FINDING THE DEPTH OF YOUR WELL  
IMPORTANT SELECT  
CORRECT VOLTAGE  
The jet tank system installs differently depending  
on the depth of your well. Tie a small but heavy  
weight to the end of a piece of string (be sure there is  
enough string; some wells are very deep). Lower the  
weight into the well until it reaches the bottom. Take up  
the slack and mark the string at ground level. Pull the  
weight out of the well and measure from the bottom of  
the weight to the ground level mark. This is the depth  
of your well. Subtract five feet from the depth of your  
well. This number should not exceed the maximum  
rated depth for your pump. If it does, it will greatly  
hinder or prevent the proper operation of the pump.

USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY  
Your pump is equipped with one of two types of dual  
voltage motors. Follow the instructions to wire the  
motor for the proper voltage. The voltage of the pump  
must match the voltage of the power supply.

WIRING YOUR PUMP  
Remove the cover from the pressure switch. Connect  
the bare copper ground to the ground screw in the  
pressure switch. Connect the power supply to the

DRAINING FOR SERVICING OR FOR WINTER  
PIPING  
The pump should be drained before it is disconnected  
for servicing or if it is in danger of freezing. To drain:  
Remove drain plug from bottom of pump case.  
Remove discharge tee to vent the pump.  
Plastic PVC pipe is shown in the illustrations, but  
galvanized steel pipe may be used if desired. All piping  
must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent  
clogging. ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS IN THE  
WELL ASSEMBLY MUST BE AIRTIGHT. Even a pin-  
hole leak will prevent the proper operation of the pump  
(this is the most common problem). Use thread com-  
pound on all threaded joints unless specified otherwise.  
Drain all piping to a point 3 feet below ground level.  
SHALLOW WELL PUMP INSTALLATION (4" DIAMETER CASED WELL)  
For wells 25 feet or less in depth, the ejector may be  
attached to the front of the tank-mounted jet pump. For  
lower depths, the ejector must be placed down inside  
the well (see DEEP WELL PUMP INSTALLATION). All  
materials with part numbers are quality Water Ace parts.  
One can PVC cement (read instructions carefully)  
One can thread compound (read instructions carefully)  
Two male 1-1/4" PVC adapters  
Enough rigid 1-1/4" PVC pipe and couplings to reach  
from bottom of well to pump.  
One 4" well seal #RWS4-1012 with vent plug  
One 1-1/4" PVC elbow  
General Materials  
One Jet Tank System #R-30-T7. Includes: 1/3 HP  
jet pump mounted on a 7-gallon diaphragm pressure  
tank, pressure gauge, and twin ejector with gasket,  
bolts, venturi tubes, and foot valve.  
Tools Needed for all pump installations  
Pipe wrench, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, slot screw-  
driver, 24-tooth hacksaw, knife or round file.  
REMINDER: ALL JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE AIRTIGHT. A SINGLE PIN-  
HOLE LEAK WILL PREVENT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE PUMP. USE THREAD  
COMPOUND ON ALL THREADED CONNECTIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST  
(CAUTION: SHUT OFF POWER TO PUMP)  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSES  
Not enough water. Stop motor, remove pressure gauge plug, and fill case with water.  
Pump wired incorrectly.  
Plugged venturi tube or nozzle.  
Pump will not prime  
Foot valve is sitting in sand or mud, or is stuck shut, or leaks.  
Low well water level. In deep wells, the ejector as well as the foot valve must be below  
water level.  
Leaks. Check all connections for airtightness.  
Low well water level. Use a water-level tester while pump is operating.  
Plugged venturi tube, nozzle, or impeller parts.  
Pump delivers water  
for a period of time,  
then stops pumping  
Plugged venturi or nozzle.  
Faulty pressure gauge resulting in false readings.  
In deep wells, the operating pressure may be too high.  
Low well water level. Use a water-level tester while pump is operating.  
Over-submergence of ejector. In deep wells, if ejector is more than 10 feet below  
pumping level, pumping capacity is reduced.  
Pump does not de-  
liver rated capacity  
In deep wells, the ejector may have improper size and depth setting.  
Motor voltage does not match power supply voltage. See pages 2 and 3.  
Improper wire size. See Wire Size Guide on page 3.  
Impeller is rubbing against pump case.  
Motor overheats and  
shuts off (overload)  
Impeller neck is worn.  
Defective pressure switch.  
The tube connecting the two brass fittings may be clogged.  
Tank precharge pressure too high. Tank precharge pressure must be 1-2 pounds less  
than switch turn-on setting.  
Pump delivers water  
but will not shut off  
In deep wells, the water level may be going below limit of ejector. Use water-level  
tester while pump is operating.  
Pressure switch  
turns on and off  
every few seconds  
Galvanized storage tank is waterlogged.  
Leaky foot valve.  
Too much tank pressure.  
Motor fails or does  
not operate properly
