6.2. pUMp pLAcEMENt

For best pump performance, place the pump set near the water level, and use hoses that are no longer
than necessary. That will enable the pump set to produce the greatest output with the least self-priming
time.
As head increases, pump set output decreases, the length, type and size of the suction and discharge
hoses can also significantly affect pump output. Minimizing suction head (placing the pump set near the
water level) is also very important for reducing self-priming time.
