Where does the water pump go?

[Mike&Ali]

Doing a complete remodel and am wondering where the water pump goes in relation to the tank. I read somewhere that there is a specific location in relation to the tank (side, above, etc.). My tank will sit on the floor (64 safari).

Mine is bolted down on the floor near the outlet on the tank, connected by a short hose. What kind of water pump? Is it a vintage unit, or a regular new shur-flo type pump?

[Mike&Ali]

Yeah, it's a newer type - just a couple years old.

Those pumps will suck water up from several feet - they are self priming pumps so you can put it just about anywhere.

I would install it as close to the tank as possible, making sure it is easily accessible for maintenance and winterizing. Of course there is the wiring consideration as well. Longer wires and shorter suction is better in my opinion. It's easy to find a leak in the pressurized side of the system as opposed to the suction side.
