SUCTION HOSE INSTALLATION
Use a commercially available hose and hose connector with the hose clamp
provided with the pump. The suction hose must be reinforced with a
non-collapsible wall or braided wire construction.
Do not use a hose smaller than the pump’s suction port size. Minimum hose size:
HYDROBLASTER 1.8 High Pressure =33.25 mm (1”)
The suction hose should be no longer than necessary. Pump performance is best
when the pump is near the water level, and the hoses are short.
Use a hose clamp to securely fasten the hose connector to the suction hose in
order to prevent air leakage and loss of suction. Verify that the hose connector
sealing washer is in good condition.
Install the strainer (provided with the pump) on the other end of the suction hose,
and secure it with a hose clamp. The strainer will help to prevent the pump from
becoming clogged or damaged by debris.
Securely tighten the hose connector on the pump suction port.
