Leaking joints or couplings will allow air to
leak into the pipe and cause poor pump operation or difficulty priming
Make sure to use pipe joint compound or plumber’s seal tape on all
threaded pipe connections.
Locate foot valve no closer than 2 feet from the
bottom of the well so sand or sediment is not drawn into the system.
MISE EN GARDE
Placer le clapet de pied à moins de 60 cm
du fond du puits pour éviter que du sable ou des sédiments ne soient
aspirés dans le système.
4. After the proper depth is reached, install a well seal or pitless
adapter to support the pipe.
5. Slope the horizontal pipe upward toward the pump to eliminate
trapping air.
6. When using a foot valve, a priming tee and plug above the well seal
is recommended.
