5 minHow to use the water pump
The pump dewaters trenches and excavations and handles water with the suspended solids typical on site. Priming and suction are the key.

- 01
Place near the water
The shorter and lower the suction hose, the better it primes. Firm, level ground.
- 02
Prime the casing
Fill the pump casing with water through the priming plug before starting. A dry-run pump gets damaged.
- 03
Strainer on the suction
Fit the strainer on the suction end so large stones and rags don't get in.
- 04
Start and check flow
Start and give it a few seconds: steady water should come out the discharge. If not, check for air leaks in the suction.
- 05
Route the discharge away
Send the water well away from the excavation so it won't return. Watch the level and switch off when done.
Do this
- Always prime the casing before starting.
- Keep suction joints well sealed (no air ingress).
- Choose the size (3" or 4") by flow and head.
Avoid this
- Don't run it dry, not even a minute.
- Don't suck without a strainer: you'll clog the impeller.
- Don't exceed the recommended suction lift.
Safety
- Hot exhaust: keep it ventilated, away from fuel.
- Mind hose runs across foot and equipment traffic.
- Gloves and boots when handling dirty site water.
