PIPING
- To connect the piping, glue the pipes and the connectors, supplied together with the pump; the fitting
connections to the suction and return ports on the pump are threaded and include seals to prevent water
loss (Fig. 2).
- Fit the return pipes completely perpendicular and centred in relation to the port to be connected to prevent
the pump and the pipe from being subjected to external stress that, apart from making fitting difficult, could
break them (Fig. 2).
- Fit the suction piping on a slight 2% slope towards the pump to avoid the formation of air pockets (Fig. 2).
- To ensure the pump works correctly, prime the pump pre-filter until water rises up through the suction pipe
(Fig. 3).
LOCATION
- Fit the pump underneath the water level in the pool to improve pump performance.
- Where a self-priming pump is to be fitted above the water level, the pressure differential to the pump
suction should not be higher than 0.02 MPa (2 mH
as a longer pipe would increase suction time and the installation's load losses.
- Make sure that the pump is safe from possible flooding and receives dry ventilation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

- It is essential that you use a multiple disconnection device with a space of at least 3 mm between surfaces
to disconnect the equipment from the electrical current.
- Use a rigid cable to connect to the mains. If you use a flexible cable to connect to the mains, it must have
cable lugs to connect to the terminals of the pump motor.
- The equipment should be connected to an alternating current supply (see data on the pump's plate) with
earth connection, protected by a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not
exceeding 30 mA.
- Adjust the value of the thermal relay appropriately depending on the pump current.
- Before connecting the motor, check the type of fuse required.
- Check the correct layout and connection of the earthing cable in the equipment.
- Respect the electrical installation and connection conditions. Failure to do so may lead to the pump manu-
facturer declining all responsibility and rendering the guarantee null and void.
- Special regulations may exist for the installation.
- Unsuitable mains connections involve the risk of electrocution.
