1 Introduction
The EIP12 self-priming pump is can be used for
bilge water and as a deck wash pump.
Following the recommendations below will re-
sult in a longer life and better performance of
your water pressure pump.
Do not use the pump for gasoline, solvents,
thinners, highly concentrated or organic acids.
This may lead to a leathal explosion.
Do not run dry for more than 30 seconds. Lack
of liquid will burn the impeller and damage the
seal.
If the fuse fails repeatedly, never use a heavier
fuse or short-circuit the fuse connection.
• Be sure to use the correct voltage. Only use
cables with the correct cross sectional area
to prevent unacceptable voltage drop.
• Keep the pump in good condition and carry
out the maintenance as described.
2 Installation

2.2 Position
• See '9 Installation recommendations' on
page 22.
Consider the following when placing the
pump.
1 The pump may be positioned at or above
liquid level. The maximum priming
height is is 1 m (3.3 ft).
2 The maximum suction line length (hori-
zontally) is 9 m (30 ft).
3 The pump can be mounted in any posi-
tion.
• The pump should be 1 cm (3/8") free all round
from bulkheads or other equipment, to pro-
vide ventilation. Do not locate the pump in a
space less than 30 dm
adequate ventilation is provided.
• In case of overheating the integrated ther-
mal protection will interrupt operation.
When cooled down sufficiently the pump
will resume operation.
• Position the pump and its connections in
such a way that they are readily accessible
for inspection and maintenance.
• Make sure that the foundation for the pump
is strong enough to secure it properly.
• Do not overtighten or use oversized screws
to fit the pump to the foundation to mini-
mize transfer of vibration and noise.
2.3 Connections
Always use high quality connection materials
and hoses. Check our website or contact your
local Vetus dealer for more information.
Never connect the pump directly to rigid tub-
ing. Always connect it using short sections of
hose.
