4. Installation
Caution
The installation site of the pump must be dry and well
ventilated.
The size of the floor drain depends mainly on the size of
the swimming pool and the circulation flow rate but also
on possible leaks within the pool water circulation system.
The ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C. When
installed in a closed room, a drainage connected to the
sewers must be installed.
Caution
When the pump is installed outside, we recommend to
foresee a simple protection against the weather (rain,
sun etc.).
Caution
Implement appropriate measures to attenuate the noise
generated by the pump to avoid damage to the environment.
Fastening the pump to the foundation should be effected
exclusively by means of bolts, threads or dowels, in order to
avoid blocking the removal of the motor unit! Make sure that
there is enough space between fan cover and wall, minimum
50 mm. You also need enough space to permit disassembly
of the strainer basket, minimum 210 mm towards above.
The pump should be installed at water
level or below water level and in
horizontal position, in order to keep
the suction path as short as possible
and to reduce head losses. The Aqua
Plus is self-priming and should never
be installed more than 2 m above
water level. Make sure that the suction
line is not leaky, otherwise the pump
will prime insufficiently or not at all.
We recommend the installation of
check valves and shut-off valves,
according to the type of pump or plant.
The adhesive bonds at the suction
and pressure lines require more time
to cure, allow at least 12 hours before
starting the pump.
