INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOWERING PUMP INTO WELL
CAUTION: If your pump depth will be
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.
REMINDER: Pump and all piping must be
assembled and securely connected before the
assembly is lowered into the well.
1. Tie one end of safety rope (sold separately)
securely to pump safety eyelet and the other
end to the well cap. This is your only security
against losing the pump down the well.
(Fig 1)
CAUTION: Be sure the top edge of
the well casing is perfectly smooth. Sharp or
jagged edges can cut or scrape the cable and
cause a short. Do not let the cable drag over
the edge of the well casing since this may
cause damage to the insulation.
2. Lower pump to approximately 20 ft. below
maximum drawdown of the water or a
minimum of 10 ft. off the bottom. Do NOT
set pump on bottom of well. (Fig 2)
3. Use a pipe vise (not included) to prevent the
pump and pipe from dropping into the well.
