Provide a separate suction line for each pump. The suction lines must not be con-
nected to each other!
ƒ
Install a foot valve at the lowest point in the suction line.
ƒ
Install a suction strainer upstream of the foot valve:
–
Diameter: at least 1.5 times the nominal diameter of the suction line
–
Grain/particle size: max. 5 mm
–
The suction strainer must be able to be cleaned without draining the water tank.

The priming device consists of: break tank, pipe with non-return valve descend-
