Installation
REPLACING AN EXISTING PUMP
DEEP WELL
Hazardous voltage.
Disconnect power
to pump before working on pump motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump.
Check pipe for scale, lime, rust, etc.,
and replace it if necessary.
2. If your old pump has the suction pipe
(the larger port – See Figure 3) below
the drive port, you will need to
install flexible pipe between the well
head and the pump so that the
connection will be correct. (See
Figure 4).
NOTE: Your old ejector (in the well)
may not be properly matched to your
new pump. If the pump does not
perform properly, we recommend that
you install a Teel ejector kit. The ejector
must match the well conditions; see
Charts I through VII for ejector kit
identification.
3. Install the pump in the system. 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.
4. 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.
You have just completed the well
plumbing for your new deep well jet
pump. Please go to Pages 9 and 10 for
Discharge Pipe and Tank Connections.
SHALLOW WELL
Hazardous voltage.
Disconnect power
to pump before working on pump motor.
1. Drain and remove the old pump.
Check the old pipe for scale, lime,
rust, etc., and replace it if necessary.
2. Install ejector package 2P429A
(ejector is included on Model 4RJ49
pump/tank system. For other heavy-
duty jet pumps, kits are sold
separately). Follow the instructions
provided with the kit. Be sure to
align the venturi with the top hole
on the front of the pump
(See Figure 5).
NOTE: Always replace the ejector when
replacing the pump in a shallow well
installation.
3. Install the pump in the system. 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
