Solution Conumdrum Oct 29, 2009 There is a sticky on their web site. Can't find it. The pump can be upside down sideways etc. But CANNOT be where the impeller can trap air. Your way is fine. Inlet cannot be facing down, best to have the res/watersource above the inlet so water natually flows into the inlet, the center fitting . http://www.swiftnets.com/products/installationguide_MCP655.pdf
