Plumbing

3.1.1 Preparation Information
1. Upon receipt of the pump, check the carton for
damage. Open the carton and check the pump for
concealed damage, such as cracks, dents or a bent
base. If damage is found, contact the shipper or
distributor where the pump was purchased.
2. Inspect the contents of the carton and verify
that all parts are included. See Section 7.1,
Replacement Parts List and Exploded View.
3.1.2 Pump Location
CAUTION
For Canadian installation, this pump carries a Type
3R enclosure rating and therefore is not intended for
installation in areas subjected to windblown dust.
1. Zodiac recommends installing the pump within one
(1) foot above water level. Refer to Figure 2 for a
typical installation. The pump should not be elevated
more than a few feet above the water level of the
pool. A check valve is recommended on the suction
line to the pump.
WARNING
To Reduce the Risk of Fire, install pool equipment in
an area where leaves or other debris will not collect
on or around the equipment. Keep surrounding area
clear of all debris such as paper, leaves, pine-needles
and other combustible materials.
WARNING
Some Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS) devices
are not compatible with the installation of check valves.
If the pool has an SVRS device, be sure to confirm
that it will continue to safely operate when any check
valves are installed.
NOTE To achieve better self-priming, install the
pump as close as possible to the water level
of the pool.
2. If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both the suction and
return lines to prevent back flow of pool water during
any routine or required servicing.
3. The pump and other circulation equipment must
be located more than five (5) feet from the water.
Choose a location that will minimize turns in the
piping.
NOTE In Canada, the pump must be located a minimum
of three (3) meters (approximately 10 feet) from
the water (CSA C22.1).
ENGLISH
4. The pump should be installed on a firm, solid, and
level surface to avoid risk of settlement. Do not use
sand to level the pump as sand will wash away. Check
local building codes for any additional requirements
(Ex. Equipment pads in Florida must be concrete and
equipment must be secured to the pad.)
NOTE Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends bolting
the pump directly to the foundation.
5. The pump foundation must have adequate drainage
to prevent the motor from getting wet. Protect the
pump from the rain and sun.
6. Proper ventilation is required for the pump to operate
normally. All motors generate heat that must be
removed by providing proper ventilation.
7. Provide access for future services by leaving a clear
area around the pump. Allow plenty of space above
the pump to remove the lid and basket for cleaning.
8. If the equipment is in a potentially dark area, provide
adequate lighting.
3.1.3 Pipe Sizing
NOTE All HP ratings given in this section apply to full-
rated pumps.
3.1.3.1 Suction Pipe
When the pump is located up to 50 feet from the
pool, the recommended minimum pipe size for the
suction side of the pump is 2" for .75 to 1.5 HP*. For
2.0 HP* pumps, the recommended pipe size is 2 ½". For
3.0 HP* pumps, the recommended pipe size is 3".
* HP refers to full rated pumps.
3.1.3.2 Discharge Pipe
When the pump is located up to 50 feet from the
pool, the recommended minimum pipe size for the
discharge side of the pump is 2" for .75 to 1.5 HP*. For
2.0 HP* pumps, the recommended pipe size is 2½". For
3.0 HP* pumps, the recommended pipe size is 3".
* HP refers to full rated pumps.
NOTE All pipe sizes are able to withstand the
pressures the pump will deliver, but not
necessarily the flow. If the pipe is too small
for the pump, or is elevated above water, the
maximum gallons per minute (GPM) may not be
delivered. If this happens, the pump will develop
a pocket of air (cavitation) that makes noise.
This may shorten the life of the pump.
3.1.3.3 Installation Recommendations
1. If the pump is located below water level, isolation
valves must be installed on both sides of the pump
to prevent the back flow of pool water during any
routine or required servicing.
