Installation It is preferable to fit stop valves before and after the pump, this will enable the pump to be removed for maintenance without having to drain the spa. Most installations will have a filter of some description. If so it may be fitted on the inlet side of the pump; however it is recommended that it be fitted on the outlet side of the pump (pressure filter). If the filter is fitted on the inlet side it there is a distinct possibility that the water lock will be lost and that the pump may fail to prime on restart if an attempt is made to fit a cartridge type filter (on the inlet) it may result in restricted water flow, premature cartridge failure and / or other problems. A cartridge filter should be regarded as a pressure filter only. Poor design of the spa (inlet/s too high), allowing air to enter on low water levels, may also lead to this problem. Air in the system may lead to pump damage and / or heater damage Finally when installing any pool, spa or bath it is important to ensure that the pool, spa or bath is clean and free of any particles. Leaves, pine needles, grit, scoria, sand and other similar matter, if allowed to enter the pump, can cause considerable... -
Page 6: Starting The Pump
Starting the Pump To operate efficiently and prevent pump damage there must be a free flow of water to and from the pump. Before starting ensure that: - all pipework is correctly sealed. - the pool/spa water level is at the correct height. - that all appropriate valves are open and there is nothing preventing the flow of water through the system. 1. First prime the pump by ensuring that the pump is below the water level of the spa pool. -

Warning! Ensure that an electrical isolation switch is located with easy access so that the pump can be switched off in an emergency. Pipe Connection The MaxiFlow pumps are non-self priming; this means that the pump must be mounted below the minimum water line. This MaxiFlow pump is designed to be operated with 50mm diameter pipe-work. To get best performance ensure that there are a minimum number of bends in the pipe-work. It is preferable to use flexible piping in order to get the best performance. The plumbing should have no restrictions that will impede or restrict the water flow. - Page 8 POWER CONNECTIONS AND WIRING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORISED ELECTRICIAN. DANGER - Hazardous suction. Do not block water entry into filtration system with any part of your body as the pressure can trap hair or body parts, causing severe injury or death. Do not block suction.
