If the pump is not going to be used for long periods of time (e.g. 6 months), it should be emptied
completely, rinsed with clean water and stored in a dry, shaded place.
STORING THE PUMP
Pump curves are a great tool to understand your pumps performance capabilities. In relation to head
(metres) and flow (litres per minute). Pump curves can be interpreted by tracing your finger along the
head (metres) across to flow (litres per minute).
For example, in the pump performance curve below, you can see that if the Jet Pump VFB-J90 has a
discharge head between 24–31 metres, then the pump will produce 40–60 l/min.

Note:
The curve above represents the pump with the VFB-APC.
Note:
Should you require more specific information on your application for working out the
required discharge head or system duty, please contact a Reece specialty engineering or design
business unit.
