1.) Make sure the water supply is clean. Debris can cause excess pump wear and reduce performance.

2.) An insufficient water supply will damage your pump. Make sure the water supply is steady and is 20% over the rated flow of your pump. Use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to fill a 5-gallon bucket with your garden hose. It should take less than 62 seconds.

3.) The water supply garden hose must have an inside diameter of at least 5/8”. If the hose is more than 100 ft. long, the diameter must be at least 3/4”.

4.) Always use a flexible rubber hose for your water supply. Do not use rigid piping.
