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. Attach a
foot valve (sold separately) near the bottom
of the intake line. See diagram below.

As the head (pumping height) increases,
pump output decreases. A non-collapsible
suction hose must be used. The length, type,
and size of the suction and discharge hoses
can 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 make it
easier to prime the pump (fill it with water).
2. Route the Intake Hose with the Intake Strainer
fully immersed in the water supply source.
3. Place Strainer into water to be pumped.
CAUTION: Immerse strainer fully in water.
Do not operate Pump without Strainer connected
to end of suction hose. Keep Strainer out of sand
or silt by placing Strainer in a bucket or on stones.
