IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE SAFE, PROPER
AND ECONOMICAL OPERATION OF THE SWIMMING POOL PUMPS. STRICT OBSERVATION OF
THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WILL HELP TO AVOID DANGERS, REDUCE REPAIR COSTS,
SHUTDOWN TIMES AND INCREASE THE RELIABILITY AND WORKING LIFE OF THE PRODUCT.

•
Section 2
Application
Only to be used to circulate swimming pool water.
Section 3
Installation
• Install the pump as near to the pool as practical.
• Use a direct and short suction line with continuous slope in order to avoid long priming times.
• The pump should be placed on a flat, solid foundation, high enough to prevent flooding of the
motor.
• Install the filter and pump in a sheltered location, ensuring ventilation and adequate access for
servicing.
• Do not mount electrical controls directly over pump.
• Provide adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
• Size all piping adequately and keep the number of elbows to a minimum.
• Independently support the pipe near the suction and discharge of the pump in order to reduce the
strain.
• Avoid overtightening pipe connections. Use only pipe sealants formulated for plastics. Do not use
petroleum based products. It is essential that the suction line is free of air leaks. The suction line
should always be at least the same size as the suction inlet of the pump.
