•  Locate the pump as near the fluid source as possible in 

order to minimize the length of suction line.

•  Mount motor base to a secure, immobile foundation.

Installation

•  The pipe fittings should be self-supported and in neutral 

alignment with each port. (i.e. Fittings must not be forced 
into alignment which may cause premature line failure or 
damage to the pump volute).

•  Never restrict the intake. Keep both input and discharge 

lines as free of elbows and valves as possible. Always use 
pipe of adequate diameter. This will reduce friction losses 
and maximize output (Ex. 1).

Electrical Hook-Up

•  Check that supply voltages match the motor’s 

requirements.

•  Check motor wiring and connect, according to 

instructions on motor, to match supply voltage.

•  Verify motor rotation with rotation meter. Incorrect rotation 

can cause serious damage to pump and/or motor. 
Aquascape does not recommend checking rotation by 
quickly switching power on and off because serious 
damage can occur.
