The pump should be placed on a flat, solid foundation,
high enough to prevent flooding of the motor.
•
Install the filter and pump in a sheltered location, ensu-
ring ventilation and adequate access for servicing.
•
Do not mount electrical controls directly over pump.
•
Provide adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
•
Size all piping adequately and keep the number of el-
bows to a minimum.
•
Independently support the pipe near the suction and
discharge of the pump in order to reduce the strain on
the pump.
•
Avoid overtightening pipe connections. Use only pipe
sealants formulated for plastics. Do not use petroleum
based products. It is essential that the suction line is
free of air leaks. The suction line should always be at
least the same size as the suction inlet of the pump.
Please note: There can be specific needs to use pumps by
swimming pools, garden ponds or such places.
