6.1Installation

The device must be positioned on a horizontal, flat surface that is suitable for the device
weight with water filling.
The device should not be bolted on but rather positioned on a resilient base to avoid
vibrations.
The place of installation should be well ventilated and protect against weather influences.
Protecting against frost - see section 8.3.
The device must be installed in a flood-proof location and secured against falling in for operation
in garden ponds and swimming pools. Additional statutory requirements must be taken into
consideration.
6.2Connecting the suction line
Caution! The suction line must be installed in such a way that no mechanical or twisting
forces are exerted on the pump. Caution! Use an intake filter to protect the pump against
sand and contamination.
Caution! The check valve is absolutely essential to prevent the water from draining
when the pump is switched off. We recommend the installation of check valves at the intake
opening of the suction hose and at the suction connection (12) of the pump. A check valve
may already be integrated depending on the model (see section 13. Technical Specifications).
Seal all fittings with thread seal tape (approx. 1015 windings in the thread direction). Leaks
result in the intake of air and reduce or prevent the intake of water.
The suction line should have an internal diameter of at least 1" (25 mm); it must be kink- and
vacuumresistant.
The suction line should be as short as possible because the longer the line length, the lower
the conveying capacity.
The suction line should rise uniformly towards the pump to prevent air pockets. An adequate
supply of water must be guaranteed and the end of the suction line should always be under
water.
6.3 Connecting the discharge line Caution! The discharge line must be installed in such
a way that no mechanical or twisting
forces are exerted on the pump. Note: HWWI..., HWAI... (Pumps with integrated filter): fill
the pump before connecting it (see section 6.7).
Seal all fittings with thread seal tape to prevent water leakage (approx. 10-15 windings in the
thread direction).
All discharge line components must be pressureresistant and installed correctly. Danger! The
discharge line can burst during operation if non-pressure-resistant
components are installed or they are assembled incorrectly. Injuries are possible if highly
pressurised fluids are ejected!
