WARNING
Never adjust the pump flow by attaching a valve to the intake or outlet side of the
pump. Restricting the flow in this way can cause the pump to overheat, creating
extreme pressure inside the pump volute. Explosion of the pump volute and serious
personal injury may result.
6.
As the pump operates, avoid running the intake side of the pump dry. Air from the intake side of the pump may
cause cavitation, causing damage to the pump impeller. The intake hose must be kept four to five times the hose
diameter (4-5 x 6” = 24-30” [61-76 cm]) below the surface of the liquid being pumped.

Use the table below for approximate flow rates for the 6” pump.
