4.2.1 Flooded Suction
The pump is mounted at the base of the storage tank. This instal-
lation is the most trouble-free , and is recommended for very low
outputs, solutions that gasify, and high-viscosity solutions. Since
the suction tubing is lled with solution, priming is accomplished
quickly and the chance of losing prime is reduced.
When pumping downhill or into low or no pressure system, a
back pressure/anti-syphon device should be installed to prevent
overpumping or syphoning.
Although popular for all solutions, LMI recommends ooded
suction installations for all high-viscosity uid applications.
