Drafting  

Before you draft 

Pumps should not be run dry, and therefore the pump ends require priming prior to 
operation. Use this procedure if you are drafting water from an open tank or natural water 
source.  
To maintain optimum performance from your pump, follow these recommendations for 
selecting and installing your suction hose or pipe: 

  Use the shortest length possible, i.e., place the pump as close to the water as 

possible. 

  Select reinforced crush resistant (non-collapsible) hose or pipe. 

  Make sure that all pipes have air tight fittings. 

  To avoid air locks, flexible hose should rise gently from the water source to the 

suction/inlet port without excessive dips, bumps, sharp angles or rise in its lay. 

  Pipes should be equal to or larger than the diameter of the suction/inlet port. 

  Suction strainers should be fitted to prevent foreign matter from entering the 

pump. 

  Where practicable, the installation and use of a suction float will aid in the 

performance of your pump, by keeping suction away from the debris on the 
bottom of the dam or river. 

  Ensure that the suction hose is completely submersed. 

Limitations 

Several factors can affect the pump’s ability to efficiently draft water. The following 
limitations should be taken into account. 

  Water temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F) can cause noticeable loss in pump 

performance. 

  Barometric pressures below 98 kPa (29 in of Hg) can also cause noticeable loss 

in pump performance (specifically elevations >2000 feet above sea level). 

  Pump performance curves are based off a 5 foot lift (top of water source to 

impeller center). Lifts greater than 5 feet will decrease the pump’s performance. 

  Hose and strainer sizes that are too restrictive can significantly decrease the 

pump’s performance. 

  Intake hose runs in excess of 10 feet can also reduce pump performance. 

Drafting connections 

1.  Connect a suction line to the pump intake. 
2.  Install a footvalve suction strainer on the other end of the suction hose and place in 

the water source. 

Note:

 

To provide proper operation of the pump, the suction hose/strainer should be submerged 
a minimum of 4 to 6 times the hose diameter into the water source. 

 

DO NOT

 allow footvalve strainer to rest on bottom of lake or riverbed. Check strainer 

frequently to make sure that it is not clogged with moss, leaves, etc. 

 

DO NOT

 lift strainer from water while the pump is operating. Use a rope or other means to 

keep strainer at proper height, approximately 1 foot (30 cm) below water surface. If 
strainer is too close to the water surface, it will draw air and pump may lose prime.
