Dry mounting Pumps

Although most of the pumps we supply are submersible most can also be used "dry mounted" That is to say they can be mounted outside the pool, by suitable pipe work. (not supplied)

This makes for easier servicing of the pump and flow control can be adjusted without getting wet. How ever in order to do this you do need two pipes, one an inlet pipe from the pool fitted with suitable strainer (we can supply these) the other runs to the nozzle.

But, in order to do this the pumps must be lower than the water level of the pool at all times.

With some pumps It is possible to use a foot valve and strainer but over time these have been known to collect small particles of dirt which stop the valve from working as it should (when used in open air lakes / fountains)  so we do not recommend their use in pools and fountains
