WARNING: Turn off power at the electrical

service box before starting installation.

Finding the Depth of Your Well:

1. Tie a small, heavy weight to the end of a cord

(make sure the cord is at least 350 ft. long).

Lower this weight into the well until it reaches

the bottom. Take up any slack and mark the

string at ground level. Pull the string from the

well and measure from the weight to your

mark. This is the depth of your well. Subtract

10 ft. from your well depth. See Performance

chart on page 5 to be sure pump is rated for

this depth. (Fig. 1)

NOTE: Schedule 80 PVC pipe (sold separately) is recommended. If you use black poly pipe (sold

separately), the pipe must be rated for 160 PSI and be no longer than 200 ft.

NOTE: The pump must be assembled with piping on the ground before lowering into the well. Lay

out all necessary materials near the well.

NOTE: All threaded joints and connections should have thread tape (not included) applied,

tightened securely with a pipe wrench (not included) and then tightened an additional 1/4 turn.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

2. Drawdown is the lowest water level in the

well after the pump is turned on. If you know

the drawdown, the pump can be set 20 feet

below this level. However, the bottom of the

motor should be at least 10 feet from the top

of the well screen. (Fig. 2)

CAUTION: If your pump depth is 200

ft. or more, you may want to consider

contacting a professional well pump

installer. Piping filled with water, along

with the weight of the pump, will be very

heavy. Be sure to have assistance during

pump installation.
