If flooded suction mounting is not possible, a shelf adjacent to (but not directly above) the
supply tank often works well (see Figure 2). The supply tank or cover can also be used if
it has provisions for mounting a pump (see Figure 3). In any case, the total suction lift
should not exceed 5 ft (1.5m). See Figure 4 for reference.
