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).
