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.
