PUMPING FROM PONDS, STREAMS, AND LAKES

□
Place the pump as close as possible (vertically) to the water source in order to maintain a suction lift (distance from the water to
the pump) as short as possible.
□
Set the pump on a level and firm base.
□
Protect the unit against flooding and excess moisture. Also, ensure the weight of the pipe is supported.
□
Make sure the water is clear of any debris that could clog the pump, such as scale, dirt, or sand. Ensure the suction strainer or foot
valve and pipe are in good condition; scale or dirt in the suction strainer or foot valve can cause the valve to leak. Valve leakage
may prevent priming, which can ultimately cause the pump to fail or overheat.
□
The use of extended pipe runs and many fittings can cause friction and reduce the water flow. Use the least amount of fittings and
the shortest amount of piping possible.

PIPING

Both suction and discharge ports are designed for 1 in. NPT (National Pipe) threads. If using hoses, use a supplied hose adaptor. If pumping
from lakes, streams, or ponds, use a reinforced hose on the suction. A non-reinforced hose could collapse, reduce effectiveness, and cause
the pump to fail. Install the suction strainer with a foot valve on the end of the suction line to prevent this. Check and clean the strainer
often.
An air leak in the suction pipe could draw air in without leaking water, yet reducing the suction. Ensure there are no air pockets or leaks in
the suction pipe.
