4. Installing the product

4.1 Location

The pump is designed for indoor installation.
Always install the pump in an dry environment where it will not be
exposed to drops or splashes, for example water, from
surrounding equipment or structures.
As the pump contains stainless steel parts, it is important that it is
not installed directly in environments, such as:
• Indoor swimming pools where the pump would be exposed to
the ambient environment of the pool.
• Locations with direct and continuous exposure to a marine
atmosphere.
• In rooms where hydrochloric acid (HCl) can form acidic
aerosols escaping from, for example, open tanks or frequently
opened or vented containers.
The above applications do not disqualify for installation of
MAGNA3. However, it is important that the pump is not installed
directly in these environments.
To ensure sufficient cooling of motor and electronics, observe the
following requirements:
• Position the pump in such a way that sufficient cooling is
ensured.
• The ambient temperature must not exceed 104 °F (40 °C).
