Operation
THIS PUMP IS DESIGNED FOR INTERMITTENT
DUTY ONLY.
Plumbing
Position the input hose so that it rises from the water
drawing source to the pump. Avoid positioning the
input hose higher than the pump, as this would
delay the escape of air bubbles from the input hose
and impede the priming process.
Installation of a strainer is required to prevent foreign
debris from entering the pump. Always secure barb
tubing connections with properly sized stainless-
steel clamps to prevent leaks. Never use Teflon tape
or sealing compounds on threads. Sealer may enter
the pumps causing a failure. Failure due to foreign
debris is not covered under warranty.
We recommended at least 0.3m of 12.7mm I/D
flexible hose to the inlet and outlet connections.
Use hose clamps on hose connections to prevent
water leaks. The pump’s normal oscillation may
transmit through rigid plumbing causing noise and
possibly loosen or crack components.
Note: If the water supply is below the level of the
pump, fitting a Non Return Valve is recommended
to prevent water running back to the water supply.
Typical Vertical Horizontal
Location and Mounting
The following should be considered to achieve
optimum pump operation.
The pump can be mounted at the same level or
below the water supply. It may also be positioned
above the water supply if need, as it is capable of a
1.8m vertical prime. The horizontal inlet will allow
priming to 7m.
The pump can be mounted in any position. If
mounting the pump vertically, the pump head should
be in the down position for optimum performance.
The Mounting Feet are intended to isolate the pump
from mounting surface; over tightening, flattening,
or use of oversized screws will reduce the ability to
isolate vibration and noise.
