A 140mm mouth skimming 3mm of water moves far less than the same pump drawing freely from a submerged strainer, because at that depth you are handling a thin film rather than a solid column of water. On a serious flood, run the pump on its standard strainer while there is depth to work with, then swap to the floor tool for the last few inches. That is the fastest way through the job and the easiest on the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep the suction lift short.\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit will pull from up to \u003cstrong\u003e6 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e below the pump, but \u003cstrong\u003e4 metres or less is what we recommend\u003c\/strong\u003e. Every extra metre of lift makes priming slower and less certain, and takes the pump closer to the point where the water starts to break out of solution in the suction line rather than flowing. Setting the pump lower is always better than fitting a longer hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep the suction hose straight.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bends and kinks on the suction side cost you more than the same bends on the discharge, because the suction line is working against atmospheric pressure rather than with the pump behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrime before you start.\u003c\/strong\u003e These are self-priming pumps, which means they can clear air out of the suction line once the casing is wet. It does not mean they start dry. Fill the pump casing through the priming plug before the first start, every time.

For comparison, a standard strainer on the same pump leaves several inches, and a mains-powered puddle sucker such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/products\/stream-spk530-puddle-sucker\"\u003eSPK530\u003c\/a\u003e gets to 1 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I really move it while the engine is running?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and that is the main reason to own it. Lift the tool, move to the next puddle and set it down without stopping the engine. Keep the moves brisk and the hose low so the suction line does not drain back completely, and the pump picks up again as soon as the tool is wetted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow high can the pump sit above the water?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to \u003cstrong\u003e6 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e of suction lift, though \u003cstrong\u003e4 metres or less is what we recommend\u003c\/strong\u003e. Priming gets slower and less reliable the higher the pump sits. If you have a choice, move the pump down rather than adding hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it replace the standard strainer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The strainer is built into the floor tool, and the kit comes with its own 4 m suction hose, so you swap the suction side over. Keep the original strainer, because for ordinary pumping out of a chamber, a ditch or a tank it is still the right fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it pump as fast as the pump normally does?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and it is not meant to. Skimming a 3 mm film through a 140 mm mouth moves considerably less water than drawing freely from a submerged strainer. Use the pump normally while there is depth to work with, then fit the floor tool for the residue. That gets the floor dry faster than using the tool for the whole job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a discharge hose included?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The kit covers the suction side only, so you use your existing delivery hose. For a long discharge run, bear in mind that \u003cstrong\u003ebore matters more than length\u003c\/strong\u003e: our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/pages\/hose-pipe-friction-loss-calculator\"\u003epump performance calculator\u003c\/a\u003e will show you what a given run costs you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it indoors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe floor can be indoors. The pump cannot. Site the pump outside in fresh air and run the 4 m suction hose in through a door or window, because a petrol engine in an enclosed space produces lethal carbon monoxide. If the pump itself has to be in the room, you need an electric submersible instead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsurumi Pumps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56381096984955,"sku":null,"price":187.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/0857\/4015\/files\/Petrol_Driven_Water_Transfer_Pump_Kit_Honda_WX10_residue_kit.jpg?v=1786967863","url":"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/products\/residue-pumping-kit-floor-tool-25mm-petrol-pumps","provider":"Flood \u0026 Water Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
