Connection to a tank (gravity-feed)
The connection must comply with the recommendations provided.
1) The pump must be installed in a position below the tank intake (with positive head).
2) The tank must have baffles to prevent water splashes and its capacity must be at least 10 times greater than
the pump's rated displacement.
3) The vacuum measured directly at the pump intake port must not exceed 0.1 bar and the water temperature
must not be above 30 °C.
4) Adopt all the precautions described in the "General Guidelines on Water Connections" section.
The following is a simplified illustration of the layout for connection of the pump to a tank.

Connection to an auxiliary pump (force-feed)
The connection must comply with the recommendations provided.
1) The auxiliary pump must have a flow rate twice the high pressure pump's rated delivery rate and an
operating pressure of 2 - 3 bar.
2) Adopt all the precautions described in the "General Guidelines on Water Connections" section.
The following is a simplified illustration of the layout for connection of the pump to an auxiliary pump.
