Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can the FX Series be used as a standard filtration pump?
The FX Series is designed for flooded suction setups and lacks a strainer basket. It’s best used for booster systems, not as a direct filter pump replacement.
Q2: What does “flooded suction” mean?
It means the pump sits below the water level, allowing water to flow into the pump under natural gravity without priming.
Q3: Can this pump be installed outdoors?
Yes — all FX models are weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor installation in protected or shaded areas.
