  2. Priming the Pump (if required):

    Follow your pump's specific instructions for priming. Many pumps require manual priming before operation to ensure efficient water transfer.

  3. Start the Pump:

    Initiate pump operation according to the pump manufacturer's guidelines. Monitor the flow to ensure proper function.

  4. Monitor Connections:

    Periodically check all hose connections for leaks during operation. Tighten any loose connections as needed.

  5. Shut Down:

    When finished, turn off the pump. Allow any remaining water to drain from the hoses before disconnecting.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning:

    After each use, flush both hoses with clean water to remove any debris or residues. This is especially important if transferring chemicals or slurry.

  • Inspection:

    Regularly inspect hoses for cuts, abrasions, or signs of wear. Check the strainer for blockages or damage. Inspect cam and groove adapters for proper sealing and latching mechanisms.

  • Storage:

    Store hoses in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil hoses neatly to prevent kinks and damage. Ensure the strainer is clean and dry before storage.

  • Temperature Range:

    Avoid operating or storing the hoses outside the recommended working temperature range of -5℃ to 65℃ (23°F to 149°F) to prevent material degradation.
