Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
DRIVEN WELL INSTALLATION
• 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

INSTALLATION
• Install a foot valve on the inlet pipe and lower into the water.
Locate foot valve no closer than 2 feet from the
bottom of the well so sand or sediment is not drawn into the system.
MISE EN GARDE
Placer le clapet de pied à moins de 60 cm
du fond du puits pour éviter que du sable ou des sédiments ne soient
aspirés dans le système.
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.
Protect the pipe from damge by swimmers and
boaters. Install a screen around the inlet pipe to prevent the entrapment
of swimmers, wildlife and debris.
Protéger le tuyau contre les dommages causés
par les nageurs et les plaisanciers. Installer un écran autour du tuyau
d'entrée pour éviter de piéger des nageurs, des animaux et des débris.
