SET-UP & INSTALLATION (cont.)
Positioning the Hose or Pipe
• Position the input hose or pipe so that it rises from the water drawing source to the pump. Avoid
positioning the input hose or pipe higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air bubbles
from the input hose or pipe and impede the priming process (see section ‘starting the pump’ for
description on priming the pump) (Fig. 5-7).
