TYPE OF WATER
If any liquid contains stringy or large material that may cause obstruction, in which case, a
suction strainer should be used. If the pump is needed for chemicals, you must check the
pump compatibility with your local dealer.
FIXED INSTALLATIONS
In some installations and only if the pump is used under stressful conditions, such as
pumping uphill for long distances, the pump may not work on start up.
To rectify this, a check valve should be installed between the pump and the pipe and a
gate valve should be installed on the pump discharge. If it still fails, open the valve to
release a full flow of water and close it again. It should now pump fully. Under some
conditions the procedure might have to be repeated at each start up.
