5. INCORRECT SETUP
4. RECOMMENDED SETUP
INSTALLATION
WARNING!
THE INPUT HOSE OR PIPE SHOULD BE
LOW ENOUGH IN THE WATER TO ENSURE THAT IF
THE WATER LEVEL FALLS, THE PUMP WILL NOT RUN DRY.
ENSURE THAT THIS IS CHECKED WHEN IN OPERATION.
Positioning the hose or pipe
The suction line should be as short as possible, since the conveying
capacity decreases as the length of the line increases.
Note:
A leaking hose or pipe will draw in air and therefore not draw in
any water.
Note:
A non-return valve is recommended so that the water does not
run off when the pump is shut off.
Note:
A suction in-line filter with a 3000l/hour min flow rate, and 150 to
250 micron mesh must be used to protect the pump from sand, dirt etc.
The Ozito PAPF-001 Pre-filter or equivalent is available from Bunnings
stores.
Note:
During the initial set-up, please purge all air from the system via
the discharge outlet highest in the system.
Recommended set-up
WARNING!
TO ENSURE CORRECT PUMP OPERATION
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT A SUCTION IN-LINE FILTER BE
USED FOR A CLEAN WATER SUPPLY.
