4. Install a priming tee, priming plug, and suction pipe to the pump.
Scale
Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it does-
n't strain the pump body, and so that it slopes slightly upward from the
well to the pump (high spots can cause air pockets which can air lock
the pump). Seal the suction pipe joints with teflon tape. Joints must be
air and water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump cannot
pull water from the well.

1. Install the control valve, the pressure gauge and the deep well injector
plug in the pump body. See Figure 2. Purchase Model MDWC Deep
Well Conversion Kit to obtain these parts.
2. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
3. Install a flexible pipe between the well head and the pump so the con-
nection will be correct. Connect small port to small port and large port
to large port.
NOTICE: Simer jet pumps have the suction port (the larger port) below
the drive port. See Figure 3.
4. Connect both the suction and drive pipes to the ejector piping and
lower the ejector into the well until it is five feet from the bottom. It
should also be at least 10 feet below the well's water level while the
pump is running in order to prevent the pump from sucking air.
5. Install a sanitary well seal and connect the ejector piping to the pump.
Use steel nipples through the well seal with flexible poly pipe to avoid
crushing the plastic pipe when tightening the seal.
6. Support the pipe so that there are no dips or sags in the pipe, so it does-
