Locating the Water Pump
Locate the Water Pump on a flat, level, sturdy surface
capable of supporting the weight of the Pump.
1. For best Pump performance, place the Pump
near the water level and use hoses that are
no longer than necessary. This will allow the
Pump to produce the greatest output with the
least self-priming time. See diagram below.

Discharge Head
As the head (pumping height) increases,
pump output decreases. The length, type,
and size of the suction and discharge hoses
can also significantly affect Pump output.
Discharge head capability is always greater than
suction head capability. This means pumping height
for the Intake Hose (suction head) should be shorter
than the pumping height for the Discharge Hose.
Minimizing suction head (placing the Pump
closer to the water level) will also help reduce
self-priming time. This is the time it takes the
Pump to bring the water from the water level
to the Pump during the initial operation.
2. Route the Intake Hose with the Intake Strainer
fully immersed in the water supply source.
