* A flow inducer or flow sleeve must be used if the water enters the well above the motor or if there is
insufficient water flow past the motor.
Note: For MMS6, 50 hp and MMS 8000, 150 hp, the maximum liquid temperature is 9 °F (5 °C) lower
than the values stated in the table. For MMS 10000, 250 hp, the temperature is 18 °F (10 °C) lower.
