The delivery head i.e. the vertical
distance between the pump and
the point of discharge should not
exceed distance specified for your
pump (see Specifications, page

When suction lift is used to draw
water into the pump it is essential
that all connections and hoses are
1.
With the pump, all inlet pipes/hoses and the foot valve in position, slowly pour
water into the outlet port. Wait until all air is expelled...this may take a minute
or two...and fill to the brim before connecting the outlet hose to the outlet
port. The hose is then led away to the water filter.
2.
Switch on the pump. Water should start to flow through the system.
Check for leaks and repair as necessary

inlet side of the pump.
The delivery head i.e. the vertical
distance between the pump outlet
and the point of discharge should
not exceed distance specified for
your pump (see Specifications, page 7).
To prevent unnecessary strain or possible distortion to the pump, ensure that
adequate support is provided to the hoses and/or pipes. Remember they will be
considerably heavier when filled with water.
Remember - this pump is designed for pumping CLEAN WATER with small solids in
suspension, ONLY. DO NOT USE for pumping chemicals or other corrosive liquids
(other than pool purification chemicals in their correct mix ratio).
Protect the pump and pipework from
freezing.
The formation of ice may cause
serious damage.
NOTE: For the fitting of filters/strainers, please consult the manufacturers manual.
