Solution 2 Recommended

How To

Highly recommend, -as it has a foot valve, therefore the pump is fully primed at all times.

How To

If any sand build in the foot valve the suction line can be pulled out and the foot valve on the bottom can be cleaned and easily reinstalled.

How To

The suction line is a standard poly line pipe approx 25-32mm, with a non return valve fitted at the bottom.the advantages of this installation is-

How To1 - The pump is always primed.

2- Easy Installation and removal.

3 - Non return valve easily removed and cleaned.
