[C320-list] Does your bilge pump suck

[KEN GEIGER]

Regards an anti return valve, do not know for sure but I think not.  Recall flow back when pump shuts off.

Oddly, its spec is inferior to the ParMax4, with a flow rate of 13L/min compared to 16L/min, and self prime to 2m instead of 2.5m for the ParMax4. But I guess it’s a more reliable and proven design.  Quick question - do you have a non-return valve fitted to the inlet hose at the bilge?  I don’t and it is not mentioned in the installation instructions, but it would clearly help to keep the system primed.
