Does the placement of the generator matter? Does it need to be placed next to pump and filter? Next to the Water return?

Yes. It needs to be place above or next to the return so the generated chlorine can be circulated through-out the pool.

No placement does not matter. I have a 20000 gallon in ground pool and it works as expected keeping the clorine levels constant. The unit does not work when the water temp is below 65 degrees so I use liquid clorination as needed during the winter here is SoCal.

No, it's a completely separate unit and can be placed anywhere in the pool.
224846
No it can be anywhere... There is a requirement to keep it so many feet (I think it was 12) from the transformer. But you can put it anywhere as long as the extension cable (supplied) reaches I keep it about 15 feet from the skimmer and return

Mine was installed close to the electrical connection and where the minimum distance to cut the trench for the wires . my pool stays very clear with this system.

Nope! I made the mistake. I put this on a 5kw generator with 11hp motor. The flow with gravity feed is such a slight trickle that the unit starves for gas in just a few minutes. It's obviously for a system with a fuel pump. It does however appear to be better made than similar filters I've used on pumped systems so the few I bought won't go to waste.

The size of the generator is not figured on the square feet of the structure, but rather on the amperage load of the equipment at the structure. ie... heat pump, ref., freezer, ceiling fans,....ect. If you have more questions my husband can answer them for you. Also our house is over 3200 square feet. It will run ours.

I would install a leaf filter on the downspout with a diverter to keep from filling the system too fast. About once a year I would open the top and inspect the inside. If there is a lot of debris, consider using a shop vac to clear the material from the reservoir.

As long as you have the volume of water flow, I can't see why it would matter. Unless, when the softner is cycling it causes some kind of restricted flow?? It would be best to contact Basepump company if possible. I'm still very satisfied with Basepump's flow rate as compared to other cheaper water backup pumps.

With the motor on top, and the pump at the bottom, the inlet should be on the left hand side. Outlet should be on the right.There are small arrows cast into the plastic diaghram housing of the pump.

The filter is in the water reservoir area. Refer to your instruction book for a picture.

The idea is to put the coned "cage" under the collected water. It can be upright, but it will leave several inches of water if it is not on its side, or lying with the cone facing down. Just remember to do ALL moving of the pump using the hose, and NOT the electrical cord. Lastly, NEVER touch the water when the pump is plugged in.

The water discharge be moved to either a side or upright position depending on your needs. The seller sent me the instructions and was not difficult . Great pump and savings as i have had 2 years .

i just have a more powerful filter/pump attached which keeps the water agitated but for adding a ramp & a pump for current? I don't believe thats a good idea. Top inflatable ring needs a air replenishment every week or so to keep it semi rigid. Pool is fine for a few kids or just floating on a air mattress

As you face the machine, it will come out of the right side. Mine actually blows toward some house plants I have and they have benefited from it. BTW I run this 24/7 and it performs like a champ! I have mine draining into a 5 gal bucket and I can't believe all the water it removes from the air in the house...great for here in damp Oregon. Regards, JWM

If all you want to do is move water, as in a water fall you wouldn't need a filter. I have a filter on the out put end of my pump and it pushes the water right on through it, then one at the top of the falls and it still moves a very impressive amount of water. I don't see how you could put a filter in front of it, anyway. Take a look at the shape in the picture.

Yes you need the air pump too, the circulator on make the water move around .

no, there seems to be a small generator powered bu the water force..my grown boys, their friends, and i have them. so far ive ordered about 9, love them and tje price. my son says the shower is even better.

I have only brought the Intex 1500 Gallon Filter Pump. I do have to use my time that I brought additionally. The filter works well. I have brought 2 extra ones over the years. I finally realized to put the good one in the shelter, and put the old one in its place so the water will not run out of the hole over the winter.

I have mine positioned so the top of the heater is level (just under) the water fairly close to the filter system. So the cord is going over the rear of the tank. And I used zip ties to connect the heater cord and the filter cord together running straight down the back of the tank.

Filters go after the pump but you could put a strainer before the pump. A strainer will keep damaging things like rocks from getting into the pump.
