Replacing an Existing Pump 4
SHALLOW WELL (Figure 1)
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or kill. Disconnect power
to pump before working on pump or motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the old pipes for scale, lime,
rust, etc., and replace them if necessary.
2. Install the pump in the system (see Figures 4, 5, and 6). Make sure that
all of the 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.
3. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing connections do
not put a strain on the pump body. Support the pipe so that the pump
body does not take the weight of piping or fittings.
DEEP WELL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or kill. Disconnect the
power to the pump before working on pump or motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump. Check the pipes for scale, lime, rust,
etc., and replace them if necessary.
2. Install the control valve, pressure gauge, and deep well plug in the
pump body (purchase kit separately; see Figure 2). When connecting to
the well head, be sure you go small port to small port (drive) and large
port to large port (suction). If necessary, use flexible pipes and twist
them to make the correct connections.
3. Simer pumps have the suction pipe (the larger port) below the drive port
(see Figures 2 and 3).
4. Install the pump in the system. Make sure all of the 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.
5. Adjust the pump mounting height so that the plumbing connections do
not put a strain on the pump body. Support the pipe so that the pump
body does not take the weight of piping or fittings.
NOTICE: Your old injector system (in the well) may not be properly
matched to your new pump. If your pump does not perform properly,
we recommend that you install a Simer MDWE Injector Kit (4" well) or a
Simer MDWA Injector Kit (2" packer-type well).
