BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR PUMP
NOTICE: Well must not be more than 20' depth to water.
1. Long runs and many fittings increase friction and reduce flow. Locate
pump as close to well as possible: use as few elbows and fittings as
possible.
2. Be sure well is clear of sand. Sand will plug the pump and void the

warranty.

3. Protect pump and all piping from freezing. Freezing will split pipe,
damage pump and void the warranty. Check locally for frost protection
requirements (usually pipe must be 12" below frost line and pump must
be insulated).
4. Be sure all pipes and foot valve are clean and in good shape.
5. No air pockets in suction pipe.
