The filter must be installed as close as possible to the pump,
it must be easily inspected and must have the following
characteristics:
1. Minimum flow rate at least 3 times the nominal flow rate
of the pump.
2. Inlet/outlet port diameters no smaller than the inlet port
diameter of the pump.
3. Filtration grade between 200 and 360 µm.
10. Make sure the suction line is thoroughly clean inside
before connecting it to the pump.
11. Install the pressure gauge for checking the booster
pressure near the plunger pump suction port and again
downstream from the filters.
