  • Page 8: Positioning The Pump

    BJM Pumps, LLC at 860-399-5937. As a general rule, LWA Series top discharge pumps can pump down to a level above the suction screen. Pumping lower than screen will permit air to enter the pump and cavitate, lose prime or become air bound.
  • Page 9: Pump Rotation

    PUMP ROTATION Two ways to check the correct pump rotation: 1. By looking at the impeller; the rotation of the impeller should be counter clockwise as shown in the picture below. 2. By looking from the top of the pump. Since the impeller cannot be seen, the best way to check the rotation is to check the kick back motion of the pump when the pump just starts.
