INSTALLATION
LAWN SPRINKLING APPLICATION
This pump is designed for a pond, cistern or well points. Pump
discharge can be divided to supply two (2) or more sprinkler
systems. A suggested multiple dis charge to service is shown in
Figure 3.
.
PUMP/PIPING INSTALLATION
Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant tape for making all
threaded connections to the pump itself. Do not use pipe joint
compounds on plastic pumps: they can react with the plastic in
the pump components.
Make sure that all pipe joints in the suction pipe are air tight as
well as water tight. If the suction pipe can suck air, the pump
will not be able to pull water from the well.
1. Bolt pump to solid, level foundation.
2. Support all piping connected to the pump.
• Install pump as close to well head as poss ible. Long
piping runs and many fittings create friction and
reduce flow.
3. Wrap 1-1/2 to 2 layers of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape
clockwise (as you face end of pipe) on all male threads
being attached to pump.
4. Tighten joints hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns. Do not
overtighten.
5. If long, horizontal pipe runs have to be used, install a
priming tee between the check valve and the well head
(Figure 1). Use schedule 80 or iron pipe.
