can pump be mounted for horizontal flow?

As long as the motor (The can part) is not mounted in the up position, yes. The motor is water lubricated and must not be mounted up or the bearings will burn out dry. The picture here shows the motor in the up position. Any other position will work. The instructions will show this warning.

It should be mounted vertically! It won't work well horizontally. Sorry for the late response---we are visiting relatives in Sweden.

As long as the "INPUT" end receives water. the "OUTPUT" end will push water. Short answer, "YES."

Yes you can; providing the water tank (which is VERY heavy when full of water) is placed on something higher than the highest shelf. It's a gravity feed system- there are no "pumps".

Yes, I will work either way. I mounted mine horizontally, but the brackets that come with it will hold it in either orientation. You might have to put something for it to rest on as it will be heavier when full of water. It would be best to mount it so the bulb could be withdrawn upward (less spillage if you were ti have to remove the end cap) the internal quartz tube should not leak with the oring and threaded cap in place.

Hi Sharon,the answer is no,you have to buy pump with vertical float switch,I hope this will help you.

Drawback to these is they cannot be mounted horizontal, they leak a lot 100% of the time when installed sideways. There is another nipple available on Amazon that looks similar but does not leak when installed horizontally.

I mounted mine horizontal rather than vertical like the picture. Has worked great. No issues.

Horizontal does not affect the head pressure. It should be able to do horizontal and vertical just fine.

Yes, you can place the mounting bracket for the pump behind to drink bottle holder. It fits best against the seat post tube hanging vertical.

I just went up to the barn where I keep my boat and Checked for you. Yes you can. The metal "spring" has a circle that the cup sits in and you can move the cup and water fitting so you can use the cups horizontal. Will work just fine. I really like the prodict. Very well made. Worth the money!! Hope this helped you. Wilton

This is a suction type pump all of the pump is in the part you see in the picture, This pump is made to pump out of shallow aquifers or out of a water storage system, that is under it. If your asking about horizontal, a pipe could most likely be 5 miles long horizontaly level, and if it was full of water NO AIR in it and the rise was not more than 20 feet it would probably pump out of it with out problems. to the pump for the most part all it is seeing is the height or the distance/depth to water, (a check valve/foot valve, should be used to keep the suction pipe full, The pump will only pump water out of the spout of the pump, as there is no seal or way of attaching a pipe to the pump to pump above the unit,

I don't plan to mount it in a horizontal position, but, I don't see why you couldn't. It should be fine mounted horizontally.

Yeah, it can, and is recommended, be set horizontally. I choose not to put mine horizontal, because my tank is divided and it wouldn't fit. But it says on the instructions when you get it that it is recommended to be placed horizontally.

YES: I just emailed 3M Filtrete asking if I could mount this horizontally. There answer they gave verbatim is "Thank you for contacting 3M, where we Apply Science to Life, Construction & Home Improvement Markets Division. The Filtrete(TM) Standard and Advanced Under-Sink Water Filtration Systems can be mounted horizontally. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-388-3458. We are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 - 5:00 CT."

It does but probably not a good idea. After starting the compressor on its horizontal position, I lifted it until it was vertical. No problem, but definitely more vibration and felt unstable. Looking at the parts diagram, you'll see that all the moving parts are up high when in the vertical position. The pump assembly mounts (rubber feet) are also designed for horizontal run only. So, I guess the answer is yes but don't do it.

Mine is mounted vertically with the water coming in the bottom but I don't see why it couldn't be the other way.

Nope, if hidden properly it would actually be very nice, might want to go with a pump rated for larger than 100 gal so you get a nice flow

typically horizontal pumping is negligible, vertical pumping is where any pump typically loses power. I use this pump for more than 13 ft vertically, and my discharge sometimes runs 60 ft plus horizontally.
