Typical Installations
Jet pumps turn on and off by a device called the pressure switch (included
with all jet pumps). The pressure range indicates when the pump will turn
on and off.
Mainly used for household water supply from a well, driven point, or open
water source. Pumps should be used with Standard or pre-charged
pressure tank.

What additional items do I need?
Will the pumps operate regardless
of the voltage – 115 or 230?
One pipe between water source and pump indicates a Shallow Well
pump, two pipes Deep Well pump.
The pump is factory pre-wired for 230 volts but can be changed to
operate on 115 volts (see owner’s manual).
When replacing an existing pump, look on the existing pumps
identification label for voltage information.
NOTE: Either Schedule 40 or 80 pipe will work in this installation. Be
sure to check your state and local building codes.
NOTICE: In shallow well it is recommended to install or replace the
foot valve, and a combination check valve.
These pumps should always be used with a pressure tank (The larger
the tank, the less the pump will turn on and off. ).
