11. WATER QUALITY
Maintaining balanced water chemistry is important
to the life of your pool pump. This pump is designed
to be used with Pool & Spa water, balanced in
accordance with Langlier Saturation Index, with a
pH level of between 7.2 and 7.8 and is regularly
treated with a chlorine sanitising agent with the level
not exceeding 3ppm.
Please consult your local pool shop regularly to
have your water tested.
The electrical connections and
checks must be made by a qualified
electrician and comply with
applicable local standards. Poor
installation or poor power supply
may even result in electrical fires!
Routine Maintenance tasks – to
maximise the life of your pool equipment
and personal safety, use this checklist
once a week. Turn pump off first.
a. Make sure that any pressure
gauges are in working condition
and the operating pressure is
within limits as specified on
the product.
b. Make sure that each suction inlet,
and main drain has a cover that
is securely attached and in safe
working condition.
c. Make sure that all skimmer covers
are securely attached and in safe
working condition. These should
be replaced every 3 to 4 years.
d. Remove any obstructions or debris
from the main drain cover.
e. Ensure the skimmer baskets and the
pump hair and lint pots are free of
leaves and debris at least once a week.
f. Remove obstructions and
combustibles from around the
pump motor.
g. Make sure all wiring connections
are clean and that all wiring and
electrical equipment is in good
condition. Damaged wiring must
be repaired or replaced by a
qualified electrician as soon as
damage is discovered.
h. Check water balance and sanitiser
levels at your local pool shop.
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. Turn
off pump immediately if someone
becomes trapped.
Caution! Do not add chemicals
directly to the pool skimmer. Adding
undiluted chemicals may damage
pump and filter and void warranty.
WARNING! Pump suction is
hazardous and can trap and drown
or disembowel bathers. Do not
block suction. Do not use or operate
swimming pools, spas or spa baths if
a suction cover is broken, missing or
loose. Two suction covers and inlets
must be provided into every pump to
avoid suction entrapment.
