and attached piping filled with water.
Do not allow water to contact the pump’s housing.
NOTICE: DO NOT INSERT fittings into the Intake
Hole farther than 1/2 ″ ; this can DAMAGE the Pump, diminish Pump functions, and/or STOP water flow.
7. To prevent leaks, use metal fittings for all pipe connections to pump ports. Do not use PVC fittings.
8. Keep the Head, the height that the pump discharge must push water before discharge, to a minimum. The Vertical Well Lift, Off-set Line
Length, and Head added together must be less than Maximum Delivery Height to have flow at output. Effective flow decreases to 0 GPH as
Maximum Delivery Height reaches its maximum.
9. For your protection, the power outlet used should have a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
Have it installed by a qualified electrician.
Keep power line away from water.
10. The inlet and discharge lines should not be wedged or stressed in a way that puts strain on the pump. Do not support the pump with the inlet or discharge lines.

Operation
After reading these instructions, consider the following points before starting the pump:
1. The Compression Tank has a rubber bladder inside that has been pressurized to 23 PSI. Remove the cover over the air valve (on the tank end opposite the pipe connection) and periodically monitor this air valve with an air pressure gauge to ensure that the rubber bladder maintains the required air pressure. Air can be added using a bicycle pump.
2. Make sure the intake pipe is fully submerged before continuing.
3. Before starting the pump for the first time, prime it as follows: a. Fill the suction Pipe and Pump Body through the Priming Inlet.
b. Close the Inlet after verifying that there are no leaks.
c. Open the spigots, faucets and/or taps on the Delivery Pipe so that air can be release from the suction cycle.
4. This is a self-starting pump that uses a pressure switch. Once the power cord is connected, the pump can start at any time.
Do not handle or perform maintenance on the pump if the power cord is plugged in.
5. Verify that the pump rests on the floor of the basin, if it is not suspended by the handle.
6. Verify that the discharge pipe is properly connected.
7. Verify that the electrical connection is 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
8. Verify that the electrical socket is GFCI protected and in good condition. Test
GFCI protected outlet before use.
9. Verify that water and moisture cannot get near the power supply socket.
10. Verify that the pump is installed so as to prevent running dry.
11. Run pump for two minutes. If it fails to pump water, disconnect power, re-fill pump body through priming inlet and re-start.
12. To begin pumping, plug in the power cord.
When the line is pressurized, the pump will go to standby mode until the pressure falls below its starting pressure.
