Suction Hose Installation
Use the commercially available hose and hose connector with the hose clamp provided with the pump. The
suction hose must be reinforced with a non-collapsible wall or braided wire construction.
The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump performance is best when the pump is near the water
level, and the hoses are short.
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the hose connector to the suction hose in order to prevent air leakage and loss
of suction. Verify that the hose connector sealing washers is in good condition.
Install the strainer (provided with the pump) on the other end of the suction hose, and secure it with a hose
clamp. The strainer will help to prevent the pump from becoming clogged or damaged by debris.
Securely tighten the hose connector on the pump suction port.
