OPERATION
PUMP PLACEMENT
For best pump performance, place the pump near the water level, and use hose
that are no longer than necessary. That will enable the pump to produce the
greatest output with the least self-priming time.
As head (pumping height) increases, pump output decrease. The length, type,
and size of the suction and discharge hoses can also significantly affect pump
output.
Minimizing suction head (placing the pump near the water lever) is also very
important for reducing self-priming time. Self-priming time is the time it takes the
pump to bring water the distance of the suction head during initial operation.
