3.1.3 Suction
In theory, a pump could suck water from a source located 10.33
meters lower than the pump's own installation level, but this does
not happen because the pump offers its own intrinsic flow
resistance, moreover the suction capacity is reduced as a result of
flow resistance in the piping, height difference, liquid temperature
and elevation above sea level.
A wrong choice in the altimetric placement of the pump could
lead to cavitation.
With reference to Fig. C and given Z as the maximum height at
which the pump can be installed, with reference to the level of the
liquid source the following can be stated:

With the meanings given in the above table it can be stated that:
If Z≥0 the pump can work with a maximum suction height equal
to Z.
If Z<0 the pump must be provided with an inlet pressure equal to
–Z.

[m]
Relative ambient humidity must not exceed 50% at +40°C.
WARNING
1000 meters above sea level, the motor must be derated (the
power it delivers must be decreased) to guarantee its proper
cooling. The motor may have to be replaced with a more powerful
one. Please check Fig.H and, when in doubt, please contact the
Sales and Service Department.
If the relative air humidity conditions are high, please contact the
Sales and Service Department.
Do not use the pump/electric pump unit in environments
that may contain flammable/explosive or chemically
aggressive gases or powders.
Provide adequate lighting and clearance around the pump/electric
pump unit. Make sure it is easily accessible for installation and
maintenance operations. Make sure that any fluid leaks or other
events of this nature will not lead to flooding of the installation
area and consequent submersion of the pump/electric pump unit.
If hot water is pumped, guarantee an
appropriate condition on the suction side to
