How to connect pump for weipro outside tank?

[blueheaven]

I know this question has been asked before but it did not get to many replies.

So can anyone PLEASE have a big heart to explain in detail on how to connect the pump, what materials are needed. It would be better if pictures are included.

I am sure this will benefit current and future Weipro users.

What pump are you using?

[blueheaven]

i intending to get a weipro 2000 but i think its almost the same for the other pumps

where's the confusion in that? you just need the standard hoses or pipes, depending on your own setup. as long as the input is in the water isn't it? but you you need to prime the pump otherwise it won't work. priming a pump above water is a god damn challenge(to me)

what i meant was the pump OUTSIDE the water

[terryansimon]

inlet hose clip it to the inside of the tank by holding it down with a suction cup or something.

get a hose, disconnect sponge or something on the weipro, and plug a hose in. bring hose back into tank and hold it down with a suction cup.

easy right?

but I don't know if Weipro can be used externally. known to become very hot and there is a reason why it is submerged.

yes, i was refering to outside water. you connect pipes or hose to the input on the pump, and 1 end of the pipes connected to the input has to be under the water surface, for obvious reasons. i don't see any difficulties of confusion for this few steps. the problem is only after you've done the piping, and facing priming.

terry: it doesn't get hot at all. maybe a little warm. just a little.

[blueheaven]

terry, ur method dosn't seem to incorporate a pump?

[terryansimon]

.

it does.

inlet to pump. pump outlet to weipro. logical mah this one. no need to say one.
