Tips & Tricks:
Avoid using petroleum based lubricants and keep the pump hose supple by using silicone based lubricants.
Use your SP-3000 to pull water through an apparatus rather than pushing it through.
Use a check valve on the inlet side to enhance the self-priming nature of these pumps in situations where the pump is above the liquid source.
Under heavy use conditions, the pump hose should be replaced about every three months.
