pump board question
« on: December 03, 2012, 07:41:47 pm »
bought a pump board from cleaning warehouse wolverhampton looks a great bit of kit and came really quick. might be a stupid question but the strainer is on the left of pump and inlet on the right of pump can i reverse this without effecting the pump. hope this makes sense

the strainer has to be on the inlet side to catch dirt before it enters pump

cheers bob but what i mean is can move the strainer to the other side the pump, just to make it easier to connect to the tank.

Confused.....the strainer needs to be on the other side (inlet side) anyway.
Its meant to stop rubbish going into your pump so pretty pointless after the pump.....?
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

said it might be stupid question lol. what im trying to say i suppose is can i run the water from tank either side of pump or must it go one side or the other. so there just one inlet and one outlet and you cant swop them about.

Oooohh :)

Water will only draw from the inlet mate. You want it to be : tank - strainer - pump (inlet)

I like the look of it. It isn't scarey at all.

No. The £40 also includes connecting it, so if like me you are a liitle afraid of screwing up something like this, then £40 seems a relatively small fee. You wouldn't believe it though. Someone paid me £45 to clean their windows today. They could have done it themselves for nothing!
