Install the pump at a suitable distance from the pool to reduce the distance between the suction point
and the pump as much as possible to avoid pointless excessive pressure drops on the hydraulic circuit.
However, it is essential to comply with the safety distance required by the current installation standard
(3.5 metres minimum). Install and use the product at an altitude less than 2000m
Install the pump in a dry, well-ventilated place. The motor requires the air to circulate freely around it to
allow natural ventilation. Check regularly that no objects, leaves or other debris are blocking the motor
cooling system.
The pump must be installed to ensure that the external disconnection switch incorporated into the fixed
unit is visible and easily accessible. The switch must be located near to the pump.
The pump must be permanently installed on a concrete base using 8mm lag screws suitable for
concrete, screwed into drilled implantation holes. Lock washers must be used to prevent the installation
lag screws working loose over time. If the pump has to be mounted on a wooden board, Ø 8mm
hexagonal wood screws must be used combined with lock washers to prevent the screws working loose
over time.
The acoustic pressure of KRIPSOL pumps is less than 70dB (A).
Necessary measures:
• Connect the pump to the earth: Never operate the pump unless it is connected to the earth.
• Connect the pump with a H07RN-F 3G1mm² type cable (D max 7,8mm)
• Include a 30mA differential protection to protect people against electric shocks which may be caused by
a breach of the equipment's electrical insulation.
• Include short-circuit protection (the rating is determined according to the value given on the nameplate
on the motor).
• Include a means of disconnection from the power supply having an opening distance on the contacts
of all the poles ensuring the power supply is completely cut off under the conditions of a category III
overvoltage.
Three phase electric motor:
Check the running direction of the pump motor (a label is provided on the motor housing to indicate
the motor running direction).
If so required by regulations and whatever the motor type, in addition to the devices mentioned above,
it is also necessary to install a thereto-magnetic protective device calibrated in accordance with the
indications on the motor name-plate.
The table on page 57 indicates the various characteristics of the motors fitted to our pumps.
