Insert Pump is used to place a pump into the currently viewed floor plan. When the insert pump button is selected, there will be many options of pump types with different makes and models.

It is recommended that before you insert the pump, that you've drawn the suction pipe up until where you'd like the pump you're inserting to be connected to.

Summary

• Draw suction pipe up until approximately where you'd like the pump to be connected.
• Click the Insert Pump button.
• Click the tab at the top of the dialog box according to what pump type you want.
• From the pulldown list, select the exact pump you're looking for.
• Info will be automatically entered according to the pump selected.
  • You can manually edit these values if need be.
• Once your pump has been selected, press 'Ok' to insert it into the floor plan.
• Once the pump is inserted, rotate the pump so its inlet lines up with the suction pipe.
• Drag the suction connector of the pump onto the suction pipe so the inlet and the suction pipe connects.
• Once the pump is inserted and connected to the suction, it can be moved horizontally and vertically to be placed on the pump pad - and the pipes will stay connected.
