Is it a diaphram or impeller type pump. Washdowns are usually diaphram self priming and therefore doest matter which way they are mounted above water line. I dont know anything about 'tubes, would imagine they need a reasonable volume go thru. Diaphram are usually more high pressure lower volume (????) The spec in the instructions will give the details mounting and wiring size requirements... and can download |

| Steps if you don't know anything about it don't post anything but instead you have to be an expert on everything and piss everyone off. |

So pump installed, and works great. To get forum back to what it was, we need to contribute. A wealth of information out there. Usually what I want to do has been done has been done by some one on the forum.  ------------- Those that say it can't be done are being overtaken by those doing it. |
