Figure 6. Load Tank At Strainer With System Pump And Floating Strainer.
NOTE
Air must be able to float continuously up suction hose toward water distributor pump while
loading tank to avoid loss of pumping action when accumulated "slugs" of air pull through.
11.
Connect suction hose (Figure 6, Item 3) to connection point C1 (Figure 6, Item 6). Before locking connector
levers, rotate hose if necessary so floating strainer is level in water rather than tipping sideways.
12.
Open valve V5 (Figure 7, Item 7).
