Pre-Installation (continued)
DETERMINE THE DEPTH OF YOUR WELL
the bottom of the well. Make a mark on the string at ground level. Pull the weight out of the well and measure from the bottom of the
weight to the ground level mark. This is the depth of your well. Subtract 5 ft. from the depth of your well. If this number is less than 25 ft.
shallow well installation should be followed. If this number is more than 25 ft. and less than 110 ft. deep well installation should be followed.
If this number is more than 110 ft. a deep well submersible pump should be selected. Measure the ground level mark to the mark where
the cotton string is wetted. This number is your well’s water level. The intake foot should also be at least 10 ft. below the well’s water level
while the pump is running in order to prevent the pump from sucking air due to water level drawdown.
LOCATION OF THE PUMP
Decide on the area for the pump installation. Select a pump location with adequate space for future pump maintenance. It can be located in
the basement or utility room of the house, in a crawl space, at the well, or between the house and the well. If installed outside of the house,
moisture. The well also should be protected for sanitary reasons. Mount the pump as close to the well as possible.
TANKS - PRE-CHARGED STORAGE
For best performance of the pump, it is recommended that you use a diaphragm pressure tank (sold separately). It is best to have this
compressed air and water. This barrier prevents the air from being absorbed into the water and allows the water to be acted on by
compressed air at initially higher than atmospheric pressures (pre-charged). More usable water is provided than with a conventional type
tank.
The pump has a 30/50 Psi pressure switch, which means the "cut-in" is 30 Psi; therefore, the tank needs to be set to 28 Psi. To check the
pressure in the tank, use a tire pressure gauge (not included). If the tank pre-charged less than 28 Psi, re-charge air to the tank to 28 Psi
with a tire pump or air compressor. If the tank pre-charged over 28 Psi, bleed out some air to 28 Psi.
For wells 25 ft. or less in depth, shallow well installations should be adapted.
The shallow well installations have only one single pipe between the pump and well water.
