Installation

PUMPING FROM LAKES, PONDS OR
SMALL STREAMS

1. Locate pump as close as possible to

the water source, keeping the verti-
cal distance from the water to
pump as small as possible. Place
pump on level support. Protect
against flooding and excessive
moisture.

2. Long lengths of pipe or hose and

use of many fittings will reduce
pump flow. Use the smallest num-
ber of fittings and shortest possible
length of pipe or hose.

3. Be sure water is clear of debris such

as sand, mud, and gravel.

4. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump.

The inlet connection is designed for
1" NPT thread. Rigid pipe such as
PVC will work fine for inlet and
outlet pipe. (Reminder: Minimize
length of pipe and number of fit-
tings.) An adapter for garden hose
is included (see Figure 1).
