WELL POINT PUMP INSTALLATION
Materials needed in addition to Shallow Well General Materials,
for Well Points only
• Enough galvanized 1-1/2" pipe and couplings to reach from
bottom of well to one foot above ground level
• One 1-1/2" galvanized Elbow
• One 1-1/2" galvanized Nipple
• One 1-1/2" Check Valve RCV-15
• One 1-1/2" Male PVC Adapter
STEP 1: Drive well point according to instructions included with
well point. Use as much galvanized pipe and couplings as needed
to both reach water and leave approximately one foot of pipe
protruding from ground.
STEP 2: Thread 1-1/2" galvanized elbow onto pipe protruding
from ground.
STEP 3: Thread 1-1/2" galvanized nipple into the 1-1/2"
galvanized elbow.
STEP 4: Thread 1-1/2" Check Valve RCV-15 onto 1-1/2"
galvanized nipple.
STEP 5: Thread 1-1/2" Male PVC Adapter into 1-1/2"
Check Valve RCV-15.
STEP : Follow steps 6–13 in cased well instructions. Total
installation should look like the drawing to the right.
MULTIPLE WELL POINTS
In a well point application, it is very common to combine the
suction of several well points in order to match the higher flow
capability of the pump. When using an inground lawn sprinkler
pump with multiple well points, maintain as equal a distance
between well points as possible. Refer to the illustration to
the right. Consult with your pump professional for appropriate
materials and installation instructions.
DRAINING AND SERVICING OR FOR WINTER
The pump should be drained before it is disconnected for
servicing, or if it is inoperative for an extended period of time, or
if it is in danger of freezing. To drain:
• Remove 1-1/2" pipe plug from discharge tee.
• Remove the 1/4" plug from the lower front of pump.
• Drain all piping to a point 3 feet below ground level.
