8 10 FLOW RATE (m /hr) PUMP The DAYLIFF DMS range of horizontal multistage centrifugal pumps are heavy duty industrial quality pumps suitable for various water supply, irrigation and industrial applications. Particular features include gland packing seals for simple and economical maintenance and external securing tie bolts for ease of disassembly.

2. MOUNTING Prime Mover Selection: It is essential to ensure correct prime mover selection as the pump unit will be inefficient if over sized and will overload if undersized. The power absorbed at the duty point should be read from the pump curve and an appropriately sized prime mover selected that allows for some spare power capacity (recommended 15%) to accommodate efficiency reductions as the installation ages.
3. INSTALLATION 3. INSTALLATION Location: The pump should be installed as near as possible to the water and as a general rule the suction lift should be minimised to ensure maximum pumping efficiency. Foundation: To be sufficiently substantial to support the pump independently of piping and provide sufficient support to eliminate mounting bedplate distortion.
Foot Valve: Unless there is a positive suction with the water surface above the pump centerline and a free water flow into the pump, a foot valve is required with an inlet area atleast 1 ½ times the area of the suction pipe. A strainer should have clear area of 3 or 4 times that of the suction pipe.
